Alright, I needed a few hours to find all my photos, so I didn't post on my 10 month bandiversary a few days ago... but I'm ready now.

As of a few days ago, I am down 90lbs!! WOOHOO!! I can't believe my eyes.. I'm at 212lbs right now... down from 304.5lbs thanks to me, my amazing band, my surgeon, my support system and OH.

The biggest part of my current success has been (I hate to say) exercise. If you check out my ticker, you will see that I've gone mad. I truly have. Two weeks ago, I didn't exercise at all...ever. But I had my lightbulb moment somehow and realized that without exercise, this journey wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to. Now, with exercise, the scale is on the move - almost 10lbs in two weeks! My appetite is down, my portions are down and exercise makes me feel AMAZING (this is coming from an exercise HATER).

I can't wait for the next 10lbs... once I hit 100lbs lost.. I have no idea what I'm going to do... it will be absolutely UNREAL... heck, it already is unreal!!

I told one of my friends yesterday that I always thought being thinner (healthier) would feel good.... but I TRULY never thought it would be THIS good!

                         I my band!!!!!

And for viewer entertainment... here are a ton of photos:

Today I put on the same outfit as I was wearing in the below BEFORE photo and tried standing the same... I love the difference... the clothes are so saggy now!!

I took the BEFORE photo of myself in this bathing suit that I bought in London when I was about 280lbs... to send to my mom. Well, a few weeks ago I tried the bathing suit on again and it looks way better now!!

Elena-

You are absolutely GORGEOUS!!  Hou fun to see your progress.  You have done a fabulous job with your band.  Congratulations on on becoming an exercise maniac- eventually you will probably get to the point where you actually enjoy moving (espeically with your dog)!  You should be VERY proud of yourself!

Enjoy the day!
