Hey there friends!! I know the last time I logged on here way May but I have been working my butt off :) I managed to lose 45 of the 60 lbs by the time I had surgery. My surgery was approved in September so I just took the first date they gave me! I had lapband surgery on September 26, 2011 and have lost 20 lbs. My total loss thus far is 65 lbs and I feel awesome! I have 81 lbs to go for a goal of 145 :) This journey has been incredible and challenging at the same time. I have been pushing myself and really trying my best. If you would like to see my progress from week to week please feel free to join me on youtube, my name on there is bandedbabe84...I am almost at my first goal of 220! Just six more lbs to go! My next goal after that is 200 so the tracker will change as time goes on. I'm going to do my best to log in here more often because I need support and I love to support others too. Talk to you soon again!

I know I haven't been blogging on here in the last 3 weeks but I am finally at the end of month one!! 13.4 lbs gone!! I can't believe it has been 4 weeks...that's so crazy to me. I'm just thinking if I was able to do this for a month I can do this for a lifetime. Yes, there are A LOT of challenges but it is so worth it. I feel so good right now and I am so proud of myself. I know I can do this and I am only taking it one day at at time. I know in the end it will be worth it!! I'm just so happy that I am taking the bull by the horns and kicking my food addiction in the ass. But it is not easy but I have lots of positive mental notes all over my mirror and I think this week I am going to buy something a size smaller that I really like so that I can wear it for the summer. I love shopping so maybe a pair of capris or something along those lines or a smaller shirt so that I can have some movitivation. I feel great right now!

May 9, 2011 Today is week one of my journey and I am very proud of my weight loss which was 3 lbs. So about 54 lbs to go!! I have had some struggles like being a bit hungry in the afternoon but as long as I stick to my plan I am a-okay!! It can only get easier from here so I am looking forward to the rest of my journey and posting as I go along. It will be worth it in the end, this I know!!

May 3, 2011 Yesterday, I had a really bad migrane in the afternoon but once I had coffee I felt much better and I took some Aleve too. I get migranes often and I also think it was due to not having sugar through out the day. Today, right now, I feel really hungry!! Lunch is in 10 min. and I'm ready to EAT!! Today is only day two and I know it will get easier. I'm preparing myself that I'm not going to devour my lunch in 5 minutes...it is a grilled chicken salad with veggies and low balsamic dressing but I need to eat slowly so I get full and stay full and yes I had a snack at 10:15. It will take time for my stomach to get smaller and I will do it but right now it is hard. This too shall pass

May 2, 2011 Today I start my journey and well I've had the same journey off and on for the last 15 years or so but my health worries me as I approach my late 20's and I'm not married and I don't have children so it is the perfect time for me to focus on it. It is going to be difficult and I have to be prepared always. It is going to be a lot of work but I MUST do it and that includes working out, not my favorite thing in the world to do. I know I can do it and I will do it so that I can be prepared for lap band surgery in December. I am excited but looking forward to the half way mark already LOL One day at a time for now :) Here we go!!
