Gosh, I haven't been able to get to this journal for the longest time! Ever since we went to the new "skin" the link didn't work. Found a work-around.

so, it's July 3rd and I feel like I'm doing great!! Had my 3rd fill 6 days ago and am loving my restriction. If it could stay just like this I'd be real happy! Hopefully I'll start losing like a good bandster now.

I'm exercising 5x a week: working with a trainer (Rory), trying different classes (they all kick my butt), swimming, cardio, etc. This morning I will try spinning for the first time. Last night I tried a step class (fun!). WHO IS THIS PERSON? Feel great and have no plans to stop, that's for sure. I think this is the longest I have consistently worked out and am really feeling all the benefits. It's incredible and I'm hooked! Richard is working out too and I noticed this morning that his biceps are really getting BIG! I'll have to check out the rest of him a little more closely!! :car:

Today I weigh 194. Seem to be averaging about 1 lb/week...maybe a little less. But that's pretty good because I'm not "dieting" per se. Eating things I enjoy, just less of them. I've had to get rid of SO many clothes but hated them anyway! LOL Gave them to Holly and hopefully she's getting some use out of them. She'll get more!

Making great friends here on LBT. It's been a wonderful source of support and my sister Violets are all doing very well. This is an incredible journey and so much fun to have others going thru the same experiences and sharing our victories. What a positive place!

Hopefully I'll be posting here more often. I'm so pumped and this is a good place to write where people won't get tired of me. LOL

I LOVE MY BAND!!
