Well, my first blog here at lapbandtalk.com and I feel nervous - I mean what if someone actually reads this?

I named it "1 pound at a time" because I have to start remembering that just like the Alcoholic Anonymous saying " one day at a time" it really is one pound at a time.

I cannot keep looking so far ahead a that I lose sight of the here and now, the little triumphs and the little victories.

So today was that little victory, I lost one pound - and I am fine with this as I haven't lost for a month - now I am proud to say I am 193.5! My goal this month is to hit 190 and I believe not only will I do it but I will exceed....

but again, one pound at a time... stop looking so far ahead that you set yourself up, that you become lax in your food and your exercise...

these are the things I need to remember.

Great attitude! Keep blogging...it helps!

Agreed completely. All of us have a long way to go on our journeys, but we all need to remember that it's the little victories that will get us through to the end result. Keep up the good work! It'll come off!

Thank you so much you guys!
