Renewed~ Happy Birthday girl!! Hope you have a wonderful day and wonderful weekend camping. Leslie~ Glad to hear you are moving again! Lyn~ The run club sounds great!! Size 10 is great too!! I can't wait to get there.

If I don't watch my carbs, I don't lose. I've tried eating a balanced diet and it took a 3 month plateau for me to realize I have to limit my carbs. That's just me though...

I'd say that's a good problem to have. It's shows how well you have done. Congrats to you!

Hi dietpeach! The new way of life can seem a little shocking sometimes, but it does get better over time. I do not miss soda anymore at all. Bread doesn't have to be out the picture completely if you can handle it. I choose not to eat it the majority of the time, simply because I watch my carbs. It's been a year since my surgery and I don't even think about it as being a "different" way of eating anymore. It's normal for me now. Once you get good restriction, it helps with hunger a lot. Good luck to you!

Thanks luluc! The shoes are new and I caught them on a huge sale the other day. I think I paid $3.99 for them, lol. I'm always looking for bargains.

WTG Tootie! You're doing great! I agree with the other, go for the 5K!! Lyn~ Hope the fill gives you some restriction. Take care. Sugarbean~ Yowza! Sounds painful! Hope your legs feel better soon. Kathy~ Hope you get the bees under control. I don't like them either. My son got stung by a wasp (on his head) a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness he wasn't allergic. It scared me. Renewed~ Have fun at the track!! It must be nice to have your whole family involved.

Kristi, Leslie, and Allykat~ Great NSV's girls!! Keep up the good work guys!!

Today is my 1-year Bandiversary and I couldn't be more pleased with my results so far. As of today, I am officially 100 pounds down! I'm so excited I could scream!! My hard work over this past month has paid off. I feel better than I have felt in 10 years. When I look back where I was a year ago, I am just amazed at the difference. A year ago I got winded just walking to my car and now I can run almost 1.5 miles straight! I'm starting to tear up as I type this because I am just so happy. You guys have been a tremendous help, through the losing spurts and the awful plateaus. Thanks for the support everyone! Couldn't have done without ya'll.

Okay, so here are my 1-year progress pictures. I can't believe it's been a year already. I guess the old saying is true, "time flies when your having fun". The first one was me at 330 lbs and the second is me at 230 lbs.

Thanks allykat! Okay, I posted some pics in the before and after (main page) but I'll go post them here to. Thanks again!

Everyone looks FABULOUS!! Thought I would post an updated picture. Sept. 20th was my one year bandiversary and I made my goal of losing 100 lbs by my bandiversary! The before picture was me at 330 lbs and the after is me at 230 lbs!

Thanks Jeannie! I sure hope I can run the whole thing. Even if I can't, it's just about finishing it. Who cares if we have to walk a little.

Leading by 67 now! Go BBK!!!! Go vote everyone!!
