2 years!

[Lynn42 8]

How is everyone doing? My 2 year bandiversarry was June 8 and I have lost a total of 67 pounds. I still have 50 to go. I have been struggling and haven't lost any weight in the last 6 months.I keep going up and down the same 3 pounds. I was having trouble with my band adjustments. First I was too tight and then too loose and I just had a small fill yesterday so am hoping I have hit my sweet spot again. At the beginning of June I made a commitment to myself to make myself a top priority in my life...we all know how hard that is. I have a personal trainer and have been working hard on my card and weights with him. I am really hoping to get back on track with my weight loss. I am so grateful to have my band and i could have never got here without it. I hope you are all doing well and would love to hear some updates.

Take care,

Lynn

Two years ago I was 235 lbs. Now I am 135. Though it goes up and down 5 lbs

I feel better. I have gone from wearing a size 24 to a size 4!!!!!

I have never been a size 4!!! Crazy cool!!

People say "Aw, you're a tiny lady". If only they had seen me two years before. It is still a mental struggle for me though. Like I still "feel" like I'm a big woman. Then I see myself in a mirror and am pleasantly surprised. And I still have head hunger. I still want to eat lots but I just can't. I know that's not good. So I'm working on a mind change. The lapband def helped me get to where I am, now I gotta use my mind to help me stay there!!! With Jesus on my side, I'll make it!!!

My 2 years was June 5th, I lost 126 lbs my first year, maintained it my 2nd year. Then with a move, DD's wedding, etc. I did gain about 15 lbs. I am now working hard on getting those back off, not as easy as the first time. I joined the gym here, got my fill back (had to have some taken out a while back). I too struggle with the head hunger and wanting more and with still seeing myself as the fat person, hopefully my head will catch up with my body. Another thing I am cold all the time!

Gosh, you are doing awesome! When was the last time you maintained a 67lb loss for 6 months? That's terrific!

At this point, it's probably just a few tweaks to your eating/excersize routine that will help the most and it sounds like you've got a good handle on making those updates. The last part of our weight comes off the slowest, but don't worry, it will still come off if you change things up a little bit.

I'm approaching my 1 year anniversary and my 1 year goal. My weight loss plan is for 2-3 years. You can check out what all I'm doing towards that end on my blog below.

Good luck to you!
