January Bandsters-5 month update

[MarilynJ6354 5]

:thumbup:As of this morning I have lost 35 lbs in exactly 5 months and I am pleased. My BIG thrill is that this morning I weighed 199...under 200 FINALLY after going back and forth a pound or two for the past week. I am so excited, especially to see my BMI drop so much these past 5 months. Changing up my workout seems to be a crucial part of this process, for me anyway, so I add variety each week. My son got me a mini iPod Shuffle for my birthday and I loaded it up with some great workout music which is a motivator. That eliptical gets a real workout when I work to the beat. The heat is rough down here in Charlotte, in the 90s, so right now the gym is my only workout, which is fine. I added 10 minutes more to make up for not working outside. Hope the rest of you are doing great!

I was banded jan 12th.

down 55 lbs so far and another 40 or so to go.

i know the last lbs will come off slower than the first ones, but i'm in this for the long haul.

continued success to you and all the other fellow bandsters out there.

Congrats to both of you! As of this morning, I am down 45 lbs!! Whoo-hoo! I'm very excited too. I can't wait to see what we will be like next year at this time!

We are all doing awesome!! I go to the doctor this Friday for the post op psych evaluation and possible fill, although I'm not sure I will do it. I have only lost 6 lbs in the last month but I like losing it slowly. I seems to prevent any sagging, at least for me.
