14 weeks and 50% down!

[Twinkles 7]

I am beyond thrilled to say that 50% of the weight I've set out to lose is GONE! 62 pounds gone in 14 weeks!!!

This is honestly the best decision I have EVER made for myself. I've been lucky and have had great restriction since surgery. I have yet to ever really be hungry and my outlook on food is SO different.

I have made the changes and I've reaped the benefits. I jog 2-2.5 miles a day, hoping to run a 5k by the end of the year. Then my next 'big' goal is to run the Disney Princess half marathon at Disney World in 2012. More than anything I thoroughly enjoy running.

YAY me!!!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. I am being banded Nov. 16th (Tuesday) and it is such an inspiration to know how well this can work if you put your mind to it and go for it! Wishing you much continued success.

Good for you, Twinkles. That is awesome weight loss for a 14-week period of time. That is because you changed both your eating and exercise habits. I've changed both habits, too, but I have much smaller results. I've lost 24 lbs since my 9/17/10 band surgery. Still, I'm happy with that result. Twenty-four lbs is more than 10% of my original body weight which makes a big difference in how healthy I feel.

I don't think I've yet found my sweet spot. I only had my 1st fill a few weeks ago. I currently have a 3cc fill and probably need more as I'm only somewhat restricted. I'll go back for another fill next month.

All in all, I'm thrilled with the results of my surgery. Best decision I ever made!

i have been banded since 27th nov last year wich is one year in 2 and half weeks and i have lost a total of 126lb since going for my surgery and feel amazing, i have dropped form a uk size 30 to a 14/16 and my only regret is that i didnt have the surgery years ago

Contratz!!!

Sounds like you have been very commited in your journey. Mind sharing what you eat on a typical day?

Keep up the good work!:rolleyes2:

So amazing, Twinkles. I can "hear" the excited in your post. Good luck with your next goals and working towards your runs.

Isn't this just a fun journey when everything clicks? Sounds like you have the rountine down and have made all the right changes to live a healthier life. Don't ever lose that determination. It takes just as much and a little more when reaching that ultimate goal and it looks as if you have developed the tools to make it all work. Way to go!!!!

You are absolutely amazing and an inspiration to many. You are lucky that the weight is coming off so easily. Best success on this continue journey. Good luck with the Disney Princess run, sounds fun. I don't think I will be able to get there to do that. Can you wear a tiara to run?

[Twinkles 7]

Thanks all for the kudos... I AM beyond pleased with the way this all has gone for me and like someone said above, I only regret I didn't do this years ago.

HAHA - Cangel - I haven't seen any tiaras in the pictures, but I've seen many with tutus. lol... But I DO like the tiara idea!

Now that I've actually typed that goal out, it seems all to real and now I REALLY want to make sure I accomplish it!

Again, I wish all you continued success and kudos to those who have been banded and had awesome success too!!!
