mousek 4 Posted May 3, 2011 I've lost a total of 121 pounds!!!!! :clap: :waytogo: :welldone2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousek 4 Posted May 3, 2011 I guess I should add my name to this list!! I had my surgery on 2-22-10 and I started at 300 pounds. Today, 4-19-11, I am 151 pounds... That's 149 pounds lost!!! My initial goal was to get to 150 pounds, but now that I am here, I am thinking that I might as well go for 13 more pounds so I can say that I have a normal BMI. ~Annette~ :success1: :drum: Drum roll please!

mominoc 11 Posted May 15, 2011 How has loss of 100 pounds changed my life? Here are just a few off top of my head..... I can go out in public and not be embarrassed. I can wear bluejeans comfortably. I can fit into booths at resteraunts and movie theaters without problems. My legs don't rub together catching my pants on fire....:nervous My nieces and nephews can sit on my lap, I never had one before. I have more confidence in myself to get up in front of crowds now. I can wear a seatbelt in the vehicle now (before it would not fit) I don't suffer from severe depression anymore. I have energy to exercise and do more outdoors things with my husband. I can shop for clothes in my hometown instead of ordering everything from plus size catalogs. The JOY I get if I pass someone I know who has not seen me in a long time and they don't recognize that it is me!!! :clap2: My favorite...My husband tells everyong he got a new wife and did not even have to get a divorce.:kiss2: See attached photo of how it looks..... I just wanted to thank you for this list. I need to remember my goals and the gifts I will have when I've lost all my excess weight. I have lost 50 so doing well. Banded 2/7/2011. Going in for second fill tomorrow, Monday, 5/16/2011. It is already easier to do things with my children (5 and 6 yrs old), to get into booths, to have more energy, so I am excited about how great it will feel with the rest of my weight off. I love my band. Wish I had gotten it yrs ago, but wasn't ready then. I finally got it that I'm an addict and that I did need banding. I have hope now and realize I was never a failure, just an addict. I'm happy my kids aren't fat and that now their mom won't be either. Thanks for reminding me of all the 'goodies" I get from continuing to lose my weight. Gail in Ca. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mominoc 11 Posted May 15, 2011 P.S. : forgot to say that one of the biggest things for me is not sweating so much. Its gotten a little better, but know that losing the rest of my weight will really take care of that. I may even get cold! Ha I'm already less self conscious overall and when I don't sweat as much I will feel much better about everything. I want it all......a wonderful life! Thanks again. Gail in CA.

mominoc 11 Posted May 15, 2011 Currently down 112 pounds! It's hard though, I feel awesome about and yet still conflicted. I started at 478! I would like to get down to 220-250. So being at 366 now, I still have 146 - 116 to go. Really almost to the halfway point and it's been 1.5 years since I was banded. I joined a gym and have been hitting the ellipitcal like a champ. But just really want to reach my goal. WOW! CONGRATULATIONS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
