What a difference a year can make!

[krzy4vt 109]

I find myself struggling to see the changes that everyone else sees lately. Well, my mind is finally catching up with my body! I get it and see it now! I was banded 12/3/12 and I'm 7months post-op and have lost over 70lbs! I feel better mentally and physically. I have been hitting the gym at 4am, 4-5x's week and it is paying off. My before pic is 7/5/12 in the blue shirt is before surgery and my after pic in the pink dress is 7/5/13, exactly one year apart. I had no clue till I posted the new pic on FB and everyone was commenting on it so I looked up pics from last summer and I was like "now I see it". All i can say is What a difference a year can make"! Also my beautiful Bambino in the pics is my main motivation to get healthy and active for her. <3

Also thanks to everyone on LBT for sharing their stories, struggles and victories. This site has kept me going and staying focused on the long term goals!
