11 month bandiversary ...

[losingjusme 12]

today is my 11 month bandiversary and after weighing in at the gym this morning, i would no longer qualify for any surgery!! my bmi is 39.9 and my insurance would not pay for me if i needed it.

i still have a very long way to go, but i am just so pleased with my results. a year ago i couldnt have even imagined "only" weighing 270 pounds ...

for those of you that are considering lap band, let me tell you, this is the best decision i have made for myself - EVER.

it has been a hard 11 months. i have worked out on average 5.17 times a week. i love my cardio and strength training and cant imagine my life without that rush you do get when you work your @$$ off at the gym.

yeah for you!!!!

I also just hit the obese range...isn't it amazing how terrific obese sounds???Minus the morbidly bit before it?

As my sister said...anytime you can remove morbidly from your life...it's a great day!!!

I'm so impressed by you and wish you tons of continued success!
