50 Down

[HeavyHeartland 0]

Thanksgiving Day, I weighed 388. I was banded on 12/3. As of this morning, I hit 338. 50 pounds in basically a month.

I'm walking (on average) three times a week, drinking basically only Water, and eating normal, soft foods (scrambled eggs, Soups, you know the drill).

I know the next 50 will go slower, but I'm still looking forward to it. My journey has begun with a bang.

That is amazing Heavy. I'm in awe. There are definitely some great pay offs for staying with it. 50 in a month! I don't even know what to say!

I hope you are feeling as good as it sounds. I can't imagine how I'll feel in 30 more pounds (that will be about my 50). The change now is unbelievable.

So kudos to you. I look to you for my advice. You've obviously been doing something right. Thank you for your inspiration.

Shelly and Heavy WOO HOO!!! Keep it up.

If I'd lost 44 - 50 lbs. I'd have to buy new pants. So maybe I won't be too envious... gotta pay off my deductable before buying clothes. LOL

I'll be watching for more news from the two of you.

I am so amazed! you are doing awsome!

I am going to start working out tonight. I need to go work out. ugg I am just not a fan of working out. But it seems to work for you.

Thanks everyone! Some of my clothes are definitely fitting a but looser, but all the clothes sitting in my closet that were too small are still too small. Personally I don't think there's a huge difference yet (or I would have posted pix), but a lot of people at work have been telling me I look different, especially in the face.

The best part...you will NEVER see that 50 pounds again. It is gone forever. How exciting for oyu!!!

I read somewhere that the difference between a size 6 and 8 as apposed to the difference between a 2x and 3x if much more noticable.

I'm sure as soon as you start dropping sizes they will seem to fly by. I've read some of Jack's posts and I think he makes that point often.

I'm the same "size" but my curves are starting to curve in instead of out. I'm no longer one big square!

You'll be changing sizes in no time if you keep your momentum. I still say I'm in awe of your success!
