Hi from Seattle (New to LBT but not to the band)

[snogirl 0]

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am relatively new to LBT, I've been lurking for a couple of days and used to be active on other forums before I just got really tired of them and took a break for a while. After just starting to poke around here I really like what I see. Everything is laid out really well and stuff is so much easier to find, and they seem to be drama-free, how wonderful!

Anyway about me- I'm 33, no kids (but will TTC after a year or so), I live in the Seattle area and was banded 5 months ago. I really couldn't be happier. I've lost a total of 62 lbs, 37 since surgery. I've had 4 fills and am up to 7.8cc in my 10cc APS band. I'm married, have 2 cats and a giant Alaskan malamute. My hubby is a game developer and I am an IT manager. We moved to this area about 18 months ago and I don't know very many people here, though I love living here. When I'm not working I like to scrapbook (CM), play video games, read books, watch movies, and explore the area via hiking or snowshoeing.

My weight loss is going pretty well, but I really need to kick up the exercise, because other than walking I'm not doing much other than snowshoeing (which is still walking!). I love doing yoga but keep finding excuses not to go (usually $ and time).

My story is pretty similar to everyone else's, so I won't bore you by writing it here, it's all on my blog anyway.

So HI! I'm looking forward to hanging out here and getting to know you guys.
