Hi, I Kristina

Hello Everyone!

I am 25 years old, I was banded on April 1st, 2008 and I have lost 80 pounds. My weight lost is slowing down so I thought talking about my issues and problems and getting support online could help!

I am a 4th Grade teacher and I am also in Grad school at Univ. of Florida. I love school, teaching and learning! It is the best.

I also have a part time job at Chuck E Cheese's. I have worked there over 9 years!!! I enjoy working there- it is a lot of fun!

My favorite thing to do is play softball! I also enjoy spending time with the fam.

That is all for now, I am also blogging- check out my first blog:)

Thank you all!

I couldnt tell you why or how I have done so well... It seems like it was just yesterday when I got banded and didnt feel like eating bc of the gas pains...

I ate very little and drank a lot of Water... other than that I dont know:)

Thanks for asking!
