One Year!!!!

[KayleighsMommy 16]

Today is my one year Bandiversary :biggrin:

I am down 72 pounds. I so wanted to be down 75 by today, but I am happy with the 72.

I still have a long way to go, and wish I was one of those people who could say I've lost 100 something in a year... but I will just have to work harder to get there.

Looking back on this year....

When I get down about my (in my mind) not fast enough weight loss I sometimes wish I had gone another route (bypass)..... but even while I have these thoughts, I know the band was the right choice for me.

Do I regret being banded... never!!!!

Any advice to newbies?? E-X-E-R-C-I-S-E

I do regret I did not exercise at the beginning. I had some post op complications that made me quite miserable, but I wish I had pushed myself a bit more. I lost 40+ pounds just sitting in my recliner all day/every day. I imaging how much I would have lost had I actually moved around those first few months.

I let myself lose focus for a while (3 month plateaus when you are doing everything right can do that to you) :thumbup:

In the last month or so I have recommited to my band (I was never too far of the reservation...just not as careful as I could have/should have been)

I am watchng what I eat... making better choices. I am also getting more moving in (I hate to call it exercise... that sounds like work :glare:)

I will get there... it is just taking a bit longer than I had hoped and planned.
