Wooooooo-Hooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I finally hit the 50 lbs down mark this morning!!! I am finally back in the 170s -- I haven't seen that number for YEARS!!!!

I am so happy right now, and so glad that I decided to get banded. I could never have gotten to this point on my own. I now have only 24.6 more lbs to go to get me to my goal of 155 (with a super goal of 145). What a great feeling!! I just wanted to share it with you guys!

BTW, it's taken me nearly 9 months to lose 50 lbs. I saw the other day that someone was lamenting only losing that much, but I feel really good about it! If I hadn't been banded, I probably would have put on another 10-15 lbs during that time, and today I'd be beating myself up mentally because nothing fits. Instead, I'm cheering and doing a little happy dance because almost nothing fits (it's all too big)!!

You should feel good about it! What a wonderful day for you! Congratulations!!!!!

Thanks!! I am so happy about this!!

Nellie (and all new bandsters), if you haven't taken your measurements, be sure to do it right away! It's so great to be able to see the inches go when the scale isn't moving all that quickly.

With 24+ less inches on me, I have to admit that I am a LOT more comfortable and look a lot leaner!

Congratulations!!! Your attitude is really great. Only 26 lbs to go- so very doable and achievable. I can't wait to be in the 170's!!!

That's Awesome!!

I seem to be at a stall between 188-190. I can't wait to get out of the 180's and into the 170's. It has been at least 7 years since I was there....
