Happy One Year Anniversary - August All Stars

[GaryB 0]

:thumbup:Happy One Year Anniversary to all The August All Stars. I am also reflective since tomorrow , Aug 15th, is my one year aniv.

I am down 61lbs and feel great. Although my weight loss has plateaued, I exercise vigorously every day. I put in 35-40 minutes on the treadmill, 60 sit ups and do some light lifting.

I know I could have lost more weight with a more strict diet. My goal for year two is 25 more pounds. 2 pounds a month. I have been at 4cc in a 10cc band since February. I don't think I need another fill.

My doctor's surgical skills were great but his post band attention to patents is less desirable.. I only see the NP.

On another note, I still can't figure out how to post before and after pictures, hopefully soon.

Anyway, wife and I Celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this October and I turn 50 in February. Big events and I feel great.

All the best to everyone and thank you for your continued support..

Hey can understand now losing the last 20 pounds slowly.

I will do the same. I am happy with my loss for the year. Most people don't even recognize me now. And it's so much fun getting "normal sized" clothing.

Congratulations to everyone on the one year anniversary

we all did so well it's wonderful.

Congratulations!!! My anniversary was Aug 14. I have been banded for a year and down 60 pounds also. It is GREAT to be able to go to a store to buy clothes!!!! I am anxious to lose more weight.
