Kristi Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 :lb14: So this morning is my 6 month bandaversary. The time has flown by so fast. I still cannot believe that I am where I am with my weight right now. I worry sometimes that I am gonna wake up and this be a nightmare and I am back at 238. I have worked very hard at the gym but I love my band. So here are the changes that have happened in the last 6 months. On 4/24/09, I weighed in at 238. (highest weight) My surgery Day 5/19/09: 221 Today 11/19/09: 150.3 I wish I would have measured myself completely back then. The only measurement I know is my waist which was 43 1/2 now it is 29 1/2 Size of clothes: 4/24/09 & 5/19/09 tops: XXL & 14/16 as well as 18/20 jeans: 18 (tight) dress: 16 - 18 5/19/09: tops: medium to large depending on the cut jeans: mostly 8s, but I bought a pair of Levi's yesterday that are a size 6. dress: not sure, haven't bought one or tried any sizes on yet. What a whirlwind this has been. I am not yet at goal, my first goal is a tad more than 5 pounds to go, and that will put me at 145. I want to get to 138 to 135. The support from this forum has been so wonderful and I thank my lucky stars to have found all of you. I am blessed. So many of you are more than just support, you are friends. Hugs to all, Kristi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugs to all, Kristi Congrats to you on your success!! Contrary to popular belief, we all know that even w/ the band you still have to have dicipline, drive and will power to make it happen. The weight doesn't come off on it's own. February will be my 6 mo. anniversary and you have inspired me to continue to work hard and know that it can happen. You go and rock those size 6 jeans, you've earned it!! :cheerleader: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
