julieburns Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I wanted to give an update on my weight loss thus far. Today I hit 65 pounds gone forever. I am excited to say this will be the first Christmas ever that I will either maintain my weight or perhaps lose. I love my band. I am in the 2-teens now and can't wait to be under the 2's!!! It has not just melted off quickly. A good portion of my weight loss has been since my 2nd fill the end of September of this year. Yes I am at my "sweet spot" although from one day to the next my band can change on me. The last few weeks I have had no appetite and am forcing myself to get in enough protein etc. per day. I have a long way to go yet. I want to lose #100 pounds total and I know my loss could slow down. I am a poor exerciser although I have a very physical active job which I count as exercise. I enjoy walkinf my dogs almost everyday so that counts too. Do I have a secret to my loss?... No. Just perseverance and continue each day at a time even if you are not losing. Sooner or later it will come off. I am not in a sprint rather a marathon that I hope to finish by the end of next year. I know I havn't posted pics which I need to do but I am computer lame and my hubby must do this for me and he's super busy. I promise by the end I will get my pics on though. To any newbies out there all I can say is yes this works for good. You will never regret ( I hope as I have not) getting banded. It is NOT easy though. I have had lots of hurdles to jump through along the way. And to the "oldies" I thank you for all the continued messages here on this forum... it is the life line for myself and many others who are going through this. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Julie, I am so proud of you – CONGRADULATIONS!! You deserve this, you have worked so hard and you’ve always been such a positive support for everyone on this board. You’ll hit your goal before you know it! All of a sudden you’re just done… I can’t wait for that day for you!! Make sure to take a new picture soon and post it! I can’t wait to see it!! (Or get your hubby to fast please) Keep it up – you’re on the home stretch!! And one important note, you’re right - we're not in a race - no one wins a prize for a greater or faster weight loss. This is a journey for each of us to a better and healthier lifestyle and we'll each do it our own way! I'm just sooo happy for you!! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I am so jelious. I feel like I am at a stand still right now and completely frustrated that I can not get a fill. I hope to be where you are some day. I am not sure what is going to happen. May have to find somewhere else to get a fill. Where are you going for yours?

JazzyJude Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Julie ~ Congrats on your loss...this inspires others! Yes, everyone loses at their own pace and you are doing yours at your pace, which I am finding out, slow is good too. I, too, would love to see your before and after pictures, to see the huge difference ~ they are so inspiring and also so that YOU can marvel at your weight loss too!
