40 pounds out the WINDOW!!!!!

Hey beautiful people,

Well today is a big day for me. I stepped on the scale today and saw 267.2. I am all emotional right now as this whole thing has been a roller coaster for me. First getting the band and coming to the realization that it IS A TOOL not a solution. Working on my emotions towards food and finally picking up excersice. Guys slowly but surely my life is changing right before my eyes and I cannot beleive it. My aunt is an excellent personal trainer in Calgary (One On One Fitness: Calgary's Personal Training Source). She has been working with me on my eating and since then the weight is peeling off. and guys I am eating well you know what I mean. I am used to the fad diets like Dr. Bernstein and protein diets. I never thought in a million years that I could eat rice or oatmeal. When she told me this I thought she was NUTS!!! I am so happy as when I reach 260 I am going to Calagary for personal training with her. God I wish I had her butt!! I am feeling this morning! I am on top of the world.

And thank you all for your support during my journey!

Congratulations! That's wonderful! Keep up the good work. One day you will be as skinny as that personal trainer.

Sweetforlife,

I am soooo happy for you! You have worked hard and it has paid off. Enjoy your new lease on life. I was banded on Mar 19th this year by Dr C and my loss is slow like most new banders. One day I hope to be where you are today. Keep up the good work. I saw you at the symposium....you looked great!

Right on Sweet!!

Congrats on your big win, I am sure that you are feeling very pleased. Hard work=Big payoff. I was at the symposium too but unfortunately didn't get to meet you. Maybe next year!! Keep up the good stuff!!

ps. Does your Auntie know any good personal trainers in Edmonton? lol I have no idea where to start to look for one.

Irish,

My next goal is simply 260. When I get there I can go to Calgary to train for a few days with my aunt....I am very excited about this.

Congrats! We're almost at the same weight but I started out heavier. I need to start training too!
