Lost 100 Percent!!!

Thread Starter  

...of my excess weight.

• I am at a normal BMI for the first time this millenium (I was thin-for-a-minute back in 1998).
• I've lost a steady average of 1.7lbs per week. I'm still losing about a pound per week. I think I'd still like to lose another 10lbs.
• My blood sugar was 89 at my annual physical--first time I've been in double-digits in years. I haven't had to prick myself since before Thanksgiving.
• My tummy is flat from my bra to my hip bones--no folds, no creases, no gently rolling hills. FLAT.
• My excess skin doesn't seem too bad--my tush looks deflated, but my tummy skin bounced back better than I could have hoped.
• My vertebrae are visible when I bend over and touch my toes.
• I can feel my entire rib cage except for what's covered by boobies.
• I am wearing size EIGHT jeans and a MEDIUM top.
• I've had TWO DAYS since banding (each one right after a fill) when I was frustrated because I couldn't eat what I wanted to. I could still eat, just not what I wanted at that moment.
• I really try to make healthy food choices. Because it's easy with the band, and because I deserve better.
• I never graze at gatherings anymore, I'd rather enjoy the company.
• I never end a day regretting my food choices, promising to try harder tomorrow.
• I am at peace with food--that's the best way to describe this wonderful take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

Fabulous Post! You're going to inspire everyone who reads this.

Being at peace with food is the best prize of all. Well, maybe the flat stomach is.

Congratulations on this huge accomplishment!

Congrats. You've lost 100% because you've truly made the mental changes, you can hear it in what you say. I think the fat mentality is the hardest thing of all to overcome. Well done!

Congrats...that is a major accomplishment! I, like Candle thought am a little jealous of the skin...Mine is NOT so pretty!

To have done this, you had to have changed your ways, and that should be admired. You truly do represent what the band SHOULD be used for.
