its been a while. i had my surgery in jan. and here it is in aug. amazing how fast time goes.when i started i was 215lbs.i was taking meds for high blood preasure , high cholesteral, diabetes, . well i'm off the cholesteral and the diabetes meds ! the blood pressure is finally under control, with less meds.i've lost70 lbs .50lbs. since surgery. and this morning i weighed in at 145lbs.! i can't remember when i weighed that little. the least i weighed was150lbs.so this was my personal goal. I LOVE MY BAND! there have been many changes ,ending with another major life change.i'll be moving to florida next month. it will be a good move once i get situated down ther. i was planning to do this next year ,but life gets in the way.so i'm not really ready,but i have faith this is the right time to make this transition. after expierencing life without food to numb the pain , i think i'll take the momentum that i've built up and use it to its best advantage. its a concious effort to make the right choices. i.ve used fitday to hold myself acountable.that works for me.when i make bad choices i don't beat myself up. i just eat better afterwards.l've been more active and intend to go to a gym after i move, to build up more muscle mass.the shar pai look doesn't thrill me,so i'll do what i can to tone up. overall i'm a bit overwhelmed with the change, but thrilled.i'm beginning to feel comfortable in my new skin. i don't post much , but i'm on everyday, you guys have kept me going. you're great...i love you all ! did i say I LOVE MY BAND ! robin
