50.6 lbs GONE!!!!

Oh.My.Lanta.!!! I didn't think I would ever see that number! I am now 12 lbs from my goal of 150 lbs. I cannot even really process this yet. I am beyond ecstatic with my journey since getting my band last March. Yea, I know, I do my share of whining to Steve and my family: "its so slow", "why can't i just wake up skinny?", you know what I mean. In less than 10 months, I am averaging 5 lbs. per month. I have been so diligent about keeping my daily calories to 1200 or less but I really think for me, its the exercise. Its taking me my whole life to really "get it". Exercise is a necessary evil and I will need it in my life forever to stay healthy! On that note, I have an 8 a.m. spin class that I have to get to. I just wanted to share my good news with y'all!!!

Have a great day!

Awesome! I can't imagine being 12 pounds from goal! For me the bigger challenge is staying under 1200 cals - that is a huge piece of the puzzle.

Nice work Jacquie!

1-11-11 is a lucky day for both of us!! Congrats! You are such a skinny girl now, can't wait til I am that close to 150.. I still have a loong way to go but it will totally be worth it if I can look half as good as you do!

Sandy said...

Woo Hoo! So happy for you.

Marie said...

What a great accomplishment! So glad the band has been so successful for you. You work it girl!

Woo hoo! That's truly something to celebrate! And good for you on the exercise-I made myself go get on the treadmill for 30 mins. I think I'm learning too - its just a requirement.

Thanks for your support and encouraging words on my blog. I am feeling some restriction tonight and the hunger is waning - so that's good!
I'm also glad to know someone else with a 4cc band. Not many of us out there from what I can tell. I sure hope this 2.7 works for me just right!
