5lbs Away from 1st Short Term Goal!!!
OK So today is 8/19 which is exactly 2 months since I have been banded. Wow has time flown, it feels like just last week! It's so weird though because I can't imagine my life without this band it has been so amazing. Anyone who is thinking about getting this, get it!!! I am down 22lbs as of today which has been an average loss of 2 3/4 lbs per week! That is incredible! They say the average is 1-2 per week so I'm way ahead of the game. Can I be completely honest for a second? I've lost 22lbs in 2 months and it has been with very minimal exercise. Some weeks I did nothing, some I have done something 3 times a week but I am not killing myself at all with exercise. Not that I am bragging or anything (I'm not really proud of it) but I just wanted you all to know that you can loose weight and not live at the gym! Just make good food choices!!! I am going to start upping my cardio though because I really want to try and average around 3lbs per week. I'm pulling double shifts this week so next week starts me going to the gym more!

Excellent work, missy! You're killing it (I lost a lot of weight with barely any trouble either.. now..sigh..not so much.. gotta keep up this walking!!)
Awesome on the 22 lbs, sucky they pushed your fill out. But if that's #3 then I wouldn't worry. My 2nd fill is tomorrow. I'll blog about it. I'm down a total of 20 lbs so we're staying really close to one another, haha! I MUST exercise as well. I've just got to find something I enjoy so that I'm excited to do it. Plus it seems to be put on the back burner after my job, kids, and then hott guys. Oh well, will try harder.
oh well actually it was my scheduling conflict so I pushed it out but its all good! this fill seems to be doing a little something so I'm just fine with it being 3 1/2 weeks after the 2nd one.
Isnt it just brilliant! You're doing so well staying at it also. It certainly makes you realise how sad our lives were struggling away without a band how off the track we really were in torturing ourselves and hating ourselves when we failed. Keep at it chicky - and enjoy that first goal!
Love your weakness comment - so true! Most peoples craziness is hard to see at first glance and ours is out there for all to comment!
Great blog! I am so glad to hear you rave about the band. I am scheduled for surgery in 12 days!
Awesome losing that much so quickly. And I am not at all surprised about the exercise thing...I just read an article about how exercise is overrated as far as weight loss goes - because most people consume more calories to make up for those burned exercising.
