    Thumbs up A (S)Milestone!

    I'm ringing the bells and chiming the chimes! I am blowing whistles and tooting my own horn!!! I have lost 50 pounds!

    My students are going to be thrilled. I started a walking club and they are loving it. We walked yesterday and I told them that I had one pound to go until I hit the 50 mark. I also told them that if it happened today, my walkers would all earn extra credit! Oh, there will be celebrations!

    Being a looser is so much fun

    Way to go. Good for you. I am sure the students are very excited for you and enjoying getting out of the classroom as well.
    278 was my starting weight before my Lapband in July 2008
    199 was my lowest weight with Lapband as of July 2009
    79 lbs was my total weight lost with Lapband.
    59 lbs was the amount I allowed myself to put back on in 3 years before I said "this has to stop!"
