    Way to go Diane!! Looks like we're getting back to normal now. I'm holding at 181-183 and feeling great. If I vary much from that, I 5knuckle down and dance with the one that brung me. I still work out at least 5 times a week and I'm up to 5 miles a day at 4mph on the treadmill at 10% elevation. That helps to keep me in line very quickly if I begin to stray. Keep up the good work and stay in touch......

    Feeling great but have been stalled for quite awhile now. I like to think my body is just trying out the 218-220 range temporarily, but when looking at my loss graph on My Fitness Pal it looks like I hit a wall, just flatlined awhile back...

    Need to up the exercise, drink more shakes and really tighten up on some of those phantom carbs. This last bit is tough. How is everyone else doing?

    Hi!

    I took my monthly 'Progress pictures' this weekend, & am just so proud of how far I've come in this past year! It's so hard to believe the difference 12 months can make! ..Especially if you take pics along the way (I take them monthly!), so you can remember and see the changes, when you can't really notice them every day along the way!

    Also very important to take your measurements, so you can see how many inches you are losing, even if the pounds slow down!

    My sleeve is AMAZING!!!

    How everyone else is doing great, too!

    And yes Joanne... My entire life iIve heard the "you are so beautiful, you have such a pretty face, etc..." I was even a plus size model back in my early twenties.. Thank GOD I am tall.. My weight is pretty much spread out evenly and when I told folks how much I weighed they were shocked. Some of us just carry our weight well.. Still no excuse to be 330 lbs but I've always been proud of myself, have pretty high self esteem, etc... .. always fought the fight and usually won but now that I have gotten older I've picked up some more weight and I just need to get it under control. I don't have any other health issues so I am hoping that I can bounce back quick from the surgery. I'm a little fearful about losing too much.. Being bigger is all that I've ever known so I hope I don't develop identity issues... My best friend had lap band about 2 years ago and I have a pretty good support system... SO... I am anxious to get the party started!!!! LOL

    Best of luck to us all!!!
    Sorry same height and weight as you!!

    I agree with Diane!! She and I started our journeys together and we have totally ROCKED our sleeves!!!!! So much has changed over this last year... I am still in disbelief when I look at my "before" photo... You two are making the absolute best decisions!! Enjoy the journey and know that you will always have support from us on the forum!!

    Best of Luck!! Keep us posted on your progress!!!!
