Well, it's taken 2 months since hitting the 30 pound weight loss mark, but I have FINALLY gotten to 40 pounds lost! 40.5 to be exact as of this morning! Yippee!!!!! If I knew how to do a back-flip I think I would be doing one right now. I decided that I was going to call it official today. Darn it, I'm not waiting until Friday for my official weekly weigh-in day, because I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS 40 POUNDS OFF FOR GOOD! Do you hear me world???
I realized that this is now officially more than I've ever lost before. Ever. My best on Weight Watchers (taking a full year to get there) was in the 38 pound area. Not bad in and of itself, but I just couldn't keep it off. There have certainly been a few bumps in the road on this band-journey, but I can't tell you how happy I am that I did this for myself and for my family. Just knowing that I'm getting healthier each day is worth it. Yes, the last two months have been challenging, wondering why the weight loss wasn't more. But I knew it was there and would come. And it proved me right. I'd rather have 10 pounds take 2 months and never come back. I woke up this AM, and was feeling VERY unmotivated, but then I stepped on the scale, and BOOM - seeing that number, all of the sudden I wanted to go to Curves, wanted to get all my protein in ... felt like I was worth it! Here's a picture of me below... I still hide myself from full-length pictures, but for what it is worth, here is this morning's shot!
Band, I love you! I need to find a name for you like Amy has... Hmmmm... any naming suggestions???

Bye bye forever, forty! That is so fantastic!! :) :) And, you look great!
Thanks Amy... At first I thought "Band-Aid" but that sounded cheezy... I'll come up with something!
Hi Sarah, Congratulations to getting to 40lbs....a great milestone. I got your comment regarding disney, but it is no longer there? Anyway, I can be contacted on ranismith@hotmail.com and would love to hear more about the types of restaurants/foods that you chose...I am looking at the dining plan but confused as to what I should do and where I should go!
I am being dumb! I did have your comment, just looking in the wrong place!
