Icon   ValleyGirl is confident I will make my goal of 156 pounds this summer!

About Me

I was banded at OCC December 2008. Having failed at so many other weight-loss attempts in the past, I was pretty sure this would fail too. Despite my lack of faith and with very little support at home, I've managed to lose almost 90 pounds!!!
I am finally starting to feel like the outside of me matches the inside!

    Congrats!! I am so happy for you! After reading you post regarding the vacat from hell I feel like this is truely your happy ending. Just 10 pounds from goal?!?! What a way to bounce back! You are awesome. In the face of adversity too! I could not have bounced back like you did, my self esteem would have been hit too hard. You are like Wonder Woman. But I saw that in...

    Hi Sabrina! Your before weight sounds like my mom. She is having this done on Spring Break in March 2010. She is wondering when you were able to eat breakfast (after the 21 days)..kind of what did you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Did you keep a journal?? You look great!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

    I'm getting banded on the 28th. Your success gives me hope, as I also have kind of given up believing I can be saved from this crazy fatsuit I'm wearing. I feel like I just woke up one day to find that 90lbs had jumped me in my sleep!
