It's still me!

So, it has been a while since I've posted.  I found my phone app to be less than helpful in getting posts up.  I'll keep working on it.
At the gym the other day one of the trainers commented that she had to do a double take because she wasn't sure it was me.  Then, the following day another trainer commented that I'm a whole new person.
Yup,  I am.
I've lost 75lbs since December.  It feels amazing.  I've increased my strength as well.  I'm down to a size 16 (sometimes an 18, depending on the makers) from a size 24.  It is really UN-REAL.
I owe my life to my lap band.  I love my band.
It's not always easy.  There are days where I just can't eat anything and I survive on protein drinks alone to avoid starvation.  Still, with all of the bad days I would do it again.  I'm healthier and happier and my children are 100 percent following my lead.
Just for fun:
