Hello 2011

This is officially my first blog post.  I created this blog as a method to chronicle my journey with the lap band.  After reading some amazing blogs I have been inspired to actually do this and not let it fall to the wayside. 

At any rate, I was banded on November 16, 2010 in Austin, TX by Dr. Alex Esquivel.  My starting weight was 311.6 lbs.  As of today, January 1, 2011 I have lost a total of 20 lbs.  I am extremely proud of this accomplishment.

As the new year begins I have devised a plan to help jump start my weight loss.  I can't promise that I will exercise 5 days a week like I have heard some people say.  It's not going to happen.  However, I have decide that I will participate in an organized exercise class at least 3 days a week.  My favorite is called Sexy Sweat!!  I just love the name. 

I look forward to blogging my way through change.  I plan on using this blog to encourage myself and maybe someone else who is struggling to make a change.
