I can officially be added to this list my surgen confirmed the 100 pound loss according to their records on Monday!

Sorry....gotta disagree on this...you should see the "crap food" I've eaten then past year...I just eat much less and I exercise quite a bit

100 pounds in a year starting at 260...not bad if I say so myself

I wasn't quite as big as you but statred at 260...lost 100 pounds in a little over a year. NO loose skin..none...arms and legs are flabby and need toning but no loose skin. I'm 30 years old and 5'5"

So as of this morning I have lost 100 pounds! According to MFP anyways. When I started my journey I promised myself that when I lost 100 pounds I would dig out my old photos and finally look at them. I did this today and I have to say all I did was cry...how could I have ever let myself get so big? I looked awful. None the less I had to look at the pictures to remind myself why I had surgery and why I can NEVER go back. So am I the only one who weeps at old photos of themselves or am I not alone. Thanks for reading...I just had to get my feelings out to folks who would understand...as my.family really doesnt

Nice!!! Congrats Dawn!

Thanks guys! The worst part is when I was that big I still thought I looked ok. I can see now that the weight was not flattering at all lol. I just wanna say that I LOVE this site. It has been great motivation over the last year to be able to keep going! You guys are all a wonderful support system!

I'm to lazy to get a new photo so I commend you for that! Great job on the weight loss! Congrats

Hi all! My one year band anniversary was yesterday and I am very close to being 100 pounds down! I still wanna lose another 20 or so but I thought I would share my photo from yesterday with all of you! I am very happy with the results of the band and I have no regrets what so ever! My before pic is my profile pic.

I too am a food addict. I know exactly what you're going through. I used to tell my ex husband that I was going to start eating better and I would drive through mcdonalds and get two cheeseburgers and eat them all...of course I would ditch the evidence before I got home. Lol...I can honestly say the lap band has changed my life in soo many ways. First thing is I don't get hungry in between meals like I used to. I used to snack all day long and then eat my regular meal at the alloted times. 2nd and most important I have learned will power...I don't know how but someway the band changed me and my whole way of thinking. Now I can sit down with chips or something and instead of the whole bag I have learned to eat just one serving size. Also I don't feel the need to eat these things on a daily basis anymore. The band is a wonderful tool and no it won't stop you from eating the whole bag of Cookies or chips you have to want and be willing to learn these things. However it is a wonderful tool if you eat better. It will help you eat smaller portions of healthier foods and it will keep you feeling full for hours at a time

Oh jeez.. I still eat tons of pizza... Well it feels like tons but it's really very little.. But I have it often and if I count my calories it allowable- for me, that is.
