With your stomach bug, you are probably going to skip right past 100 too and go straight to 101 or something. But seriously I hope you are feelin better soon! No fun being sick.

I am just tickled pink. Today 3 June Bugs reached 101, 100, and 99 lbs lost!! Iteachurkid, myself and AllieMorris, in that order, hit these milestones today!! I am just amazed at how much this little tool has changed my life. No make that, given me my life back!! For me my next milestone will be to lose 6 more which will put me in Onederland at 199. Then we'll see about goal!! YAHOO!!

Thanks, Love, now I am trying to come up with a new goal. I know there's no specific St. patricks day one or something, but would like to lose 6 by then to be in Onederland! So it will be my personal goal until there is a new challenge posted after this one ends.

Hit a major milestone this morning, 100 lbs lost! 36 more to go to reach my ultimate goal!

Yep, Katy, hubby celebrated with me this morning. I hit the 100 lbs mark and he got up and hugged me and told me how proud is was of me. Then promptly went back to bed as it was 430am and he doesn't have to get up as early as me. I am just thrilled to have reached that. When I got banded I thought I'd be the one it didn't work for or something. Instead the Lord has blessed me with just the opposite, I've had amazing success and a smooth journey thus far. Now I have visions of actually reaching my goal weight. Only 36 to go!

Yes, Janet, that was me you heard screaming this morning about 430am. I HIT 100 LBS LOST TODAY!!!!!! I can't believe it. When I had this done, I was hopeful but not sure I really believed I could do it. I started at 305 and am at 205 now, so you know my next milestone is to get a 1 in front of my weight. Now I actually have visions of actually reaching goal! Whodda thunk it? Well I know you did, Janet, you have faith and belief in everyone of us and that means so much. I just want to thank you for the support and help you have given me since the day you started this very thread. I think I posted on it that very day. Oh and yes, I would've loved to have been shopping with you at Ann Taylor and Loft outlets! BTW, anything ever come of the plans to try and meet in Vegas in April??

Today, I woke up and stepped on the scale I reached my goaaaaaaal!!! Me too!! Reached my Valentines day goal and more importantly reached 100 lbs lost!! :thumbup: NAME------------------------START----------------CURRENT---------------GOAL--------------TO GO 1000words..........220............210............210...........0 annjones...........277............264............267...........3 AuntieGG...........286............278............270...........8 BandedCG...........273............236.5..........220........16.5 Bandana............165............165............160...........5 Barb12590..........185............180............175...........5 Bea1128............190.5..........189............180...........9 Bonnielass.........168............164............159...........5 Brandy.............198............194............190...........4 Bunkey.............165............165............160...........5 Charlietuna........163............160............150..........10 crzytchr...........250............243............240...........3 CubsGirl...........150............143............140...........3 Cutiew/booty.......224............217............212...........5 Fordgal88..........274............208............198..........10 Imgoingdown........239............199............189..........10 janesays...........230............222.4..........215.........7.4 Jodi_620...........160............154............148...........6 karebare714........283............272............265...........7 kikival315.........219.5..........215............210...........5 LauraP.............170............170............155..........15 lcwils01...........227............225............213..........12 Leslie2lose........229............223............219...........4 LilMissDiva........253............242.4..........239.........3.4 LisaLef............270............238............235...........5 littlefroggy.......211............205............195..........10 Long2BThin.........216............205............205...........0 Loveislovely.......223............208............208...........0 ltgordon...........264............262............250..........12 Mair...............231............225............220...........5 Mamanmidwife.......264............258............250...........8 misskitty84........313............263............243..........20 mominlv13..........270.2..........265.8..........260.........5.8 SanDiegoPhotog.....263............191............179..........12 Sistergrl25........359............289............264..........25 skyjoe.............322.4..........312.2..........289.4......22.8 Tabithan...........246............238............236...........2 Terilynn112........224............224............200..........24 Tuger..............192............192............185...........7 twinmommie.........207............198............193...........9 wowox7.............173............165............163...........2

I hit 100 lbs lost this morning!!!!

Thanks for the congrats!! I just got home from work and this is the first place I came. Allie you will hit it tomorrow I bet if you have a stomach bug. You'll probably be like Teach and blow right past 100 and get 101 or something. Teach, so 100 wasn't good enough huh? Had to go and get 101??? :thumbup: Good job, congrats! Hey maybe you could give that extra pound to Allie?? My day looks like this: Breakfast - used to be every day 1/4 egg beaters, a smidge of cheese, and 2 slices precooked bacon. However, since my, ummm fiber/constipation problems, my breakfast is now kashi go lean cereal (13 gm protein and 10 gm fiber) I do a 1/2 cup those numbers are for 1 cup I think. That's at 5am. When I get home from work I have 2 sl. precooked bacon. Lunch - usually chicken of some sort and once a week that is in the form of chicken mcnuggets, my weakness at McD's. Dinner - meat of some type and some veggie, rarely but if still hungry on occassion I'll have a tad of rice or potato. Snacks - usually one about 100 calories of some snack food. My portions are always about 1/2 cup to 1 cup and get in my water. I have great restriction and need to chew chew chew my small bites. I also workout now 6 days a week but that just recently upped to that was about 3 or 4 days. Hope that helps.

I DID IT!!! I HIT 100 LBS THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am running late for work, but had to pop in and post that!!

Lynn, I eat about 1/2 cup meals, protein first always, about 5 times a day. Sometimes only 3 or 4 times. I exercise to Tony Hortons Power 90 DVD's 6 days a week, they are about 30 min each. Well Teach & Allie, will tomorrow be the day??? How exciting to be at this milestone at the same time. My surgeon told me the same thing about a bypass patient's loss vs my loss at my last appt. and he does both surgeries. I was thrilled. But I do also have that intense fear of failing. It's getting better as I have now lost more weight than I have ever in the past, but it's almost that 'too good to be true' feeling. I don't have an accurate picture in my head of what I look like either. Sometimes I see myself still at 305 but then others I start to believe I really do look thinner and then I see my reflection in the mirror and think who am I kidding? doesn't help that the room I do my workout at the rec center is lined with a wall of mirrors. Here's to tomorrow!!!! Will it be the day????? I am back to weighing daily as I want to see that 100 lb mark so bad.

1/2 lb more, only 1/2 to go!

Thanks for all the kudos and well wishes on hitting my 100 lb mark. Alas, today was not the day, I got 99 1/2!! GRRRR Hubby tells me to round up! But I want to see it on the scale official. It will hit anyday. I'm on the scale every day right now anxious to hit it. Funny, hubby even got up with me at 4am to see if I made it. He's been my biggest supporter. He even goes to my support group meetings with me. And he did my Power 90 workout with me on Sat. and I think he was shocked at how tough it really was and was proud of how much I could do.

99 1/2 today, will it be tomorrow???? Yikes, it's driving me crazy. DH even got up with me this morning to see if I hit it. I have some cruise shopping to do. He promised me a few years ago if I ever lost 100 lbs (one of the times I was crying to him about my weight) he'd go on a Medditerranean cruise or somewhere else in Europe I wanted to go. And from what I read in the paper on Sunday, cruise prices are way down, so I hope I find a bargain! My workouts are going great, I am really liking this video series and the fact my friend is as committed to it as I am helps. It's more fun to go with someone. This same friend has another friend who just had lap band surgery by my surgeon. She asked if I would go to dinner with her and her friend one night as her friend wanted to meet me and hear about my experience. Heck yes! I'll go! So she is setting that up. Big snowstorm here today and while I was out and about my windshield wipers broke. It's almost white out conditions and I couldnt' see a thing. I tried calling DH but knew he'd be a long ways away and/or Triple A but didn't want to sit on the side of the icy roads either like a lame duck. So I slowly made it home. Scariest situation I have driven in a long time. I do wnat to get out to go to the rec center for my workout this afternoon so hopefully it lets up and I don't need wipers. It's less than a mile from my house on side roads so should be okay. My windshield is defrosting in the garage.

Congrats Allie on the 4 lbs!! Maybe you, I and Teach will all hit 100 on the same day. Alas, I did not hit it today, I hit 99.5 instead. So I lost 3.5 this week. But the previous 2 weeks I only lost 1.

I'm 1/2 lb away from 100 lbs lost!!

99 lbs this morning!!!!!! Will I hit 100 tomorrow?? Yes I am weighing daily right now so anxious to hit it.

Tried that but when I go to edit signature there are no spaces there, if I delete a line anyway it totally erases my weights. And I measured my signature and your's and mine is way smaller than your's so I don't get it. I've seen many bigger than mine. Oh well I guess I will have to live with what I got!

On a related note I tried to add another ticker for this challenge or just another line of text for it and it won't let me, it says my signature is too big or too many lines, yet I see many bigger than mine. What's up with that???

Hey Teach I hit 99 this morning too, maybe we will hit 100 tomorrow! Wouldnt' that be great? I'm back to weighing daily as I want to hit it so bad. I don't have the patience to wait a week to see if I hit it. It's kindda like when I hit it I don't want to miss it. LOL How strange is that. Next major goal is Onderland too! I wasn't thinking surgery last year at this time either. It wasn't until April that I started researching it. Wintery snow mix here too, just flurries so far, but cold! We were 72 only 2 days ago!

I am at 99 lbs lost now!! Come on 100!!!! It was actually 99.2, so less than a pound to go. You'll hear me shout from here when I reach it! This place has been quiet this weekend. Hope everyone is just out and enjoying their new banded lifestyles. Wonder if Janet is a big winner in Vegas yet? Lucky, sorry to hear about the port flipping. I have no experience or knowledge about it though. Sounds like you have a good attitude about it though. Will it mean another surgery?

Down 2 more, only one to go!!! I am at 99 lbs lost!

I did not like Lisa R at all, she was acted like she was too good for everyone else. They came to the store or lobby sometimes for meet and greets and she acted like we were beneath her. Rick D. and Jayne Brown were my favorites. Very genuine. On gold rush days and silver days we would have special events and the store and lobby would be made over with products for the shows, and from 8pm to midnight the night before you could come in and preview, try on and even buy the items in person. It was a lot of fun. I do't do yellow gold and like silver best and some white gold. My favorite is the Indonesian Silver. Well gang, I hit 99 lbs today!! Acutally 99.2 so close, I hope I hit it tomorrow and that my body doesn't decide to take a rest here. It can rest at 101!! LOL But not for long as Onderland is a few pounds from that.

Good evening!! I hit 98 lbs today!! It's getting so close! must be those workouts! I could actually do almost a full push up in the full push up position today (not on my knees) Iwas excited. Addy, hope you are feeling better soon! Lucy, glad you are better. The workouts I got are Power 90 by the same guy but not as extreme as P90X though I do have a copy of those DVD's just in case I feel I can do them after the 90 days of Power 90. When I worked at QVC, I worked in the audience at all the Quacker shows. I booked the shows, checked the audience in, worked the audience by giving out the phones if they wanted to order, also Jeanne always had treats for them and had to pass those out too. It was a lot of fun. My weakness is Coach bags but I did see that Maxx bag and kindda liked it. Allie, You sound like me and the scale. I let it rule my day. If it's down it's like 'screw it' I might as well eat ______. I still weigh daily though but have had a better frame of mind about it, but do get frustrated when it doesn't move for over a week or more. It's back to moving good this week though. Good luck with your WI on Monday!

We will Celebrate our 30th anniversary in April! That's when I get up about 420, got to bed late myself and it will be late tonight too. Nap is sounding heavenly right now. I need a minimum of 7 hrs sleep I have discovered or I feel it, and I prefer 8. :thumbup::laugh:
