I am so excited to report that since my surgery on Oct. 29, 2009, I have lost 102 lbs! I have 77 lbs to go to reach my goal of 170lbs, but it feels so much more within reach to have to lose 77 lbs than to have to lose 180 lbs. So far, my keys to success have been eating healthy foods for the purpose of fueling my body and exercising in enjoyable ways like Zumba. Our brains like to be on autopilot and stick to habits. I have become an interruption to my brain's habits and I am developing new, healthy ones. I feel wonderful and I am looking forward to posting again when I hit my goal. Good Luck to all other bandsters and stay strong and in control!!!

That is truly amazing! How wonderful! Keep up the good work. ^5

thanks for posting this - my lap band was over a year ago and I lost weight and then have sort of fallen back in to some bad habits - poor food choices and lack of exercise - my band has kept me from gaining weight (just a few pounds from my low) but the problem is I need to lose another 50 pounds - You inspire me to try harder.

thanks

I had second thoughts about correcting your math but figured it was for the better.

You are only 67 pounds from 180!

Awesome! Congratulations!

My doctor told me yesterday it would be possible that I might only lose 60 pounds. This gives me hope that I will lose all the weight I need too. Congratulations
