I am approaching a 100lb weight loss. My ultimate goal is 185lbs and I am right at 218 now that is down from 303 ore band. My all time top weight is 317lbs. So I was wondering should you celebrate a 100lb weight loss and what have others done if you do or should you weight till you reach your goal ? Thanks Chuck

I definetely celebrated at 100 lbs...the feeling of accomplishment is phenominal and of course you want to scream out "Look at what I have done for myself"!! It took me a few days for the number on the scale to sink into my brain that yes indeed I had lost that much. WAY TO GO!!! CELEBRATE...you deserve it!! :biggrin:

I say celebrate most definitely! 100lbs lost is great. Congrats!!

I'm not sure what you mean by celebrate but if you mean with chocolate cake and ice cream, it is never a good time. :drool:

I celebrate every morning that I wake up feeling great. I am reminded every single day of how much fun it wasn't, when I would strain myself and be out of breath just tying my shoes.

That being said, celebrate now, tomorrow and when you do hit 100 pounds lost.

Congrats!!!

Hello 100 pound banders--

I've got over 100 pounds to lose..I was wondering what fill level you are all at..what amount hit the spot where you really felt a good loss? Thanks!:wink2:

My band is at 5cc's...the most was 5.9cc's. Everyone is different though, and feels restriction at different levels.

I hit 80 pounds lost today. 3 pounds to go until I'm in onederland (hopefully before the new year!), and then hoping to be joining you all in the "100 pounds lost" club, shortly thereafter!

(in addition to losing weight, I also love bananas lol)

Congrats, Chuck. My own son will start his journey in January, after he changes insurances. He is at about what you started at. I know that he would definitely celebrate 100 lbs lost. So yes, celebrate, but not with food! 100 lbs got me to goal. And I was and am happy, too! Karen (kll724)

PS: you look great!

I have 24 more pounds to go before I have lost 100! I cant wait!

I now realize that I celebrated my first 100 by joining a gym. I didn't think about it at the time, but the two coincide.
