I officially hit the 100 lb mark today. It is hard to wrap my brain around that number. If anyone had told me that I would be able to lose 100 pounds, I would never have believed them. Thank you, my lap band. You saved my live.

Congratulations!!

What did you do to lose so much? Was it just diet and exercise? Can you give us who are still new at this some advise on how to increase our loses...

Congratulations to you!!!

I've lost what I think is quit a bit in not that much time (77 pounds and banded 7/29/10, 20 weeks out). I can tell you for me exercise is a MUST. No bones about it, I exercise like my ass is on fire and I have to to keep up this pace of weight loss. I run or get on the TreadClimber 6 days a week (3 days on, 1 day off).

I've also cut out a lot of white in my diet, no breads, no Pasta, very low on the carbs and super high on the Protein.

I do feel way better for it, that is for sure!

Thanks for all of the kudos. I was banded on May 5th of 2009 so it took me about 19 months to lose the 100lbs. Not as fast as some, but pretty slow and steady. I think the difference for me was the exercise and remembering that the band is just a tool. Don't expect it to do all the work. It was about 20% band and 80% me. There are so many ways to get around the band, and it doesn't take long to figure that out. Once you go down that road, the band becomes useless.

That being said, it is the first time in my life that I actually felt like I had what I needed to be successful in losing weight. I could never have done this without my band.

I had actually 100 lbs to lose and Im down 60!...only 40 to go..so when I hit that mark it will be a double celebrations for me!

congratulations!....may I ask how long it has taken you to get to this amazing number???
