176 Pound Loss Possible?? Oh How I Pray It Is!

Hello Everyone!. So i have a question. I was banded on October 25th. My start weight was 356 pounds. Today i am down to 292 pounds. I work out 4+ day a week religiously with a minimum of 1.5 miles a day of walking and have not faltered once when it comes to my doctors orders. I am following this to a T. And to be totally honest, its not hard any longer. My question is, can I realistically get down to 180 pounds? My goal was 210-220. However, last Wed, My grandfather came to me and said, "son, you get down to 180 pounds and I will write you a $5000.00 dollar check". Now as if a healthy life wasn't enough incentive, My grandfather goes and throws this on top! I am losing 1.5-2 pounds every 2-3 days, I have hit one pretty serious plateau around 303 pounds but adjusted my workout plan and changed my diet a little and boom! Blasted through it no problem. So, what do you guys think? Is a total of 176 pounds lost realistic?

Heres to another 112 pounds!

Thanks for all your thoughts.
