Hi Everyone-

It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds.

Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band!

This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!

121 Members of the LBT 100 Pound Club and Growing!!!

(or I should say shrinking )

I've lost 107 pounds.

On the day of surgery, my weight was 255 lbs. That was on 9/19/05, and now 5/22/07, I am down 101 lbs. It feels sooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooood to see 100 lbs off. Last time I weighed this was probably in middle school.

CONGRATS to everyone..I have lost 109.5 lbs

I have lost 105 lbs. need to update my ticker.

Wow, this is awesome. What accomplishments! Congrats to all that have made this list. I sure hope to some day.

I have a question for all you ladies you have lost over 100lbs. How long did it actually take to loose this amount. I have only lost about 37 lbs since august 2006. what am I doing so wrong.....

Can those of you that have lost all of this weight give those of us who haven't some pointers on what you did and what you ate?

I have a question for all you ladies you have lost over 100lbs. How long did it actually take to loose this amount. I have only lost about 37 lbs since august 2006. what am I doing so wrong.....

I've been pondering this a while think it has a lot to do how big you are to start with and also...I think some of it is just dumb luck.

I eat chocolate and fast food on a semi-regular basis. I'm not proud of it...I'm just saying that I my success hasn't come from being the ideal patient.

But if you only have 100 pounds to lose, you're not going to lose as fast as someone with 300 pounds to lose. It works that way on any diet.

Can you tell me what your average calorie intake is/was daily? I a only a 2 month bander and need all the motivation and support, ideas to keep it going at a steady pace. The scale has not moved in almost 2 weeks and it is so frustrating when I have almost 100# to lose. Any ideas welcome.

I'm finally here!! I reached the 100 pound mark this morning!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

I have lost 110 pounds! Yeah!!!!

this is inspiring! what a great idea for a thread. Its great to read about other real live people who have dropped a hundred.

Ive lost 55 so far, and i still have 125 to go. I am hopeful.

I was banded 02-03-03, I lost 140# I gained some back but am now back to a loss of 120# I would like to lose 50-70 more.

Tricia, you look great!!!

My preop weight was 310.5 pound my highest weight was 378 pounds.

I now weight 210! It can be done! My year anniversary for surgery is July 24, 2007. I would like to get below 200 pounds by then.
