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!

(or I should say shrinking )

Dab, 100 in 3 month is awesome. And they say when you have that much to lose you should to RYN. You are proof the band works. Good for you and good luck to the other 200 lbs!

Thanks Julie -

This has been a good journey to this point. There was an adjustment period and I still have my moments of forgeting that I am the "new" me and chew too fast or eat too big of bite or eat too fast and get reminded quickly how bad that can be, but for the most part, it is old hat now and I don't feel like it is work at all.

The staff was pretty amazed at the weight loss total as well in that time - but I am sure it will slow down.

Happy Holidays to all!

FireDust I will be thinking of you . Be Blessed This has really changed my life and I would do it again in a minute

Suzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is my favourite thread in the whole board and I'm going to be on that list one day... one day SOON!!!

I finally did it! 100.4 pounds Yeahhhh...Fricken took me forever but I gotta remember this isn't a race. Anyways..go me

Esmeralda- had a baby and still loosing- LTD 105pd!!!

I've lost a hundred pounds. I've yo-yo'ed for a 20 years now.

With the band I'm confidant I won't see the 160's ever again! 200's....not even!

Rock on Grace! You are speaking the truth!

I just had my surgery on Dec. 18th (today is the 21st). I have 150 pounds to lose and I have all the faith I will indeed get to my goal weight. I like it when you all say how long it took to lose the weight.

I've done it! I've lost over 100 lbs! I've lost 169 lbs as of today! YEA ME!!!!!

I've lost the equivalent of:

5- Australian Sheppards (the size of my dog)

1- Average size adult

Almost 17- 10lbs bags of potatoes

AND I no longer float in the hot tub!

Judyblue I lost the first 120 in the first year.

just remember to walk as much as you can. It helps. Good luck!

Oh My.. What your words meqan to me. And how they hit home. ALL those things I can not do now and I want so badly to do them. I am 54 and already had heart bypass. That will have been 1 year on the 23 of Feb 07. I am heavier than I have ever been 321. Ballooned up 30 pounds since surgery. Can this banding work for me? I pray my doctor will help me with the decision I have made to have this surgery. Congradualtions to each one of you. I feel your happiness in your words.. God bless each of you

Becky that is fantastic. I have not had it done but looking into it now. I am also 54. I was to afraid to have it done no matter what size I have been. But now... I would rather be dead that feel as I have for the last few years... Congradualations to you Becky

You guys are awsome and an inspiration to us all. I can't wait to officially join this thread. Reading all of your posts and seeing that it is possible is a reminder for me to keep at it and stay on track.

Could someone PLEASE wave their magic wand over my body and scales so I can FINALLY drop these last few pounds and officially join this amazing group of people????

Last few to 100 gone, that is! Then, 60 more!:heh:

Now you listen you last few pounds. You fall off Cindi right now. She has worked hard and wants to be in the 1 hundreds by the first of the year. Jump off her butt right now.

How was that? Let me know if it works.

Cindi those last few pounds will leave soon. When they do let me know! I will do the happy dance with you.
