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 )

Nancy, no dancing yet, but soon, very soon. It seems I have mastered maintenence. Could someone please send a memo to my arse that I have 60 more pounds to go???

I have been upping the workouts, rethinking eating, getting back to band basics, and I feel great...but the pounds won't budge. Sigh.

Also some major personal stress (see Jan07 Bandsters posts) has played havoc with my band...more than I though possible. I just gotta remember that IN THE LONG RUN, over time...ALL GOOD BEHAVIOR will be rewarded.

Sorry, I sound delusional now...LOL!

Cindy.... I feel your pain.... I'm reassessing my diet and exercise now that I read all about Whosya's daily life. I feel like a slacker. lol

Look at it today....Animal Crackers...Blueberry muffin

bad bad bad

I wanted to share this with everyone on here but I'm surprised y'all didn't hear me yelling when I stepped on the scale at our health clinic this morning for my weekly weigh-in no matter where you live. I weighed 198.4 pounds!!!!!!! I can't believe it but lordy I'm happy! I've done through the 400s, then the 300s and now I've conquered the 200s. Look out 100s, as I've only got 28.4 pounds to go to reach my dream weight. When I started this amazing journey, I sometimes wondered if I'd be successful but I have been and right now I'm bout to bust a button and thank goodness it's from pride now and not because my clothes are too tight! Thank you all for being here so I can share my experiences with you especially one that thrills me beyond belief!

WOW BECKY!!!

You Go!!!!

So good to hear that as a guy thats been though the 4's and im working on the 3's. It seems such a long way to go to hit the 1's but when i read post like yours it is a big boost!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much. You'll be through your 300s and 200s before you know it. My starting weight was more than your's so don't ever think you won't do it cause you most definitely will. Onto another thing....I see you're from Green Bay so I'm betting you're a Packers fan so Go Packers! I'm a huge Cowboys fan, no pun intended, and if the Boys don't make it to the Super Bowl, I sure would love to see the Packers go. But then if we both win this weekend, then I'll of course have to back my Boys! Thanks again for your kind words.

O im an Eagles Fan. My company moved me up here a couple of years ago. But still thanks for the kind words and surrport.

As of this AM i have lost 149 pounds! Thrilled beyond words!

I'm 3 lbs away! And 3 days away from my 1 year anniversary.

I love my band.

It's been a while since my last post, but I just saw this one about the 100's loss and I felt great at the fact that I am one of those. I hit my 100 lb. loss right around Christmas time. I have to say it did feel great. I have been idling here for around 3 weeks though. No loss and no gain since then...but I didn't eat too healthy during the holidays either. lol

But, congratulations everyone!! Keep it going for the new year!!

P.S. Oh yeah, Seahawks are going to win this weekend. I just had to add that in, couldn't resist. Good luck everybody!!!

100 lbs from surgery!

145 from 3/06!

woo!

I keep changing my goal weight- Less than 30 lbs would put me at a "normal" weight for my height- don't know if that should be goal or the number I have- its in the middle of my weight range for my height and a number I've always wanted to see. Hmmm.

either way - wooooooo! Je t'aime my band!

I want on the list

down 102 lbs

Thanks for compiling the list

Geez, I'm so close...... Gimme a couple of weeks and I hope to be able to be added to this list!

You guys are doing awesome! Keep up the great work!
