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 )

Hey all! Always looked forward to the day I could post in this thread :thumbup:

As of this morning, I am just barely over 10mos. out of surgery, and 100lbs. down! While I do have a quite a bit to go before reaching my long-term goal, having lost this 100lbs. makes the rest of the journey seem much more achievable!

Fabulous loss!!!!! Congratulations!:thumbup:

I can finally post here!!! 17 1/2 months after I underwent my journey I am proud to say that I've lost 100 lbs!!!! Yay! Go me!!! I am so proud of myself.

I've lost a total of 140 pounds, but not all from lap band. I really need to get a pic up!

I did it!

With all the stress of my wedding hitting right as i lost 100 lbs... I forgot one of my goals was to post in this thread!

I lost 100 lbs about 8 and a half months from having surgery... that left me 8 lbs to go to get to my goal of 135. My 9 months and 1 week I was at goal.

I am now 11 months from surgery and had made the decision i would like to be 130 ish so that way i wouldnt go over my goal with water weight in a day(so strange how my mind works now! )

Well I can honestly say i am down 111 lbs.. as of right now and holding....

Seriously 111 lbs.... I still cant get my mind around the whole thing- I am amazed constantly on clothes that fit... and the sizes-- I was so used to and embarrased to be in the fitting room and say- ummm these 18's or 20's dont fit- i need a larger size.... so i would just leave.. NOW-- i am like.. wow, these 6's are a little big- do you think i would fit in the 4's.... seriously what a change...

I know there have been so many successful people with the lapband- and I just want to say I am proud of each and every one of you....

Congrats on taking back your life and your health!

I have lost 100 as of today!

I am so excited! I know I still have 86 to go, but 100 is a major feat in a little over 7 months.

I am really enjoying how much easier life is, in general. I looked at my before shot and I cried. I wanted to hug that girl. All the hills she was afraid to walk up, the panic that she might not get enough food to feel full. :) :scared2:

My body is so much easier to get around. I am able to enjoy just about any outdoor activity now. We are going on a hiking/camping/rafting trip tomorrow!

Walking up hills is such a change. I panic before I start a hill because I forget that it isn't going to be like it used to. Then I am at the top thinking, wow, I didn't even notice while I was ascending.

100 down:

as of july 26,2010 i have lost a total of 129lbs.

That is great! Congratulations!

So glad to say it's my turn to post here!

8 months + 1 week after surgery, and I am down 100.2 lbs! Now, it might have taken a little stomach virus to get me here, but I'll take it any way I can get it. :rolleyes2:

Congrats to all the losers here - so proud to be a member of the century club!

Love this thread...

When I was first banded and saw it i figured it was way out of range and would never happen for me.. but now at 85 lbs gone.. i can be added to this list in a mere 15 lbs!!! A goal that is so right there i can almost touch it.. and my final goal is only 47lb away.... I am in a state where i can not beleive that i have made it this far -- and that i am continuing to inch to my goal....

Congratulations to all you losers! It's quite a milestone to reach.

All I can say is...keep with it! I was there, and now I'm starting over again...have to get back to over 100 lost...I gained a bunch back again because I quit following the rules and went back to old eating habits (cookies and ice cream, and other bad foods, often go down easier than protein! Junk food is poison!

Never give up! Keep at it!

Yes, Lizalee, it is so very easy to fall back into old eating habits. Ice cream and potato chips go down VERY easily!! I am still over the 100 pounds gone markm but have regained about 12 poubds......I am NOT happy with myself. I have got to get back in "the zone" of following the rules and taking care of myself. Continued success to all....=))

me me me yayyyyyyy

Congrats! And doesn't it feel good!! You've stuck with it too...after 2 years! You give me hope I can get back into loosing mode again and get back to at least where I was a year after banding! Enjoy it and never go back!
