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 )

Congrats to all the big losers here, great job !

I am 2lbs away from becoming a 200lbs loss member maybe we need a thread for 200lbs loss club !

Cazzy! We should do a thread for people who have lost over 200!

I have lost 278lbs since my highest and 228 since the LapBand was placed! I plan to lose 300 lbs since the band and 350 from my highest. I used to wear a 6xl and now I wear a Large. I've had plastics done - and I am in better physical condition today than I was in my 20's! I love my LapBand!

To date, Feb 29, 2012, I've lost 127 pounds.

I've got 14 pounds more to lose till I reach the goal that was set by my wight loss center... (I'd like to lose more.)

I had my surgery feb 2008 I have loss a total of 210Lbs so far. I am only 35Lbs from goal.

118lbs

118lbs

I am fairly new to the site, I was banded 5/14/2008 and I have lost 220 lbs 10 more to go and feel great yes it is possible with determination. I have never had a gain nor do I intend to the band is a tool it is not a cure all and if you have the mind set that you want to lose and keep it off and be healthy you will get there..good luck to everyone in achieving your weight loss goals.
