Hey all was just curious as to see how long it took some of u to lose between 90 and 100 lbs? How does it feel? How many dress sizes did you drop etc? Any tips on motivation would also be greatly appreciated as I am at the beginning of my long journey! Thanks In Advance

I'll let you know 46 more to go for 90 lbs off.lol I got the band in Aug and down 44 lbs and when I don't want to go to the gym I sit down and look at my legs and stomach and cant believe what I have already done. I have to smile get my shoes on and off I go. I always feel emotionaly better when I go to the gym and I just do weights right now. You have to talk back to your brain when it tells you something shouldn't do like "just have one cookie" then say out loud "you know you wont stop at one" stuff like that. good luck and it is so much easier with the band and the fills amount in it..you just wont believe it...this time IS really different.

Wow! What an achievement! U should be very very proud of yourself! I have decided to take a new approach to eating and exercise and make small baby step changes. Usually I go hell for leather with everything and to date that approach hasn't been boding well for me!! Thank you for the words of encouragement and the reminder to knock the devil off my shoulder reminding me cut out the bad stuff!! Best of luck for you too x

I've lost 175 pounds over the last year.

I lost 100 in the first 6 months, which resulted in dropping about 6 sizes.

It feels amazing, I'm not sure I can even put in words. I never thought I'd feel this good.

U r my hero! Congrats on all of your hard work and may your journey continue on a positive beat!

I'm on my second tour with a new lap band - getting a replacement on Feb 4. I lost 96 lbs eight years ago in about 8 months. It was RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. Every DAY I would weigh myself and be down 0.5 lbs or something, and every week I was losing 2-3 lbs steadily.

I had to keep buying clothes, but it was funny how I would go pick up 18's and realize I was a 12 by the end. I had a big problem looking at the waistline of 12's and realizing I fit in them, and needed belts. I never wore belts. I never tucked anything in...it was surreal.

Lee, thank you for posting! I watched your video and shared it on Facebook Thanks especially for the thought regarding "if you don't replace what food does for you..." - It is absolutely true.
