-100lbs WOW!!! Thats is awesome!!! :banana :banana :banana

Hee hee! Thanks, Vera! I know, it's kind of amazing when I think about it. Back two years ago, when my second child was weaning and I realized my weight had stabilized at 340 lbs I knew my life had to change in a big way. Losing 100 lbs and keeping it off seemed like a faraway, distant dream.

Now that dream has come and is coming true, thanks to a little piece of silicone. I. Love. My. Band.

Alexandra,

Congratulations!! It is great to see that people are having great success stories! Please keep us posted on your continued progress!

Thank you, everyone, for the kudos! How cool that one of these threads has my name on it.

Lisa, yeah, I was stalled in the 260 range for a looooong time. I got just below 250 back in September/October and stayed there for a while during my unfilled period. ON December 23rd I weighed in at 246 and that's the day I got a fill. Then I got sick. The combination of the two made 9-10 lbs disappear seemingly overnight.

Michelle, I didn't make a lot of noise about it because, well, I kind of feel that it doesn't really matter at this point. But I am pretty chuffed, I admit. Milestones are great indeed but from my slow progress and bounces I don't really count them until they're well behind me. The next one I've been looking forward to is 230, which is the very lowest weight I've ever hit since I was about 23. (I got there with Optifast back in 1990, and stayed there for a whole week or so.)

So when I get to 230 and feel that it's here to stay, that will be the one I'll want to make noise about. 100 lbs from my high point says more about the high point to me then where I am now. And where I am now is buying some sweaters in a size 14. (Lisa, what IS it with those Avenue sizes?!?)
