Anyone else striving to loss 100 lbs by your Bandiversary?

You guys and gals are SO inspiring!!!

I hadn't weighed in a few days and was happy to see a substantial drop this morning.....I immediately changed my ticker!

Heck, I even changed it when I was sick and dehydrated a few weeks ago -- I knew I'd have to change it back, but just couldn't resist! LOL

Fastpitch and Nana, your losses are FAR from small!! I'm at about the same spot as you (74 as of today), and you just need to check around a few other boards to see the people who are in that range after an entire year (or even less loss). You're doing great!

You're right, of course. And I realize that I can't always compare myself to other people because I don't know their height or other contributing factors.

One thing I've noticed in watching TV shows about weight loss -- some people were eating 3000 to 5000 calories per day before starting their pre-op and having surgery. I've lived ON AVERAGE in the 1600 - 2000 range for the better part of two decades! Sure, I had an occasional 4K day, but I had many, MANY more 1000-1200 days while trying to diet!!

The band has kept me CONSISTENTLY in the 1200-1400 range so it's a reduction, but not so huge that great gobs of weight is falling off.

Ceradad and Alaverde congratulations on 100lbs! Wow!:hurray:

Nana, look at your ticker moving! I'm not changing my ticker until I see the dr. on Monday. My appointment was moved from the 4th to the 10th.

I went to an annual function yesterday and wore a size 18 form fitting suit! I received so many compliments it began to be embarrassing! :blush2:I hope the scale supports the inches gone!

Congrats all on the great progress!

Good job, Val! Congrats on the new suit!

I wound up wearing some items that fit for the most part, but the pants are baggy other than the waistband (I don't want to spend money on pants if they're not falling off yet). :-)

I did break down and buy another pair of jeans last night at Target ($20 is easier to swallow). The Lame Giant jeans I have were starting to look like baggy jammies in the butt - yuck! It's just not flattering in jeans (works okay with dress pants).

I'm just 3.5 lbs from the 80 lb mark, and 10 lbs from onederland! I should be able to get to the 80 lb mark in 2 weeks, if not sooner. I lost that much in a week last week, but I think it was mostly because I was too busy to eat most of the time I was on my trip. I'll just have to keep myself too busy to eat while I'm back home too, I guess. In the end, as long as the scale keeps going down, it's all good!
