OK...Let's count successes on the scale and encourage one another. Since surgery down 26lbs.

Tag....your it!

Lacey, You're on the board for people that were banded in November. You're welcome to stay of course and join in our journey, but you might want to join the Jan 08 group as well.

Your weight loss etc might be more in line with the group that were banded the same time as you.

Sounds like you're doing well!

How do I find the jan people?

Lacey, Look under support groups, then monthly support groups, then Jan 2008.

How do I find the jan people?

On the main LBT page, scroll down to the "monthly support" area and click on 2008 link and then click on the Jan link. There ya go... your in the Jan08 bandsters forum then.

Well... since this is the "talk about weight loss thread"... I have OFFICIALLY BUSTED THROUGH THE 50 POUND BARRIER!

I have lost 54 total!!! YIPPY!!!

Man do I feel better than I did 2 months ago! what a change! That is 13.5% of my max body weight!

I went hiking the other day!

I am just more excited the more I think about breaking through that 50 mark!

Congrats TXArcher! That is very exciting. You should be so proud of yourself.

Thanks! It is good to get some support.

Wow, 50 pounds is amazing. You guys really have your head into this.

Way to go!

I'm just barely 1/2 of the 50 pound mark. I'm slow.... but steady! I won't win the race, but I'll finish.

It is not a race... My 50 pounds lost is 13% of my pre op weight. Your 25 pounds may be a higher percentage than mine though...

25 pounds is still A LOT of weight. Don't you feel better than you did Pre op?

Good way to look at it. Mine is about 11% of my starting weight and yeah I definitely feel better.

Oh, don't get worried, I know it's not a race, just a saying, and really as long as I finish, I'm ok!

I lost 30 pounds a few years ago, the most I think I've ever lost (of course I gained half back before being banded) but I just want to pass that 30 pound mark. I am still lower than I was when I lost the 30 pounds, so that's a great victory.

We're all on our way and doing our personal best.

50 lbs, great work txarcher.

Hi everyone - I'm at 113.2 Kilo this morning, down from 130, or 249 lbs down from 286 for a total weight loss of 37 lbs or 16.8 kilo since surgery on 21.11.07 (I didn't have a pre-op diet). It is good to see the scale moving again. I plateaued at 115 kilo for nearly a month. Bad habits are hard to lose but I am ready to stop fighting the changes the band has made and to start learning how to eat in a new way. The rewards come so quickly when we let them! Good luck to everyone, have a great weekend.

Congrats pandpal... we have a Nymph from across the pond. We are just one big international metamorphosis!

Congrats to you too, TxArcher - you sound like you're going at it. I migrated across the pond in'89, but my native habitat is the wilds of the Bronx, in the shadow of Yankee Stadium where a certain football team which you might not be too fond of right now used to play. Hopefully this will not impede our new-found friendship.
