Hi everyone:

I'm very excited and proud to let you all know that I'm officially down 100 pounds today. I was banded 7/26/07, and started dieting 4/23/07. I'm down 100 pounds just shy of 9 months.

Yippee.....I celebrated by having one piece of toast with Peanut Butter for breakfast! Yeah, I know - no food rewards......ooops.

Now I'll get off that cloud and come back down and lose 64 more pounds to get to goal. I'm guessing that will take me another 12 months, but hey it's alot easier to handle being 64 pounds overweight than 164 pounds overweight!

Thanks everyone for your support.

I'll fix my ticker next week on 6 month bandiversary.

Greatttttttttttt! job!! Congrats:

thanks for sharing. I haven't had my first doctors appt yet. I love this site, though. It has been a comfort to me to know that others are out there just like me. Sallie

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! You are true inspiration to us yet "to be banded" who have 100+ lbs to lose.

That is so exciting! Especially since you and I had the same starting amount to lose. (I have one more pound, actually!) Ha!

WAY TO GO!!!!

Congrats! Got any Before and 100 pound pics?

I lost 38 pounds before banding, but there's a picture 3 days post surgery and after about a hundred pounds on page 76 of the before and afters thread.

I see that you just got banded recently. Congratulations and best wishes. It gets alot easier after you get some restriction and can eat solids again.

Thanks. Its going pretty good for me thus far. I have gas pains and am figuring that out and my hernia repair pain is subsiding.
