I just want to encouarge you all that have alot to lose.

I lost 170 in the first 12 or so months and then it slowed down a bit but im still going strong and looking for my goal!

I exersised the whole time 5-6 days a week. I even started running when i was at 340LBS or so.

YOu can do it. I wasnt PERFECT but i kept pushing myself.

Hopefully i can be at goal at the end of the summer.

Awesome job! I've lost the same as you to this point (with the same slow down at 170 pounds). The big difference is that I'm now where you started -- hopefully I can duplicate your success from this point on! I just had my third fill and it's definitely helping.

Hi everyone. Congrats on everyone's success! This thread is so inspirational. I'm going to read it everytime I start to feel sorry for myself.

I was banded 6 weeks ago, and as of today have lost a total of 48 pounds. I had my first fill yesterday, so I'm hoping now I won't be so hungry at times.

Like most in this thread, I'm exercising on a regular basis. I workout at the fitness center 6 days a week, and even though I don't work out on sundays, I still manage to walk 2-3 miles outdoors.

I just hit a milestone... I'm under 300. 297 to be exact. I'm well upon my way!

Congratulations, you are doing extremely well!!!

Congrats, great job!

Great accomplishment. Good to hear it has worked so well for you. I am amazed everyday at what chance this has given me to have a new life.

Keep up the good work.....glad to hear you have the commitment to exercise as much as you do.

Wow. I'll be lucky if I lose 70lbs my first year. You truly are an inspiration.

congrats

Wow! Success stories like this provide such an inspiration for the rest of us. I'm so excited about having my surgery and starting my journey.

Congrats to everyone on their success. You guys are amazing.

Congrats! I'm still looking at dr's for lap band. I have 2 appts/seminars in the next 10 days. If they recommend a bypass I'll direct them to your post! Large weightloss can be done with the band- you just have work at it. Something I've from this site is the band is a tool, it'll only work if you use it right.

great job thanks for sharing its wonderfull to hear stories like yours they give us hope that yes it can be done......lol
