hi july banders

just felt we needed another check in type thread. if 100lbs is too high for you right now then how close are you to 50lbs lost, 75lbs lost.

im 40lbs from 100lbs lost. i've decided to up my workouts by an hour. i'd really like to hit it by the end of Feb. i know thats agressive but it helps to keep me focused. any pounds lost is a gain to me.

100 lbs is too far away for me to think about it at this point. I hope to reach that goal at my 1 year mark, in July 2010. For now, it's one pound at a time.

Congrats on your great weight loss!

thank you and congrats to you too. you are doing great.

I have 35 to go. I can't wait to reach that mark. I am working towards reaching it before my one year bandiversary which will be June 17th. I think I should be able to do it by then. What I really want to do is reach it by my Mom's 76th Birthday in April. It would be such a great gift to her. She has been my biggest support. I am trying really hard to get there. Good Luck to you on your goal and keep us updated.

Wow! You guys are amazing. I can't think about 100 yet, but I am 8 pounds from 50!!! Yes!

My plan is to be at goal by my one year bandiversary as well. That being said, I need to step it up. I had my second fill last week, so hopefully that will help.

Happy Monday!:thumbup:

greytz..way to go you will be there before you know it

mary i know how i felt when i was so close to 50, its a great feeling. lets hope you knock those 8 pounds out in no time.

i never expected to have lost as much as i have so soon. i just figured since they say you lose better in the 1st year i better jump in and get it off.

i love hearing success stories and our level of success is different depending on our goals at the time. everybody can come here to brag on themselves.

I'm 8lbs from one hundred in a little over a year. I've plataued but i'm not worried about it. I'm having lots of PS in january and that should take care of those pesky 8.

october is when i hit the 100lbs mark. but november i lost another 4lbs.from the begining i was 324lbs. lost 40lbs before surgery.an 64lbs after surgery.january 09 is my surgery date.o this january will be one year that i have been banded cannot wait to hit onderland..

I just hit the 80 pound mark, took just over 14 months. Slow, but I am fine with it

wow you all are doing great. i had a bad day yesterday so to come here and see these latest posts have really lifted me up.

thats why i love the inspiring posts.

I'm 48 away from 100lbs so just over halfway! Only one fill so far was due one in early Nov but my port had flipped (and is now completely loose) so I'm having that revised on New Years Eve. Here's hoping to another 48 soon!

i'm down 80 lbs. I had surgery 7/2/09 and started at 295 i am now 213. :thumbup:

can't wait to hit onederland

wow you all are doing great. this is the most weight i have ever lost and im so excited to see the changes im going through. congrats everyone
