I made it past the 100 pounds lost mark! 
This number has been taunting me for the past 2.5 weeks... every time I would get close, it would go back up a pound or two.
Well, as of this morning, I am down 100.1 pounds!
Yes...I know it will likely go up and down a bit again, but this is my first venture past the century mark and I'm going to enjoy it!
Oh yeah... I am just under 26 weeks out... Monday will be 26 weeks, Wednesday will be 6 months by date.

Topic: RE: March Lapbander Here, Anyone else?
Thank you. It's more of a struggle than I ever thought! You are looking pretty good in your photos! I am trying to be optimistic and I hope to be able to see the progress in my photos at least by my 1 year anniversary.

STRUGGLING EVERY DAY!!!!!!!
it is a SLOW process...but it IS coming off...i just posted something similar to this venting my frustrations...i think i need to just pay more attention when i eat...make better choices, and fight through this...i also have no restriction, so this is just torture!! hopefully things will kick in soon, and i'll start losing again. good luck and feel free to message me if you ever wanna chat!!

Topic: feeling like a loser...in the bad sense...
ok so i had my surgery on mar.27th, 2007. i was 233 the day of surgery, and right now i'm 194...i feel like i should have lost more by now, but my body refuses to lose on a regular basis...it seems like i have NO restriction yet even after 4 fills...i'm at like 2.5cc, in a 4cc band...my doc is VERY stingy with the fills...the problem is that i'll lose a few pounds, then nothing for weeks...then maybe 1-2 more...then NOTHING for weeks...is this normal? my surgeon is just pleased to pieces with me, which is good in a way but also very frustrating...any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated...i'm hoping for some restriction soon, but who knows...i can eat ANYTHING, i have never PB'ed, or had any bad experiences (which is good) but i feel like i'm sliding back into bad habits because i know nothing bad will happen...HELP!!!!

Topic: RE: The Gym!
I was doing great on my eliptical machine, but I've allowed that to die down. Having some motivation issues to do excercise. I think I need to start setting time early in the morning, as it's before the grind of the day gets going!!

Topic: RE: How many sizes are you down?
AWESOME EVERYONE!!!
I thought that I started at 52" waist size, but as I was cleaning out my closet this weekend, I realized that my highest work slacks were 54." Right now I'm wearing 36" waist jean shorts. that is an 18" difference in my waist!!!
As for shirts, I was a 3X, and possibly a 4X if the 3X didn't run big. I'm now down to a size L (yes with no X's). I'm now 5 pounds from my goal and excited!!!

I started out in a tight size 20 to lazy to go and buy the 22W. Now I am in a loose 14W. I am loving it. I can't wait to say good bye to Lane Bryant and Ashley Stuarts and the extra expenses involved with shopping there.

Topic: RE: The Gym!
I exercise about 5-6 times per week. I alternate -- one day I will run 2 miles and lift weights. The next day I run three miles and do ab exercises. When I first started going to gym, I walked for 20 minutes, then 30, then 40, then 45. I then started running for 20 minutes and walking for 20 minutes, until I built it up.
