Rockin' Robyn 15 Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Everyone- It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds. Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band! This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!

Wheetsin 714 Posted March 14, 2006 I hope to be here some day. I just wanted to say that I think this post is a fantastic idea. I have nearly 200# to lose, and it adds a measure of comfort to see that it is indeed possible. Great idea! 2 ready4animprovedme and ThomasLeroy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just looked through the GFG Club members list and there are 6 people on there who are 15 pounds or less from hitting the 100 mark. Your list will soon be growing Robin!
