100 + forum?

[LapBandFan 22]

I think it would be great to form a forum/board just for people who need to lose 100 + pounds to include those who have lost 100+ pounds. I bet you would get some good responses.

Be nice to confer with others who have lost 100+ pounds when we hit plateaus, etc.

I agree! I think that it would a great forum. It would help the 100+ losers. Hopefully they will make that!

Hey Ethel,

This sounds good, I would be interested in this. I will keep checking back to see whats going on.

I think this suggestion has come up before but not been followed through with because the majority of people on this site have 100+ pounds to lose. (or started out that way)

I think that would be a good one also....maybe a mod can tell us how to get it done?

Well, why don't we just talk here about it? I am down 107 in 14 months and am stuck, stuck, stuck..... it's been about 4 months now since any real loss. How long have you guys stuck on plateaus?

Hey Iluvsammies....I think I might have emailed you or talked to you about sammy puppies a couple of years ago. I ended up getting a sammy and he will be three this year. The kids are begging to get him a friend, but I don't think I have another spot on my lap for another 70lb dog . Maybe after I loose weight? LOL

This is a really interesting thread for me. Many years ago I used to attend regular OA meetings (Overeater's Anonymous.) There was an amazing Hundred-Pounder meeting, even though I was only 50 pounds overweight back then. Other meetings were filled with skinny bulimics and anorexics. I actually felt like an outsider. I wasn't one of the anorexics, and I didn't belong in the 100 pounder meeting.

That's when I learned how to barf. Soon I was bulimic and fit in, and then I ended up in the hospital after fainting from malnourishment (it was a very proud moment indeed.) Then started the therapy to stop starving, binging, purging. Then I got married and eventually became a hundred pounder myself.

There's a message here... be careful what you wish for!

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm in! I haven't lost 100 pounds yet, but I'm not dead yet either so there's still hope.

Well we got some good responses so far from you all. How about we do follow up on this thread with each other? Weekly sign-ins would be great although a daily thread would be fine withe me too as I need daily and sometimes hourly encouragement....

At my highest weight I needed to loose 170 pounds and have lost 130 of it so far. I have hit a plateau for a while now. I know I need to increase exercise and decrease snacking between meals. Any more suggestions? I am gonna sit down real soon and make out a list of all the NSV and maybe that will help motivate me and others too.

Glad to meet all you other 100 pounds + fellow bandsters, to all you who have lost 100+ Congratulations Way to go..... For all you who still need to lost 100+ - you can do it!! Let us encourage one another.

Hope to hear back from all you 100+ club members really soon!
