Approaching the 200 mark...

[shelley2b 0]

...hey all, I got on the scale this morning and found that I weight 200.6 lbs... hmmm:wink2: and YAY! :thumbup: Can't wait until I pass the 200s..

YAY:thumbup: - because I don't think I've been at 200 lbs in at least 6 or 7 years and that I've found the band helps me not to put on weight in between the times when I'm feeling like staying healthy.

hmmm:wink2:... because I wonder what it is about a number on a scale that means so much to me. I won't be a better person if I weight 1xx rather than 2xx, but I'm sooo pleased to be getting to that point. It somehow symbolizes something.

I'm less than halfway through my LapBand weightloss journey, but it's really making a difference to my success - the weight isn't coming off quickly, but it keeps coming off...

Good luck to everyone else - any similar stories? What was it like for you when you were approaching the 200 mark?

Congratulations! That is awesome!

I am the same way with the scale...when I see a good number I am very happy. I am having an issue with the urge to weigh myself everyday ( which I know is not good) so I fight with my self everyday. But when you see a lower number it is awesome!

so how are you doing now? I had my surgery middle of March, but haven't lost a lot of weight, like 22 pounds. I have lost more inches than weight.

I also wondered if me being over 50 had anything to do with it as well. I walk and swim as well as watch what I eat. My third fill is in two weeks.

hitting 198 was awesome. It feels like it took forever. I seem to have to be more and more active though to keep it moving! Is this what you have found?

yes I to have that same issue with wanting to weigh all of the time. I do the Wii which I love in the am before I go to work. I feel it keeps me on track.
