Hey all just a quick update. I'm so excited I weighed my self and I'm finally under 200 for the first time since I got married 8 yrs ago!! I was so excited when I weighed myself I cried!!!!!!

I just wanted to share this and tell each and every one of you thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your suport and understanding in the 6 months I've been banded and during my reasearch. All of you here on LBT have brought me where I am today.....66 pounds lighter and so much happier and healthier!!! Thank you all for your great suport and dedication to me!!

That is so good that is one of my goals I have gotten below 200 in the past but never stayed there long this time when I get there I will thanks to the band keep up the good work in the 100's.

Hi Jamie! 66 lbs in 6 months is terrific! Keep up the great work! Happiness that makes you cry is the best.

I found this site 6 months ago when I began looking into the Lap Band, and I'm so glad I did. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 10 and I'm not sure I would have been convinced it is the right thing for me without reading and listening to all of the stories that the wonderful members of LBT have shared!

I can honestly say I've done enough research to make the decision and am more convinced than ever!

But, back to your wonderful news.... you deserve to do something special for yourself to mark this milestone.

Well thanks Christina but I had lost 13 of the 66 in Febuary2005 right before being banded... so actually I've lost 53 pounds since being banded on March 18th 2005...thats an average of about 8.8 pounds per month for 6 months. Total weight lose average over all in 7 months time 9.42 pounds per month. still happy with that for sure but I didn't want that 11 pounds a month you gave me to look to good LOL!!! Over all i'm proud of my weight loss thanks for all your suport!!

Quit trying to minimize your awesome work! Just 'cause you've managed to minimize the rest of you....

You've done amazing work, and welcome to Onderland. May you never visit Twonesial again!

CONGRATULATIONS Jamie!!

It really is a milestone, isn't it? Every ten pounds now is going to make SUCH a difference in the clothes you can wear.

I noticed your goal is 150. That was mine too when I started, but it felt so good to get under that 200 mark that I decided JUST FOR FUN to challenge myself to get under the 150 spot on the scale. Of course I may never get there and honestly I could be happy at 160 (I've maintained there before for long periods) but it would be nice to experience the thrill of a halfway decent ass again. And possibly that's the biggest drag of maintaining--you don't get that THRILL of pounds down.

Anyway--good for YOU!

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!!

[banded_for_life 2]

Jamie, congratulations on to you!!!! I can only imagine how excited your are. That too is one of my goals! My surgery is on the 23rd, so hopefully I will be there soon! Congrats again!

Congratulations Jamie! Being under 200 pounds seems so far away for me. I am 285 right now. I haven't been under 200 in about 18 years. Share your secret to all the new banders. You give us all hope.

[Jessiebear 2]

Jamie that's awesome! I think the best I have ever looked was when I was a size 18. I can't wait to get there too! Congrats! I am so happy for you! Keep it up girl!
