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.

You averaged 11 pounds per month- HOLY COW!!

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!!

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!!

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.
