OMG!!! How have you lost 100 lbs in less that 6 months???

I have been banded for 10 days and lost 17lbs but I was told that the weight loss would slow down to 1-2 lbs a week very soon.

Please share your secret!!!

Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I have lost 227 pounds so far and its only been two years! I still have some more weight to lose, but so far so good. Thanks!

Holy crap! 227 pounds?? BRAVO!!!!!

LapBandit · 09-08-2006, 07:17 PM

Jaclyn....227??? I can only dream! You've renewed my hope! What are your tips? Lots of protein, excersize?? Please share!

***Susan*** · 09-10-2006, 02:00 PM

Jaclyn, what an amazing accomplishment! It helps us all to know that it can be done. I don't suppose you would be willing to post some before and after pictures, I would love to see them, hint hint.

Rockin' Robyn · 09-10-2006, 05:43 PM

WOW....that's truly amazing glossylips!! I truly hope to get there someday... I don't think I ever truly believed it would be possible for me personally to ever lose even 100 pounds with the band...now I'm at almost 150, so now 200 pounds lost some day is looking more and more within reach. You are a true inspiration!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Welcome to the 100 pound club!

I hit the 100 pound mark! Woooohooooo! It took me almost exactly one year from being banded, but the weight is continuing to come off, as long as I keep working at it. Here's my before/after (about a month ago):

CONGRATULATIONS PUDDIN PIE!!!
Ain't this band the BEST! :)

Glogirl · 09-21-2006, 03:40 PM

Wow puddinpie you look fantastic. I am hoping to have the band done in December have to do the pre prep program for insurance to pay so have to wait till then. I am currently 316 and it has been great reading this thread to know 100 lbs or more is possible.
If you could give one piece of advice what would you say.
Thanks

First of all, congrats on your upcoming surgery! It's very exciting.

If I could give one piece of advice it would be to count calories in and calories out with a fierce tenacity. I can probably eat a whole lot more food than most bandsters, but that's because I exercise like a mad woman, so I get to eat more. I like it better that way because I like to have the increased energy so I can play harder. On average, I'm eating about 1,200-1,500 calories each day. But I like to ride my road bike about 16 miles to and from work every day and then I work out about 45 minutes to an hour each day. In addition I play on a futsol team. So I like to have the energy to do these things by eating more. But you could have the same results just by cutting out more food and getting a tighter fill and exercising less.

And I know you all have heard me preach this before and are probably sick of hearing it, but I wear a device on my arm called the Body Bugg that counts all the calories I burn on a daily basis and then have this online system that goes with it where I log all my food. I can predict exactly what I'm going to lose in a week. It's been a lifesaver. I believe the price just dropped to $400 (they have some new competition). I paid $500 for mine.

I think some bandsters don't have the time or energy to count exactly what they're eating. And if they're losing weight, more power to them. I heard a quote once, however, that said "Whatever is measured and recorded, improves." I believe that. If you have a choice between a 500-calorie dessert and a 200-calorie dessert and you have to log it later, you'll probably pick the 200-calorie one, so you can hit your daily goal. On the other hand, if you've exercised a lot that day and haven't eaten much, maybe you CAN indulge in that 500-calorie dessert. It's all about crunching the numbers. Of course, you can eat more if you make healthier choices.

Okay, that was WAY more than one piece of advice. Sorry about my long-windedness. Have fun with it and stay out of trouble.
