Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!

I finally reached 100lb about a week ago. For some reason, 100lb doesn't seem like as much as you'd think. Probably because I'm tall. Anyway, I'm happy. I think getting a TT would help though haha.

SNT - I think it's a great idea for those who have already lost over 100 lbs to mentor those of us who WANT to get there...

I'd love to have a mentor once I get my surgery date...or even before that!

I have tried to stick to a low carb diet as much as possible (including the pre & post-op stages) and I really watch my portions. I also do resistance/weight training everyday and walk about 30 miles a week. I'm not going to lie to you... It has been really hard to stay focused at times, but I'm going to get married after the first of the year and I really want to look my best.

yourown - you have done an AMAZING job!
It sounds like you have a really consistent routine as far as exercise, and keeping it low carb certainly has worked for you! Did you have any issues like diabetes? I am a type II diabetic, and one of the reasons I want the band is to get off the meds and insulin.

My goal is to lose like you have - if you don't mind - did your loss start off fast and slow down? How tall are you? Do you have a lot of loose skin from losing the weight so fast, or did the exercise you are doing help with that?

Thanks for all the inspiration!

EbonyRose,

Read your post to Yourowndestiney - thought I'd add my 2cents worth. For me, the first few months the weight loss was faster. I've been struggling with the same pound for the past 10 days...but also I'm due for another fill - right now have the capacity to eat too much, too fast. After my fills I do well for a couple weeks, so I'm hopeful. But there are always plateaus, and the pounds never come off fast enough for me!

Good luck with your diabetes and getting off the meds. It worked for me! Within a couple months, I was completely off my meds. I was taking two oral meds and looking at insulin in the near future - now, I need nothing. It's wonderful!!

I log all my calories on thedailyplate.com. I also walk every day - about an hour all together. I don't watch carbs - just calories and make sure I get enough protein. That usually means cutting back on carbs, so it works out that way.

And yes, my skin is getting saggy, but at my age, and starting out as big as I did, I believe that's inevitable. But, I'll take the saggy skin over the weight any day!!

Good luck w/ your journey!
