May 15@ 148

Good luck everyone!

I am 5'5" currently 150. My initial goal was 135 but now I am very happy with my current weight. Wouldn't mind to get to 145 for a maintenance range. The weight I thought would be ideal turns out now would be too small for my body type.

Checking in at 150. Good luck to all!

Weighed in at 152, 1 pound below goal. See you in next month's challenge!

5'5" started at 219 wearing 16/18. Now at 152 wearing 6.

Checking in at 153#s made my month goal. Have a great week!

154 pounds today, down 1.

Have a great week everyone.

I am from East Africa and have visited post banding and will be back again in a few months. The suggestions offered were great and I just wanted to add some points.

I carried my Protein Shake powders and my shaker bottle and this took care of most of my breakfasts. I also packed a few Protein Bars for Snacks. It sounds like you may be visiting rural areas so grab and go foods may suit you best. Also there are a variety of Soups that are available as poultry and beef are expensive and aren't served regularly but this as mentioned depends greatly on your living arrangement. Tea which comprises of milk and boiled Water is common at Breakfast & in the evening. Fish is a staple and that too can yield some Soup. Fruits and different types of nuts aren't a bad option either as they are ready to eat. If you are doubtful i would suggest to carry some canned soups and/or veggies and fish and only indulge in food that you are familiar with. I have not had any problems and i wish you the best. Please remember to drink only bottled water and ensure that the lid has a safety seal.

Safe travels and stay blessed.

Dropped 3#s this week, had not been losing much last month. 10 more #s to my ultimate goal! Good luck to all.

I was banded on September 21st and have since lost 64 pounds, started off at 219. The monthly challenges have really helped me focus as I feel obligated to push myself each week. It is tough though as I had been on a plateau for a while. Wishing all of you great success!
