So I was sad on Wed because the scale wasn't moving, but then my future mother in law measured me over the weekend for a refitting of my dress and she discovered I lost 2 inches in the belly and 2 inches in the hips! Yay for NSVs!

Haha! Maybe I am going to set ambitious goals after all. Better go edit that...

Okay, someone post a challenge.
How about:
Water intake 64 oz.
This seems to be difficult for a lot of people, me included.
Excercise 30 minutes of brisk walking EVERY day.
I know I have an excuse for why I can squeeze 30 minutes in, but I found walking in place is still excercise. Watch your favorite show and walk in place.
I am only on week 3 of my banding, so I am not released to do any other excercise. But, I have been following a lot Blogs and the forums and notice that even those who have been banded for a while have stopped excercising or eating right. I am struggling with the soft foods because it opened a door where I could be tempted to overindulge, so if I have someone or a group that can hold me accountable...I am in.

Welcome to the monthly challenge. July is here and time to start working mid-summer activities. The Summer Challenge is a fun way to keep track of your monthly weight loss while gaining and giving support to other bandster's.
Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Sunday July 1st the come back every Sunday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th and post your updated weight. I will keep track of the weights to get a table listing everyone's results on the following weekend.
Good luck to everyone and remember this isn't a contest it's a challenge and you are a winner no matter how much you lose.
The first three items are required all others are recommended, but the last one is the most fun. If you are new to our monthly challenger please leave a short introduction.

Weighed in at the EXACT same as last time - 202.2! Can we say "plateau"?! I even had tonsillitis all week last week, struggled to eat even liquids, and didn't lose an ounce. Oh well, it's better than gaining I guess!

Checking in at 184. I Lost the 2 pound Water gain from last week plus 5 more actual pounds for a total of 7 pounds!!
1 pound to this months goal!! I might even be able to see 179 by the end of the month.
