    I finally lost at the last minute! I have to be good ALL WEEK! I went to a football game last night and had some sweets that I shouldn't have, but today is another day.I get to start over right now!

    Let us know how you have done. I can tell you this challenge has helped me. I keep thinking that I have to post my numbers so I better be good. I hope to have a little better loss by next week. We will see.

    I will admit that for the past month I feel like I've been doing the "Farewell to food Tour" I have hit all my favorite restaurants and I know I've gained weight. I've never eaten like this my entire life. I'm the heaviest I've ever been so now that I know my surgery and that pre-op diet is around the bend, I'm ready to buckle down. I actually miss eating healthy. I'm like the fattest "healthy' eater I know. I just keep thinking that the more weight I take off without the band, the less I will need to take off with it.

    Good luck to everyone. :blushing:

    We've all been there! Last Supper Syndrome as it is called. We all know we shouldn't, most do it. Welcome to October. We call ourselves the Smashing Pumpkins. If you are looking for a thread for October 2009 you can look under forums and find more that are having surgery next month. I remember that last month. I thought it would NEVER get here! Good luck!

    I am taking the challenge to lose ten pounds by October 31. My bandiversary is October 7th. Can anyone explain to me how to put a picture and a weight ticker on this thread? I am not too good on the computer. My starting weight was 263 lbs. My weight on my surgery date was 256 lbs. My current weight is 197 lbs. I am 5' 10" tall.

    Sure. Touch on one of our tickers. That will take you to a web site and you can put all the information in. Make sure to put in a pin number so you don't have to copy and paste every time you want to update your weight. When you have your ticker made up (play around a bit. It is fun) then on this page go up to the top.

    See the shortcut to "Quicklinks"? It is right under the welcome message. Touch on that and then select "Edit Signature" from the drop down menu. Paste the correct code you got for your ticker from the other page and add whatever else you would like in the box provided. You can preview and save. When you save then everytime you post your signature will automatically post on the bottom of your message. When you want to update your weight just touch on your ticker in your signature, put in your current weight and save. Your ticker on your signature will then be updated too.

    Let me know if you need more help. It takes a while to figure it all out.

    Giddyupgrandma is up for a challenge. I don't know how to put a weight ticker on this site but my starting weight was 263 lbs., my sugery was October 2nd, 2008 and I weighed 254, as of Saturday I weigh 197lbs (I was as low as 194 but have been struggling this summer because I have physical problems that are keeping me from exercising.) I will post my weight on this thread every Saturday morning. My goal is a ten pound weight loss by October 31.

    Great! I will put you down. You can find the posting on the other thread. If I keep it all in one place I have less of a chance to miss someone. I'll put you down for a 10 lbs goal.

    hey cool so i post it here what do u post before weight and now and how much u wan t to lose in 8 weeks?

    Just tell me your goal. You don't have to post your weight, but you are welcome to. I keep it at home on a spread sheet so I don't forget what I weigh week to week.

    Each Saturday or so post your weight lost for the week. I'm trying for 2 pounds a week. Keep your fingers crossed.

    Hi, My date is set for Oct. 12. I have been trying to loose at least 10 pounds before surgery. I am having a hard time and have put on 2 pounds. Good Luck with your surgery. Tina

    When does your pre-op diet start? Are you on a special diet? I started about 2 weeks before my surgery date and cut out all bread, Pasta, rice and potatoes. High Protein diet. Anytime you start to look for food ask yourself if you are really hungry. You can do it!

    I am wondering if any of you would like to start a challenge.

    We are only one month away from October! OMG I can't even believe that! I was banded at the end of the month, but it is still coming up soon. Anyone interested in a Halloween Challenge? We could weigh in every Saturday Morning and I'll keep track and post it on our other October thread here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/any-october-bandsters-73669/index118.html#post1319376 Please post your weigh in results on the other thread too so I can keep it all straight. I don't want to miss anyone!

    Who is in? I really need to get on track and get the sweets out of my system.

    If you are interested Weigh yourself. Let me know that you want your name added to the Challenge List. This will be an eight week challenge and so my goal will be 16 lbs.

    Just to let the new "Smashing Pumkins" know. There should be a thread for October 2009 if you search for it but you are welcome to join us if you would like.

    Just an update...I miss everyone!!! Work work is keeping me busy. Alright so I am still at 168, not trying to lose any more until my Tummy Tuck :sneaky: All is well, I love my band! I still work out 5 to 6 x per week! Good luck everyone.

    Wow are you looking into PS already? I have to pay off my lapband surgery first. I always heard to maintain for a year before PS. What is your time schedule? I need it so bad!!!!

    Tummy Tuck an Breast Lift for my 40th birthday. Okay, so I will get a consult for my 39th birthday. 4 years to go....

    Hey all, I was banded October 3rd 2008 and have lost 84 lbs. One my one year bandiversary I'm getting married, lol!!!

    Wow! Yep! The winner for sure!

    omg congratulations that is wonderful news yes i think you win.....I myself am happy to say I just recieved confirmation to go to the Oprah show and since they are taping the show in 5 days my fear was I wouldn't be able to fly coach and be comfortable but due to my weight loss i know i can fit!!!!!!! I am very excited .....

    That would be awesome!I remember in April when I flew and I could walk down the aisle of the plane without turning to the side. An AMAZING accomplishment for sure!

    Hey everyone...glad you found the thread. It is great to think about...

    I told hubby I want a TT and Breast Lift for my 40th birthday. I just turned 35, but I figure I will get a free consultation for my 39th so it is only 4 years away. By that time I should just have my surgery paid off! YAY! My size 12 pants are getting looser. I can't wait to fit into a size 10. One of my goals is to be a size 9 in '09.

    I do like the idea of pictures. I just got a head shot done, but maybe an official full body picture is in order. I would LOVE to be at goal by then, but that will really be pushing it even if I keep a good pace. I am blessed at my current weight. I keep thinking about where I was one year ago. How it felt to sit in my chair to watch TV and sit in a chair and not be able to cross my legs. I remember a year ago sitting in the bleachers and feeling like a toad on a log just sitting there with my shoulders hunched over trying not to make eye contact because I didnt' want anyone to feel like they had to talk to me. Tonight I went to my sons' football scrimmage and everyone kept commenting how good I looked, and damn it...they are right! :)
