Jane get a life and quit trying to scam people!

Ok I'm here to get my butt back in gear. I need to lose at least 80 pounds by next October because I'm getting married. Anyone that would like to join this challenge for any reason at all may do so. Introduce yourself and tell me why you are wanting to do a challenge. We can post about our good days, bad days, recipes, food logs, exercise, anything you just name it! Who's in?

I'm happy to say I've lost another 5 lbs since joining this thread last week. 10 more to go! You all are doing great! Keep it up

I use and highly recommend sparkrecipes.com and what's cool is you can search for recipes based on your dietery needs like low carb, low fat, sugar free, lactose free, glueten free, and vegan/vegetarian. You can even search for bariatric recipes. Hope this helps!

It's just Water weight I'm sure.

Ok I've been banded for going on 5 years and have fallen off the bandwagon. But I'm back and focused and down 12 lbs in 1 week. I am going to make my goal to lose another 15 lbs by Memorial Day.

You may want to check with your doctor but I speak from experience when I say there are way too many empty calories that will stall your weight loss because I promise you that you won't have just 1 glass of wine. Just something to keep in mind.

I have Zumba and it is so fun. It is hard I'm not going to say it's easy but I enjoy it. I want to get Biggest Loser next and maybe Dance Central.

I went grocery shopping last night and stocked up on everything I needed but woke up this morning and forgot. I'm going to have to start tomorrow I guess...

I'm thinking about starting this next week. I've been banded for 4 years and could really use the help getting back on track. Why don't we make this thread a support thread for people who are or who are interested in trying the 5 day pouch test out? And we can post our menus for the day as well as recipes.

I so want to get Zumba. I've never tried it before but it looks like a good workout!

Congrats on your success so far! I wish you the best of luck on your journey. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask me. I've been banded for almost 4 years so I've learned a lot.:thumbup:

Well I only completed 3 days of liquids but have really been good. Chewing my food very slowly so I get full faster. I managed to lose 7 lbs this week. I have to keep at it...I can do this...

Ok so here is a little background on my adventures in being banded. I got banded on November 28, 2006 and initially lost 80 lbs and since have gained all but 10 lbs back. I know that my pouch is dialted. I found out this past summer and he told me to go on a liquid diet for two weeks which I never did (stupid me). But here I am and I'm commited to doing this no matter what. It's either I sit here and feel sorry and ashamed of myself or I do something about it. It won't be fun but it's a must because I paid way too much money to just give up on myself. So today is day 1 wish me luck :-)
