Hello all!

My weight loss has been stalled for awhile now and I am highly motivated by challenges. I wanted to see if anyone wanted to join me in losing weight by Easter. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. :thumbup: I'm currently at 221-223 depending on the day. It would be awesome to be in "Onederland." Easter is on 4/4/10 and I am eager to meet my goal.

I'd love to have you all join in. Anyone with me?

I'd love to join an Easter challenge, but I'm already in the Valentine's Day one and might get confused. I'll join after V-Day :-)!

Good luck getting to onederland!

If you are still up for the challenge I'll join you...I've been away from this website for awhile now and have just committed to getting "back on track" as of today. I went and got an adjustment and really want to get rid of this weight. At the doctor's office today I weighed 274...I had lost down to 268...so hopefully won't take me too long to get back to there adn would like to be around 238 around Easter..

Let me know how a "challenge" works...I'm in!

I need more motivation, too! I've been on a LONG plateau since Thanksgiving but just ramped things up at the gym and am hoping that will kick start the weight loss. I don't think I can do 30 pounds by Easter; I'd be happy with 10-15.

I'm in! I am 220 at 15 days post op. would love to be in Onederland by April @ 199 pounds.

are you making an chart?

Google has a great share excel app onine.

I'll join you. My weight loss was extremely slow over November and DEcember, but I just got a tiny fill (.6) and think I have hit the sweet spot. I've lost 5 lbs in a week. I would like to be 185 by Easter.

I would love to join. I had my surgery September 21, 2009. I have lost 55 pounds and am currently at 221. I have only lost 4 pounds in the last month so I have really slowed down. I'm in.......

I'm in I would love to be down 30 pounds by Eater! My start weight as of Monday was 263, but I got up and lost 1 pound since I added more calories on Tuesday. Today 262 woooo hooo!!!! I'm on my way!!!!:w00t:

Count me in! I'm a "fresh" postop, and not yet experiencing much in the way of restriction; a challenge will be a good motivator to stay on track even when I feel like gnawing the legs off the furniture

Awesome! I haven't started a chart... I'll definintely look at Google. This is my first challenge, so please bare with me.

I started Couch to 5K two days ago and it is awesome. My abs hurt almost as bad as the day after surgery from jogging - and while pain doesn't feel great I know I worked out!

I'm stoked that we've gotten several responses! You guys want to check in every Monday?

Mondays sound great to me...maybe I will be more reluctant not to cheat during the weekend if I have to report on Monday..What all do we report??

I had surgery in October 08 and have just really gotten back on the wagon...Hadn't really exercised any since surgery, but started the treadmill last week and tonight me and my husband started the Biggest Loser 30 Day Jumpstart DVD...Kicked my butt!!

Thanks for getting this started..I'm pumped!!

Maybe we can report our weight... so we can keep track on a weekly basis. We can also put in some things that helped us be successful during the week - food, exercise, etc.

I just watched Biggest Loser for the first time in a long time the other day and it gave me some inspiration. I also walked/ran today and ended my workout on the elliptical. Woot!

I was banded July 2008 and I'm also getting back on the wagon. I haven't gained any weight over the last year, but my weight loss significantly slowed down. Good luck! :biggrin:

Can I join?? I am only one week post-op so I'm still "getting to know" my band. But I am super motivated and excited and want to share my successes and failures with all of you! :biggrin:

PLUS I am a bridesmaid in July and need to drop as much as possible as fast as possible so I can turn some heads!

I'm in!! I have plateaued as well. I would love to lose 30 lbs but I will be more realistic knowing my body I will be more in the 15-20 range. I will aim high at 20 lbs before Easter!

ThinAli...15-20 is probably realistic for me too...but Aiming REALLY High ha ha! Anything will be better than nothing!

Exactly - any weight loss is better than none at all! I am aiming for 30 but if I get into Onederland by any amount I will be more than please. Shoot - I'm excited to get below 220! I haven't been below 220 since high school. :biggrin:
