4th of July Challenge!

Here we go again! This one is going to be a long one. Lets see who wants to join this week and have our first weigh in next Sun/Mon.

My goal is to lose the last 14 by the 4th! That is 8 weeks! Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know how to make a spreadsheet?

Well at least I lost a little. I flew to Denver for my second fill on Friday, went well BUTTTTTT I still dont have any restriction. Bandster hell !!!!!!! I am gonna keep on going. This may be the hardest thing I have done, yet it is still better than before the band.

Down 1.5 this week. This will be the week for more! Lots of Zumba and a fill on Thursday. Then liquids for 5 days. Glad to break through the plateau! Have a great week everyone! 9.5 till onderland!

Down 1 this week to 165. I have been up and down from 164-166, so I guess I need to move my a$$ this week. It's really starting to slow down now, but what the heck do I have to complain about? 66 lbs isn't too shabby LOL

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi all can somebody look at my cell the numbers are not adding up right. Thanks!

Did you gain or lose 7.5 the first week of the challenge? If that's supposed to be a 7.5lb loss then there needs to be a minus sign in front of the 7.5 :unsure:

I gained 7.5 then lost well if you change the numbers it still said o

yeah...yours isn't adding or subtracting. It's up to date right now because I fixed it but u still have the adding/subtracting problem. Sorry :unsure:

Thanks! Maybe I will start on new line

I lost 2.4lbs this week and that's great considering we were out of town and I was eating muffin or Danish for breakfast, subway for lunch and eating at different restaurants at dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to get back to routine now which I am finding It hard to do...............

Up a half pound on my scale.. down a half on my work scale LOL.. for the purpose of this challenge I will go by my scale :unsure: I am definitely in bandster hell right now plus its that water retaining time of the month so I won't get upset about my gain (or tiny loss). Hopefully my return to the gym (first time this am since surgery) and my (fingers crossed) fill on Thursday will result in some scale movement in the right direction next week.

Down 2 this week - going to try to go down 3 this upcoming week. i have a fill Monday and would love to be able to tell the doc that I am down an even 50 lbs.

Should be fine--formula in cell was deleted

That is happening alot. To everyone, just a reminder, just enter your weight with a plus or minus to indicate gain or loss. Do not enter anything in the cells that are not highlighted in yellow--ie, you do not have to enter total weight loss or ending weight. Once you enter your weight, those will be calculated automatically!

Down a pound this week.

Who knew that Bandster Hell would be so hard. I hear and see stories on this website so often, thinking that is not going to happen to me. Up and down the same 3 lbs since I started eating Solid foods. Just got my 1st fill yesterday, so now I have 3 cc's in a 10cc band. I have a little more restriction but not much. Next fill not for another 5 weeks, Hope I can still accomplish my goal!

let the fill work...it has made such a difference for me. I got my first fill last wed and I lost 8 pounds this week! ii find the fill more effective when you are back on solid foods post liquids...you can do it! give it a bit of time to work!
