Recommended Posts

Hey guys!!! The biggest loser season 10 just ended! And this starts a new round of the pound for pound challenge. Its an awesome charity that the biggest loser does! For every pound that is pledged to be lost, the biggest loser donates to the Feeding America project that funds food banks to fight hunger in America.

I have created a team for Bandsters to join to fight the fight against obesity while helping to end hunger in America. Simply go to this link

it is based out of portsmouth ohio...but whatever state you live in you can join the BandGivesBack family to help end hunger! I look forward to seeing you all on our team! You can pledge up to 50 pounds and I encourage you to PLEDGE BIG !! The more we pledge the more biggest loser will donate! So go to the above link to help give back and get motivated!!!! Invite your friends lets make this a big effort by the band community!!!

Dont panic if your pounds pledged do not show up right away!!! The group has to reach a total of 4 members in order for them to show! But I am sure we will get there quick!! Spread the word!!

I signed up and am trying to join your team, but for some reason it won't let me. I click on the Join Team tab, but nothing happens. Any idea why?

I ♥♥♥ the biggest loser! I have been trying to do this even before getting banded.

I try to join but it doesn't recognize the team name, I even searched by city & state. HELP! :)

I tried and the same thing happened but I scrolled thru the team names and found Bandgivesback then I joined and registered. I think it worked.

I also had to do the same as going to find the team name and then registering and joining. But hopefully it worked. It's always nice to be able to give back, I think this is a great thing you started Inspire, hopefully more will join.

I just joined the team!! Just out of curiosity - will they automatically donate the food or do we have to somehow report as we lose weight?

I was able to join this morning! I had to scroll thru the team names in order to join - I couldn't just search on the team name. Our team is currently ranked #13. We need more members. We currently have pledged 230 pounds with 5 members.

Join our Pound for Pound Challenge Team "Bandgivesback"!

Awesome!

I've joined the team. :D

When looking for it though, I noticed that some of the teams had Facebook groups and some didn't.... I think we should have one too. For me it would be major accountability!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
