larrypdot,

lets face it, the band is the cheapest of the surgeries and people dont see immediate results, so they see it as not working as well. But i'm glad he questioned me, it helped light a fire under my butt, and made me even more successful! I think I may cancel my next fill, cause I'm pretty comfortable, but I would love to show him what 4 weeks can do to a bandster! lol!!

FINAL WEIGH IN at 159.4. I did not make my goal weight and did not move from last week but I did go to my group session last week and worked on re-focusing on me and focusing on changing bad habits. I'm excited about next month's challenge. Thank you all for the support and best of luck. See you for the next challenge.

Total Weight Loss Since Banding~ 41.0 lbs.

Hi, last weigh in at 252 down 1.5 from last week. Didn't make my goal but still lost 6 lbs for the month, so that's better than no loss at all.

Joan,

How about next month we do Turkey Challenge, of course the challenge is not to be a turkey and eat to much Thanksgiving dinner. I am making sugar free persimmon pudding this year.

Well the 174 didn't last more than a couple days but I really didn't expect it to! It's ok. I will see again soon! My final weight for this challenge is 175. I have consistently lost 2 pounds a month since May or June so this is exactly where I expected to be. Congrats to everybody who hit their goal this month!

FINAL WEIGH IN AT 237

DOWN just 1 POUND this week, but HIT my goal for the CHALLENGE!

Weird weeks of weight loss this month, some high, then NONE, than ONE!?!

Looking forward to the next one...

Total Weight Loss Since Banding~ 42#

I am checking in at 178.4. I met my weight goal for the month. : )

I didn't reach my exercise goal but will continue to work towards this.

Did great on ice cream 3x a week or less, actually.

Only went to the movies once.

I hope this was a good month for one and all and that we'll see you at "The Turkey Challenge", which will start November 1st.

Checking in at 240. I missed my goal by only one pound--and I originally thought the goal was unrealistic. HA!!

My other goals:

Exercise Goal ~ Use elliptical at least 30 minutes a day, at least five days a week--in addition to attending yoga classes every week. I did okay with this except when I was visiting family in California. But I walked a lot there, so I still did fine.

Dietary Goal ~Track everything that I eat or drink every single day. I did okay with this except when I was visiting family in California.

Personal Goal ~Get back to writing every day (this month: revise last novel). I did not do well with this one. I'm re-visiting it next month!

10/22/11 - 269

Happy for the 1 lb loss! Had a crazy busy week at work and only made it to the gym twice, but better than never!

10/29/11 - 268

Happy Halloween!! :bat:

Personal Goal ~Get back to writing every day (this month: revise last novel). I did not do well with this one. I'm re-visiting it next month!

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, what kind of novel is it? Since you say your last novel, I assume that you have previous novels. Any published? Any available online?

Last Check in at 186. ust one pound over my goal.
