I'm also not doing the next month's challenge - maybe the two months in a row with the SAME challenge has challenged us out?! I'll be here - weigh in on Wednesdays and do my normal stuff --- and definitely cheer everyone one for next month!!!

wanted to add - reason for no challenge for me next month is because I push myself a lot! and exercise some days when I shouldn't - which then causes my back to go out (numerous disabilities here folks).....didn't want anyone to think I am just a lazy, unmotivated unbanded girl

I don't think that Mo. You have really done very well, despite your barriers. Great role model and you never stopped cheering everyone on. You are a great person and we needed - need you.

Funny,

I have my reasons why I'm not participating. Like right now, I've been on this lbt almost all day. I've got work to do, gym to go to and a movie to see tonight. This LBT is addictive and I have a very addictive personality. I can get totally addicted to a game like The Sims 2, which I was for about 2 months.

I've got to push away.

Ladies,

Since you're all mentioning it together...I wont be doing the July challenge either!

I just want to be accountable to myself for a little while and the way my weight is upping and downing I want a month off!

Depending on how I do or don't do will let me know if I'll be back for August! I will be around and do my Wednesday weigh in though!

Hey Girls, I haven't done that last 2 challenges for the very same reason!! LBT became my life & I was on here 24/7. One day I overheard my 7 yr old talking to a friend. The friend said - "Hey, where is your Mom at? I haven't seen her in awhile?" My son said - "She's probably on the computer. That's all she does all day."

I realized that LBT had literally taken over my life. I decided I would log in only in the morning & night. It was hard!! I just LOVE this place!! :Banane56:

The fact that we ALL are overweight & had to have surgery for it leads me to believe that he majority of us may have some type of addicitive personality just like Telly said. I AM ONE OF THEM!!!!!! :) I admit it.

Okay, not sure what my point it except to say - BEEN THERE!! DONE THAT!!

Summer and children are probably a big reason for me not being on so much -- it's not fair to the kids when we are 'logged on' and not with them -- I know for me at least - when they return to school it will be easier to spend more time here -- well maybe - lol - but I'll be in school too - so maybe not

I love LBT - but I think there are so many posts to read and new threads and journals.....and friends!!! .......it's hard to step away -- perhaps not only is it addicting but we who need to lose weight find it easier to SIT and type than to get moving! So - let's get moving!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
