I would love to do the X-mas challenge, but I just can't weigh on Monday's. I seem to either not lose or gain if I weigh in on Mondays. I weigh on Wednesdays (the day of surgery) and I am down a pound or two. Today it was a pound. I don't know if I can do the X-mas challenge because I don't want to weigh on Mondays .

Ok kiddo's so far the weigh in's are as follows:

If you choose not to weigh in, just track weight loss, let me know your goal.

Rita Ann: That was really sweet of you. Thank you so much. It means a lot to get some encouragement from a fellow bandster! I did a little better today so I hope I can get through the next couple of weeks without too much damage.

Congratulations!!!:clap2: Way to go, landing your new job! That sounds like a really great gig to me. I've always liked the atmosphere in my OB/GYN's offices. Best of luck in your new job. After next Monday, keep us posted on how you like it and how it's going!

Afternoon Kiddo's,

Seems like we have a pretty good start with the weigh in. I'm sure many will post later today. Remember weigh in only once a week. Next Monday is weigh day and I'm sure you will all do great!! Drink your Water and sip sip sip! Avoid sugary Snacks and carbs when possible! "thats a danger zone for me!" I believe is all of you and know you will do GREAT!!

P.S. if everyone meets goal that would equal a total loss of fat of a whopping 520-525lbs !!!!!

I'm here if you need me!

I was just starting to wear some more fitting clothes, as you can see in my picture but the only draw back at my new job is SCRUBS there are very comfortable but not the best ASStribute to my body if you know what I mean. hehehe

I'll keep you posted.

love me

Katt,

I have you updated and I know what it's like driving long distances with family. It can be fun but sometimes you wish your brain would shut down.

I'll post the list on Monday, after I recieve the weigh in's for the week.

I do hope everyone the best on the challenge.

Thought for the day: If you're feeling hungry, try a no or low sugar snack. frozen sugar free popcicles, sugar free Jello, or a small glass of skim milk with a 1/2 of a small banana. Might help hold you over till meal time.

Ok have updated the list, and have a couple of new commers. Thanks to everyone for getting me the info.

To put a pic in the corner you can go to edit signature and look for avitar, thats where you would save it.

WOW our list is growing!

Lifelongband if you choose to weight in on Wed. I'm sure thats ok just keep me posted. Post your start weight so I can update.

Hi all,

I was scheduled for a fill today. However, yesterday someone posted rules for a good fill. I can't find it anywhere. One of the rules was not to get a fill right before or during your period. Today, I called my surgeon's office and told them that I just got my period today. They cancelled my fill until next week. If it wasn't for that person who posted the rules for a good fill, I wouldn't have known the information. Evidently, my surgeon's office agreed with this. It was an excellent article.

If anyone read that post yesterday and remembers where I could find it, let me know.

[want2lose 1]

Em, I think this is the thread you are referring to. I agree that it had some great advise to follow.

Gosh Dang,

I am so dang hungry today, I know I know, we all know what to do and stay away from the empty calories. I just can't believe how hungry I feel. It's not head hunger, it's the real thing. I just gotta stay on track.
