Someone should do one of these where it goes off of percentage of weight lost like they do on that show Biggest Loser. It would be easy you'd just type in your starting weight at the time the competition starts under your ending weight at the time the competition ends like this 200/210 = 9.5% lost. That way ppl that weigh 500 pounds can compete fairly with ppl who weigh 250 etc. Does this make sense? Maybe you could do one like that Julie? Im too lazy to host one myself lol.

Great idea Kari. I've already put it in my calendar as a reminder for next month!

Hi JQ,

So glad your back, we all missed you very much.

I am weighing in (went to the doc yesterday) at 233. I was at 231 a week ago, that's not good. Going for a fill Tuesday.

Welcome back,

It's encouraging to read all of the posts of bandster role models. I'm not banded yet, but I want to be a good bandster that reaches the regular diet of high Protein, low fat, vegies and fruits - AND incorporate physical activity into my life forever. I know I will struggle with this. I've lost a little over a 1000 lbs in my lifetime - I'm very good at losing, not so good at keeping it off.

I'm very nervous about being a failure again with the band. How do long term bandsters get past that? Will I always be afraid that I'm going to gain it back? Is that just the way it is after people reach their goal?

Thanks everyone for posting here. Exercise is such a big piece of weight loss, but doesn't seem to get as many hits as other subjects. I'm going to try and do better. I think I'm just lazy! I like to sit on the couch and watch TV.
