MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I am ready for the next challenge. I did well until yesterday. Bad Bad day, but count it as a vegetable and move on. Have a great day! Congrats to all who met the Christmas Challenge.

I hope everyone had a very merry christmas. I didn't meet my Christmas challenge, missed it by 2# but I'm ready for a new one. Valentine's day sounds like a good one. So when do we want to start, Jan 1st, or 2nd? I have a feeling that 2007 is going to bring many good :clap2: changes for all of us and I can't wait.

HI All

I hope everyone had a safe and peaceful holiday. I didn't join you guys in the Christmas challenge, not sure why. I have been stagnant for a long time, about a month. I had a 2nd fill last week and have been getting a lot stuck over the weekend.

Anyway, I definitely think a V-Day challenge is a great idea. I almost thinnk we should start right away and forget about waiting until the new year (how many times have we started a diet on Jan 1st;) ).

Whats the magic # this time?? Its 7 weeks from today. I think 15 sounds reasonable and attainable but we could shoot for 20 if the majority wants????

Hey all. I hope Santa Claus was good to all of you. Santa wasn't that good to me, but Mrs. Santa sure made up for it!

I agree with you ThreeBeauties....now is as good a time to start as any. And 15 pounds should be attainable. But whatever y'all decide, old Jimboss is in on it!

Everyone have a SAFE one this New Year's Holiday! And by the way, this is the first time in my life that I relish being a "loser"! Whew!

Hi All!

hope your holiday weekend was wonderful!

Back at work today... YUCK.

Didn't make the Christmas Challenge... lost 4.5... was kinda down about that but its still losing.

Todays my 2 month bandiversary and 27 pound in 2 months still makes me smile.

I kept saying my xmas present to myself would be cheekbones and I think you can see the difference in my face so all in all I think we're all doing great.

My 2007 bring us all sorts of wonderfulness!

Hi Everyone (again)

Like I said earlier, I ddin't join the Christmas challenge but I am so proud of all of you. We are all doing great!!

I don't think it makes one bit of difference whether any of us met the goal or not. In my opinion, whats important is that we have a goal and we continue to move forward and make progress. That is why I want to join the Valentines Day Challenge. I will do my best to make the challenge but its the comraderie and support that I am really interested in.

Good luck, may cupid bring us cheekbones, hip bones, clothes that fit and an overall sense of well-being:)

I agree, it is very realistic. Especially when they say 6 to 8Lbs. a month is the norm! I haven't even had my first fill yet, and I am averageing 7Lbs. a month. So it should be do-able "hope I spelled that rght." for a lot of people. So common all you bandsters. Lets start doing this as soon as you can, because valentine's day is not that far away.

By the way in the beginning of February. I go in for Total Knee Replacement. I don't no if I will be able to step on a scale, but I will

surely try. Happy New Year every one... Shirley...:clap2:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
