I guess I"ll join the challenge, though I'm rather sick of being a failure.

5 weeks = 10lbs for me.

I've just started going out to the local lake with a friend of mine. She's like a drill sergeant, "jog to this tree", "run to that trash can", "if you can talk you can jog!". She kicked my ass yesterday morning! We did a mile and a half in about 20 minutes and boy am I sore today. But that was only Day 1 for us, and we're going to do it 3 days a week at 6am before work. With her beside me, I can accomplish great things. This ball is going to start rolling, I just know it. :)

Well I am 182.8 today. (I have to post it so I will remember next week what I weighed.) My low so far! YAY!

To no longer be obese that would mean I need to lose 8 lbs. That will be my goal.

Thanks for keep track and good luck to everyone!:)

Good for you!!! I'm sure it will help. Wish I had a friend like that :)

Hey Beautiful Bandsters!

How are those smaller sizes fitting these days? :)

Anyone on here being banded between June 8,9,10,11? I would like to talk to you about being part of my project.

Thanks again for the trip tips. I booked my flight, room and car rental today. I am staying at the Marriott Hotel by Meadows Mall in Littleton. It's near the intersection of 470 and 25 if I remember correctly.

I'll be arriving on Sunday about 3 PM. Planning on taking advantage of that cushy bed at the Marriott. Please tell me some good places to check out.

I have a coupon and the chance to add a trip to Silverthorne outlet. Is this place worth it? Or one of the overpriced outlet malls. Let me know before I buy a field trip to this place.

Do we know how many are coming to RR? I am so very thrilled to be coming out there this time. I know it will be a tremendous trip.

Again, please let me know if you are on the band list for the time I will be coming out there.

Those of you who I have talked to about being part of my film project will be hearing from me this week with those questions and we also can work out a good time to get together.

Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!:):thumbup::smile:

Lap,

My two cents is that the Silverthorne outlet is not worth the time or money, I have never found great bargains there. If you are into thrift stores, there is a huge one close to Dr. K's office called Savers, and that is worth a visit. Especially since we are all shrinking and not staying in our sizes very long!

Can somebody remind me of our next Red Robin date and time? Sorry, I forgot to write it down.

Happy weekend everybody.

Dee, please put my goal for -5 for the next challenge, thanks.

Every time I have gone for a fill I go to the thrift store Unique. It is close to the office and Natalie and Mary recommended it. I haven't left yet without finding something there. The jeans are less than $5. It is huge and you can try it all on. I love going there. I have it saved in my Garmin right beside Dr. K's address.

I figure if I am going to drive 7 hours then I better get to shop too. :)

For the challenge I really want to hit 70 lbs down, so I am going to aim for 9 lbs this time. I am going to have to kick my self in the butt, cuz I finally have the time to exercise as much as I want. I just need to do it.

Dee, put me down for 6 pounds. I weighed in at 173 today.

I can't believe how much weight I have lost. I have people who I haven't seen in awhile who almost didn't recognize me. This is the smallest I have been in 25 years. I went shopping today with my daughter and I a am wearing a regular x-large and size 14 pants. I think I could fit in a size smaller but my "extra skin" is getting in the way. It looks horrible. Especially my legs. My skin is hanging and wrinkly.:) How I wish that I could get it taken care of. Anyone know of a plastic surgeon who gives special pricing on self-pay. I wish I could find a "Dr. K" of plastic surgery.

I know what you mean Bella. I talk about this all the time. I know someday I will get PS, but I have another 4 1/2 years until I have my lapband surgery paid off so I will have to wait until then unless something else happens.

Depressing to know that it will be 5 years before I can get this extra gross skin taken care of and my breast will keep sagging until then too. I think I would even be happy with my body now if I could have PS. I think I would be able to fit into a size 10 then (I am wearing a size 12 now) and I never even thought about wearing a size smaller than that.

I am getting to the point where I can tell a difference in my shoulders and face. I even wore a tank top when I went golfing with my hubby yesterday!!! That is a NSV!

Hi Dee,

I would like to join in on the July 4 challenge. My B-day is June 20, and if I mind my p's and q's, I can hit 50 pounds as a present to ME! Weighing in weekly helps me out a lot.

Mary

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
