I need a little extra push to drop these pounds. I figured a relatively long challenge might help me out.

Anyone is free to join. Use this template below. Copy the most recent stats from a previous post and add your name on the bottom row. You can weigh in any day you want, but I will be posting mine on Wednesdays.

Good luck everyone!

I think what the problem is is when people are adding themselves to the challenge, they are not using the LAST post with the names and numbers. Beach...are you saying you want to lose 65 pounds by labor day???I am not saying not to want to, I am just wondering if that is what you meant or is that your whole total left to lose is 65?

I hope I can do this!!! I think I can!!! I think I will!!!

Hi Everyone! On Wednesday, I am going for my 4th fill however, the last fill I had was 1 year ago my surgeon told me. I knew it was a long time but didn't realize it was that long. He said since I have a VG band (largest band I believe, holds 10cc's) you have to be more aggressive with the fills since it is larger. How come I wasn't told that earlier? Anyway, I am a bit nervous for it because don't want to feel too restricted that I feel sick alot. If he gives me 2cc's more I will have 8cc's in my band. I know this fill will definately help me to lose the 60 plus more pounds I would love to lose. Wish me luck it all goes well!! Good luck to everyone with this weight loss challenge!! I know we can all do it because we are all winners already!! Stay positive and smile...you will definately brighten another person's day plus you will feel great too just knowing you helped another person!! TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!
