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!

Thanks guys! My scale said 180.2 for three or so days, so I was really hoping to see a movement - I hate even three days of "stuck scale syndrome!" (yes, I'm addicted to the scale and yes I know that's not good!)

Nice Job on the 1lb Deanna! Jenifur, 3 lbs is GREAT! And Chickatee - hang in there!

YOU CAN SAY I AM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN JUST A 2LB. LOSS THIS WEEK. BUT I AM DETERMINED TO KEEP GOING, AND I WILL REACH MY GOAL. 2 LB. LOSS IS BETTER THAN A 2 LB. GAIN.

SWEETY.......................217...........215..............199........16

Sweety - they say you should average 1-2 lbs per week so you're at the high end of average! I say WAY TO GO! Also, it looks like you're newly banded which means you're in the oh-so-important healing phase. I think you did GREAT!

Banannie - great job on hitting the 170s!!

sweety - 2 lbs in a week is great!!! good job!

You are all doing so great. I was banded 1/31 and only just started loosing in June after my 3rd fill in my VG band (up to 8cc). With this challenge I am hoping to keep loosing. My Dr was so happy that I did not have to go in for my forth fill. Thank you loosing for starting this challenge.

I am using my weight as of this moring for my starting and current.
