I noticed that the September 07 bandster's are doing this, so i would like to be a copy cat in the Tenacious Tens group.

Most of us are very recently filled or are still awaiting their fill. weight loss tracking isn't really important until after fill number one as we are in the healing phase right now, but i still thought it might encourage us to post now, and then post again next month.

i am one month out from surgery on the 18th. my weight loss for this month is 12 lbs. i'm surprised that i have not gained, as i am eating horribly.

my goal in the next month is to exercise at least 15 times in the gym, and start some other work outs at home. my goal in the next month is also to count calories 98% of the time and not allow my self freebies over the weekend.

so, if you do not want to put your weight loss yet becuase we are healing, then let us know your goals for next month. this way we can all work towards them together, and we are held accountable.

My January goal is to get my second fill and hope that it gives me some restriction so that I will eat more sensibly and start losing weight again...

:clap2:

I haven't set up any mini weight loss goals (maybe I should) as I wanted to focus more on changing and improving my eating habits rather than focussing on the scales....having said that ... I have been losing about a kilo a week and this is with only one fill and what seems like no restriction yet so I am very very happy. My goal for the next month - weigh less than this month.

Hi there,

Okay, I have quite a few goals for this year, but let's just start with January. I had my surgery on October 4th. I've lost 20 lbs since pre-op. I think this third fill is finally close to my sweet spot! I exercise everyday, so my goal for January is to lose an additional 10 lbs.

278 here I come!

Happy New Year everyone!

My goal for January is 15 pounds....I'm working hard!

From my goals I posted on 11/28

Goals:

1. Continue logging my calories religiously and planning ahead for the next day I had actually stopped journaling... so I'm going to get back on that. I know it works.
   
2. Try to consume more solid protien and less protien drinks I have not been eating enough protien, mainly because I am not tracking...or planning ahead
   
3. Reach for 70-80 grams or Protein per day Only been getting about 40 average, have not been drinking shakes
   
4. Walk 3 days a week on my lunch break Stopped walking because the rain has moved in and I've been sick
   
5. To be in anywhere in the 220's by the end of December Miraculously I have reached THIS goal!!! OMG, not sure how, but I am now 227 woo hoo.

New Goals to reach by February:

1. Get back to logging my food every day
   
2. Reach my protein goal of 60-80 grams per day
   
   
3. Exercise 3 days a week and make it to the gym
   
4. Eat less sugar and refined carbs, put protein first
   
5. Measure my food or keep closure track of portions
   
6. Be under 220 by Feb 1 (10 lbs a month)
   

Let's do this!

Ok, I'm hoping that by putting down my goals here (amongst others) that I will be held accountable!!

Banded: Oct. 17

Total Weight Lost: 28.5 (yes, I DO count .5 lbs)

Goals:

1) Drink 120 oz. Water EVERY day

2) Start adding Protein powder to food

3) STOP eating fast and getting food stuck

4) CHEW CHEW CHEW (I think someone else also said that)

5) Start walking/biking/MOVING at least 3x a week

6) STOP beating myself up when I feel I've eaten something 'bad' -- there is no 'bad', this is a lifetime commitment...

Glad this thread was started!

We can do this!! I'm very excited about the New Year and being a big loser myself!!

NOW this is restriction.</p> <p>dlyrical... does anyone understand how to transfer your ticker? to postings? their directions don't work?</p>

dlyrical: if you go to www.tickermaker.com you can create your own ticker there (you will need to supply a 'pin' (or password) to be able to login to update your weight loss.

Then go to http://www.lapbandtalk.com/usercp.php (CP User on the toolbar at the top) and copy and paste your toolbar in the 'Edit Signature' part.

Then to update your toolbar, all you have to do is click on it and it will take you to the website to sign in (with pin again) and you update your weight or whatever and click 'next'. It saves your changes and updates all your toolbars.

Hope that helps.
