Hi Everybody,

I am a June bandster and would like to join you all here. I have fiddled around and lost about 40 pounds since my surgery in June. The past month I just haven't paid as much attention as I did in the early stages and now I would like to get serious about dropping another 20 pounds by the end of the year. I would like to have an average loss of 10 pounds per month so I need to kick it up a notch.

If you would like to join me in this challenge just copy and paste and we will keep a running total.

Best of Luck,

I'm adjusting I guess that 211 was a fluke or my scale had a bizzare day! I was 213.4 the day before and I should have known something was up when I dropped 2.4 pounds in a day!!! Then TOM came and I gained 4 pounds (on top of the 213.4)...NOW TOM is over and I'm back to 213.4....so...I am going WAY conservative on my challenge, because it's tough enough to lose weight, for me, over the holidays...I'm just not going to stress about it...if I see ANY loss between now and NY I'll consider it a victory!

TOM & Turkey Day has been tuff! Walking 90mins/850cal a day to break into the 170's - .5 to go and NOT coming off fast enough. 2nd fill next wk, hopefully that will ignite things. Fingers crossed.

Good Luck All~

What happened to all my wonderful restriction? :faint:I've had 4 stinkin' fills already and I want to just scream ... or cry ... or something :rolleyes

I gained a pound, lost a pound, played with 1/2 pound up and down and now .... I'm down a whopping 0.2 pounds

Hi All Thanksgiving to New Years Challengers:

I guess I'm a little bit chart challenged. I wanted to update my current weight on the chart but ended up screwing it up. Could one of you more experienced bandsters please update my current weight to show 237, with 7 pounds to go? Thank you.

I got my second fill on 11/21 and the results are adding up quickly - yippee! Maybe this is my sweet spot.

I love my band.:whoo:

Sue

Sue, I am glad to see that I am not the only one who is chart challenged. I seem to screw it up a lot of the time also.

Updated for ya!

Welcome to two-ter-ville! Congratulations.

Sue

Thats soooo awesoemm Holliwags!!! Congrats!

I hope to be joining you sooooooooooooooon!

Holliwags!!! Congratz on TWOderville! Well done! Time for some new pictures??? :confused:

I have to say, I'd be telling my doc to go jump in a lake if he had me on 6 months of mushies and liquids. I got the band so I WOULN'T feel hungry, and here your doc is, not letting you even USE your band....AND he's FILLING you and there is NO WAY he can know if you're at good restriction, underfilled, or overfilled if you're not eating solids. I'm sorry if I'm being offensive. I know most of us are very protective of our surgeons...but come on! The whole purpose of the band is to STOP the hunger by letting us EAT small portions of REAL food and feeling FULL!

Again...I'm so sorry for my rant, but I feel for you...I have SO much respect for you for staying on liquids and mushies for over 5 months! You have SO much more will power than most!!
