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,

thanks MM! I probably should have shot a little higher, but glad I didn't - I am tighter than I ever have been ( except the unfill time) and I haven't lost a thing this week. Not sure why I am so tight - I haven't had a fill since Sept.

First Xmas W/out pigging out. Surf & turf last night (2 bites of lobster tail & 2 bites of Filet) must be the trick - LOL - for losing 3 lbs this wk w/3 to go...Plus 3rd Fill tom.

Happy Holidays All~

I think I have ate more food in the last 4 days than I have eaten in months. I am afraid to get on the scale and weigh myself.

I have had people at my house for 2 days. A lot of cooking and eating. Plus, everyone brings over the cookie trays and all the other goodies.

I will be so glad when the holidays are over and I can get back to normal.

When everyone left today, I sent as much of the leftovers home with everyone as they would take. What was left, I threw. I know that is a terrible waste, but I knew if it was left here, I would just keep eating it.

Anyway, hope you all had a good Christmas, and that you have more will power than me.

I have failed miserably at this challenge.

My weight has stalled - I'm playing with the same 2 pounds over and over again. Here's my current results back UP

wombat - I'm playing with the same 4-5 pounds. I go from being 305 to like 300.8 or something like that. I can just never see 299... It's pissing me off... and at the same time I know its all the COOKIES I been eating. Ugh. Well, lucky me, woke up with a toothache, so no sweets today! I have 1 week to get to 299. Come heck or high water I WILL get there - even if it's only for one shining moment...

I made it by 4 DAYS!!!!

I did not think I could budge the 3/4 pounds up and down for 2 wks, but after my third fill Wed - I dropped 5!!! I see 125 by summer, I swear I do., HA! Happy NYR all~~
