I just realized that March will be here day after tomorow... and that means summer time is just around the corner.

I figured that losing 12 pounds by June 1st is doable (couldnt decide if I wanted to go for the full 15 or just 10 pounds, so I split it :cool: ) ! That's 12 pounds in 3 months. And that should put me well below that almighty 200 mark.

Is there anyone that would like to do this with me? ...please???

Oh Yeah Paula I'm in!!! I'll have my band on my side and I'm getting ready to fight that 12 pounds down!!!

Would love it!!! I've done so well but have been making some wrong food choices lately...

Our doc sets our goals at 1-2 pounds per week, so I would like to lose at least that and get back on track too!!! Wanna get a bicycle in the spring!!!

Sooooo.....I would like to lose 1-2 by then which would make it 12-24 pounds. IS that unrealistic? I will be happy with 12, excited with 18, and ecstatic with 24.....so count me in.....!!!

How do we do this??? Report every Monday? Friday? Saturday...

It's your challenge...so it's your call!

Thanks! Just what I needed!

Paula,

I am in! I am on this plateau what seems like a year. I am ready to get past it!

Thanks,

Wade

Jamie, you are going to smoke us... that 12 pounds is gonna be gone the first week youre banded!!!

Nancy, oh heck, I dont know about any rules... we can report in on Monday's, thats a good day.

Thanks a million - I need this badly!

Thanks Wade... whatever rules you guys want to have - post em! I'll go for anything!

Count me in! Paula are you Ok to lead the posts? So that we can find the right thread? I am still new so I would love to get some motivation from others!

Hey Paula: I am so there. I gotta get this weight loss back on track. I have been slacking lately with food choices as well. I started yesterday with a liquid fast to purge my system of all sugary stuffs. Now guess what? I am craving sugary stuffs. LOL!!!! SIGH!! The PAIN oh THE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!

I think I can lose 12 lbs in three months for sure. That would put me in the high 220's. I would be ecstatic.

Paula~I'm GONNA BE SMOKEN AND LOSIN!!!! I guess it really isn't fair I should say I need to lose at least 25 pounds by then ! PAULA~whata ya think????

I THINK I CAN... I THINK I CAN... I THINK I CAN

Paula~ Mondays are good!

I'm in! A 12-lb. loss will put me at 199 for the first time in years. I'd like to get there before June 1, but I've finally learned not to rush myself. I would, however, like to wear shorts before Labor Day -- without having my flabby knees touch each other, that is. Maybe when June rolls around I'll start a shorts challenge -- Bermudas, that is, not hot pants!

Awww Man Zoe got me all excited to think of going out and buying those hot pants. I might anyway. Hey I am game to post me in shorts hot pants or no. I think we should start a bathing suit thread in June. Who is with me?

A bathing suit thread? Are you thinking pictures? You won't catch me photographed in one, unless I could wear one of those Edwardian numbers with sleeves and a pouffy skirt that hits below the knees! Hey, they were considered sexy 100 years ago.

Penni! I'm WAY not in on that swim suit challenge. You just knock your self out! Maybe next year I'll start one HEHEHE!!!

O you guys - how about this one

Since I am not banded & have been free for alling the past month. For every poung i gain you guys have to loose that as well..... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

I crack my self up !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding you guys but hey I thought I would get in on the fun... But no I really wan't to wait before my liquid diet starts to set my goals. But I will be watching you all very carefully( not really-lol-no pressure) my little"ginny skinny pigs" You are all my inspiration & I wish you success.

I'm in, if guys are allowed to join =) 12 lbs will put me under 300 for only the 2nd time in the past 13 years. I figure I'll have a pretty hard time until March 10th when I get my first fill, then I should be on track...

Hey, count me in! I need to get that scale to move! Ahhhhhh, I'll pass on that bathing suit one, but sure would love to see you in your new one Penni!
