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???

Well I'm 2 weeks post op and still down 10 pounds! I started mushy's and the pounds are holding on for dear life. Oh well I know when I get a fill I will start losing again and besides I lost 13 poounds before I got my band for a total of 23 lost in all. I'd say I'm off to a great start!!! Only that last 10 counts towards the challenge though! Hoping to get to a total of 25 by the end of the challenge!!! Thats just 15 more pounds to go!!!

My weight was 202 today. My original starting weight day of surgery was 217 (not 212 like the waisting away site says, can i get that fixed??). So I have lost a total of 15 lbs thus far.

I've been using the starting weight on the day that people joined the challenge. I thought that was the way to be the most fair to those who joined the challenge when it started.

(If Paula wants to change that "rule", I certainly will -- it's her challenge =) )

Awesome weight loss though! Congratulations =)

Jenna & Jamie- Great jobs girls!

Jonathon- I am out of the challenge because I haven't been dieting AT ALL- Still waiting to get a date on banding & the stress is killing me- I've had a last super that has lasted for weeks now;0)

BUt keep my name up & I will join soon.

Great job everyone

Actually, I joined 3 days before I went to surgery, which weight was 217. But it took me awhile to get listed and didn't get listed till after I had gotten back and lost a bit already! But it is ok, if it must stay that is ok. I am going to ROCK this lap band once I can start exercising again! Thanks Crystal for the wooots!

Ah, right you are. I found your post, and you did indeed ask to join before your banding. I've changed your starting weight to 217. Congrats again. =)

195... -2 fom last week.

OK, Im getting excited about this. I might actually make it to a 12 pound loss by June 1st!

I think we are almost 1/2 way there... 5 weeks down already.

If anyone else wants to join, feel free. At this point, your goal is to lose 7 pounds in 7 weeks.

And to the winner *the one that has lost the MOST* I will donate a small sum of money to their favorite charity!!!

Where's Big T & Ladiebird?

Great Job Paula!

You're in.

Hey Jonathan... how are you doing with the new fill???

Zoe, I'm up to 322, but the x99 race is still on, and I'm getting my butt in gear, so you'd better step it up!

Will have to look around for a scale to weigh in today. If I don't find one I will just keep the same weight. LOL!!

Good job to the losers and WHOO HOO to the ones that stayed the same. NO GAIN!!

I should have wated till today to give my update. I weighed yesterday and was down 10 pounds since surgery. I weighed this morning and I had lost a pound .... so I've lost 11 pounds in all!!! That puts me at 241!!!That means I hit 12 pounds but I'm not stopping there I came in to challenge saying I would lose 25 so I'm gonna keep on losing!!!!
