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???

hello every one 276 after breakfast. well have a nice day most of all God bless!!!

I don't suppose anyone would think a weight gain challenge would be very funny? Cause that's one I know I could win.

Love the new avatar, DeLarla! I am on a chocolate tear today, and I'm starting a week of steroids, so I might take you up on the weight-gain challenge this coming week. My ass is bigger than yours, nyah-nyah!

Thank you, Zoe, but do I accept your weight gain challenge even though you have the steroid advantage? Sometimes ya just gotta laugh!

I would appreciate if we could keep this thread from being hijacked to a "weight gain challenge". This thread is for weight loss and those who are serious about the challenge

I'm sure all of those in this challenge will agree.

Thanks!

La Madam, the mini-hijack was just for a few cheap laughs for those of us anticipating a rough week. To avoid offending the serious, we will move these comments to a new thread. I'll start one, and anyone can follow: go to http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5613

Thanks Zoe, appreciate it!

Awww darnit it and I wanted to join that challenge. JUST KIDDING Michelle. I think the humor was lost somewhere. LOL!!! Let's get back to it. Come on everyone LAUGH a really big LAUGH with me OK. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Oops, is Michelle a moderator now, and did the new guidelines that were just initiated (the ones that say moderators can't dictate what we write) already change? Since when is a little humor considered a thread hijack? Every thread goes off topic, so why is this one suddenly being addressed, and why wasn't it addressed earlier during the "sciatica" hijack? It's called humor, some of us are having a hard time losing weight and if we don't laugh we'll cry. I want to lose weight just like everyone else. I'm back. Ease up.

Just so everyone knows i erased my two comments myself- didn't feel like causing any waves.

Back on track ... =) I'm coding a way for you all to update your own weights on the "Weight Loss Challenege" website. Bear with me for a couple of days and it'll be up and updated.

Oh, and I'm up 2 lbs. I got a 1 cc fill on Thursday, but as of yet, it's worthless.

The whole weightloss challenge has me baffled right now. I thought getting the band would remove the need to challenge myself or anyone else, but without the ability to get a fill, it's just me and Willpower right now. And Willpower is for the most part, non-existent. What's everyone doing different now (for this challenge) to lose? I was enjoying too many cocktails but cut back and only had one this weekend. Next weekend I'm going for zero. I wasn't a big drinker before the band (well, back in my 20s I partied too much.) For me it's a deep rooted sugar addiction. Booze quenches that need, so when I'm not having drinks I'm craving soda. Go figure, I started drinking after getting the band but quit soda. Now I'm quitting booze and drinking soda. Sugar is gonna kill me one way or another.

Lisa,

for so long I wondered the same thing. I didnt even like to 'visit' here b/c everyone was losing, and I wasnt - so it depressed me.

This second fill has done it for me... once you get a fill, things will be different (you know this already).

How much longer will it be before you get that shiny new port (along with a fill)?

hi all

welli only got to shed .5 this week and that was only if i was leaning over a bit on the scales and holding my breath ...lol

Still half a pound is better than nought

love trace

There's no port in my immediate future. Even if I heal, I can't put out any more money till I pay down a few grand.
