Count me in, it was a great way to keep me on track.

[TxArcher 2]

Well, since my Vday challenge went well and it helped keep me focused...What the heck. I will do another one of these! I just joined the gym last night so I think I will be able to make 20 pounds by spring.

That will put me weighing less than when I got married! that was in January of 2000! WOW!

[Longhorn 1]

Considering I'm averaging a pound a week, I'm going to set my goal based on that average, which, coincidentally, will take me to ONEDERLAND, the same goal I had for the Valentine's Day Challenge. :cursing:

As typical for this slow loser (and not having good restriction) my goal will be low. Plus I hate to overshoot and be disappointed, so I will post a goal of 5 pounds, one a week.

SADES: First day of spring is March 20. (Your Autumn I would guess). so we have five weeks for this challenge!

You set an aggressive weight loss. Routing for you to make it!

With the right fill, we'll both have a chance!

[Sades 4]

If I don't start losing aggressively Shortgal then I will feel this whole process is just another diet that fell by the wayside. I hope the next fill is the one for both of us.

[shortgal 5]

I know this can work, but I still have a lot of mental challenges to work on for this to be successful, LONG TERM.

Right now I feel the band just helps me slightly to stay on course, my brain is fighting my band. I think the amount I've eaten sometimes is "too little" to sustain a person, so I know some times, I'm head hungry.

How do I get enough Protein without too many calories? How do I get enough nutrients/vitamins/calcium in my food without too many calories? How do I get enough Fiber and so on? This is what my brain tells me, in an attempt to get me to eat more.

If I am going to be successful, long term, I have to work on this now! I'm trying. I wait the hour after eating and then drink Water and I realize that if I wait a half hour after eating, I am more satisfied than I think, but I know I could eat more, if I allowed myself to. And I am still counting the time to my next snack or meal.

I now have a mental image of my brain and stomach arguing over these things, kind of like the images of a devil in one ear and an angel in the other, helping us make a decision.

This is not an easy road, for sure.

Well, I'm going to sign on and try this. I don't know how to do all the little weight trackers and icon things so I'll start out simple and maybe I'll get it after awhile. Congrats to all of you out there!!
