I'm leaving for my cruise June 29th, so I will be out in the middle of the ocean on July 4th, so I'll end mine a few days early. I've set my goal until June 29th! Okay, ladies, its on, lets get to the gym!

I REALLY need some accountability, folks!

I had to be completely unfilled last Friday and I need all the help I can get!

Let the games begin!

About the "LOST" collumn...since we are just starting from our current position, don't we put zero to begin? (Not what we've lost since surgery, right?)

I'm befuddled.

I sure hope my weightloss will pick up, its going so slow for some reason, I'm barely losing 1 pound in a week, if that! I was in October down to 167, then I was eating around the band, had to get on steroids for 6 weeks, and jumped clear back up to 184!

I've been exercising the past 3 weeks 6 days a week, I've been eating really good, and watching my portions. I got a fill on 4/7 and I'm pretty restricted for the most part. I still can eat regular bites of food, but I get full quick, so I don't think I need another fill. I just need to make sure I make the right food choices. Anyhow, I would love to lose 25 by the time my cruise comes around, and I'm actually going to aim at that, but I will be really happy to lose 19, so that will put me down to 160! I am just frustrated on how long it takes me to lose 1 freaken pound!

The last challenge I joined late, and was only in it for 3 weeks, but guess how much I lost by trying for 3 weeks - yep you guessed it, 2.7 pounds, thats it. I guess each pound I should be grateful for, but man, its hard work losing it.

I will continue to exercise and continue to plug away and hopefully will be on the road to reach my goal weight eventually which is 145!

About the "LOST" collumn...since we are just starting from our current position, don't we put zero to begin? (Not what we've lost since surgery, right?)

I'm befuddled.

I think so, thats the way I've always done it. Even though I've lost more, I want to keep track of what I lose during the "challenge", so I put my starting weight as of this morning down, and my goal weight I want to weigh at the end of the challenge, for me it will be June 29th, I leave for vacation that day and will not have access to scales - plus I probably won't be "trying" while on vacation. :thumbs_down:

I hear ya, Sunshine2! Except for our height, our numbers are almost identical...and I'm fighting it, too. We will all fight it out together...all of us! We will be smokin' for summer bathing suits!

[tonya66 13]

How tall are you Stef? I noticed our stats were very similar, even our age! I also don't live too far from you, I'm in Oklahoma.

Welcome everyone! Let's get this weight loss started. We all agree to start our lost column at Zero as we will change it once we start losing starting today. Let's go for those bathing suits! We can do it! Smoking hot bodies here we come!!!!
