I thought having the next challenge go to the first day of summer, June 21st, would be motivating. That's almost 7 weeks. Then for the summer we could have a "summer meltdown" challenge if everyone agrees. I'll kick it off!

Good luck everyone!!

Okay so i went for a 1 month follow up with the doc. I lost a total of 8lbs. I had to have an unfill of .22cc's due to pbing almost daily. He told me that I am doing well, even though i have been feeling a little blue about the whole eating experience. I really do not enjoy going out for dinner as it is scary, painful sometimes, and food gets cold.....just a little whinny, dont mind me......

Anyhow, i am hoping that i reach my 10 lb goal by the 21st, as i lost alot after the last fill, and then gained too:thumbdown:

I hope everyone will update soon, to see how we are all doing is very encouraging for me.

Thanks again guys,,,,,Debbie

OK, I'm confused. I had to take a pound off this list as it was a pound higher than my post from last week. Didn't lose this week...yet!

Edited June 11, 200818 yr by cindyg1212

I got my list from copy/paste from page 7 from lindata. So i am confused as to the correct list? Can anyone clear this up? I updated my wt loss from that list......

thanks, Debbie

That list had me 1.5 lbs heavier so I found the one before which had my correct weight loss which I assume is the latest one.

I am still struggling to get off the weight I gained in Vegas. I am still up 1 pound but I am going to do the 5 Day Pouch Test this test and I am hoping it will help get me back on track. I can still meet my goal so I am going to try very hard.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is the '5 Day Pouch Test'?

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

This is a web site that i found on another thread,,,,hope this answers your quesitons. I was curious also so i researched it. I believe i will try on my next week off work..... (i work 7 on 7 off). If you try it, let me know how you all do?

Thanks, Debbie

So far the 5 day pouch test is good. I am on day 3 which is soft protein. I've had 1 boiled egg and for lunch I made up 6 ounces of tuna with 1 boiled egg and some light mayo. I ate about 1/2 of it and I am eating the rest now. I really feel like it has helped. I lost 1.6 after the 1st 2 days.

Thats awesome for you......sometimes i think we need to settle down a little and get back to some basics....almost like jump starting the wt loss again....let us know how you made out by the end of the 5 days, and then in a week from then.....just to see if it will stay off or not.

Thanks for being the guinea pig for us

hugs, Debbie:lol:

I haven't been here for a long time. I get to actually post a loss! Yesturday when I weighed, I saw 205.7! I think all the exercising I've been doing lately is really helping. I was so motivated I got on my bike and ended up riding 20 miles! It was such a nice morning. I rode to a lake and back. I hope to keep working hard and hopefully lose the next 5-6 lbs so I can be closer to my goal.

Dropped below 300 today!

Hi All,

Haven't been on the forum much lately, just a busy time of year for me and haven't had much to report.

Finally can report a measly two pound loss so I'm at 173.

Just didn't have time to copy and paste list today.

TXARCHER: Way to go! Below 300 is great!

Just call me the One Pound Wonder! :cursing:

Ok, just a few days left till the end of this challenge. The first day of summer is Saturday. I was thinking we could have a Summer Meltdown Challenge until Labor Day. That would give us a little over 2 months to really get some weight off. What do you all think? Is almost 10 weeks too long for a challenge or would that be OK?
