Hey everybody. Fenton and I have decided to engage in a face off weight lose challenge. We both have been struggling a little bit and thought the competition would help. We will be weighing in each Moday and posting our results in this thread. If anyone would like to join us feel free.

I will try to update this thread each Monday adding to our totals.

We began this challenge last week.

Also, trash talk is welcomed, bee-otches :wink2:

Starting numbers:

Fenton - 380

PRCowboy - 422

Chellenge won number of weeks:

Fenton ~ 0

PRCowboy ~ 1

Week 1 Results:

Fenton - 380 ~ +1

PRCowboy - 417 ~ -5

Hang in there Fenton. I expect you to blow me away next week. Good Luck!

BigRick - down 57 lbs - that should be enough inspiration ! Keep at it...

Hi Guys Feeling pretty good about things right now. Went to see the Shrink today stepped on his scales lost another 4 lbs (that brings me to 285). He likes to see his patients loose 3% body weight or more be for surgery and I have lost 8% that I have done my part to get ready. Tomorrow I will just be another guy with the Band working on getting Healthy and Skinny.

See you on the other side

Awesome, goat! I'm still holding @302. I think the scales are starting to swing, though.....adding in some walking on the treadmill, of all things seems to be very effective for me.

So Old Goat, by now you have joined the ranks or as I write this you are on the table getting it done, either way my heartfelt congratulations on the first step of your journey!

Nothing gained, nothing lost. Holding at 254 (which is pretty weird, I think - I usually fluctuate quite a bit). Oh well. Patiently waiting for 240's...

Hi Guys: Feeling pretty good again just returned from the Doctors, staple removal day and the official scales. Pat on the back dropped another 10lbs down to 275lbs and start solid food today. You remember cottage cheese, string cheese, a little deli Turkey.

Well FINALLY downward movement after a long stagnant time and I am below the 300 mark for the first time in more than 15 years!

Great news BigRick. As for the Old Goat no pat on back gained 2 lbs last week. But weigh in for me is now Sunday the start of a new week, will adjust my Ticker then.

254...AGAIN ! Think I have to shake it up a bit. I actually lost like 4 ounces, but it has been a while on the 254 handle. Did make it through Thanksgiving and some work related travel without gaining - I'll try a little extra before Christmas comes to move the scale a bit...

Hi Guys: Well I dropped the two pounds that I gained and quite a few more Sunday weighed in at 266. Thats a 9 pound loss from 11/26/08 think I'm still on the just banded Honeymoon.

Remember to watch out for Xmas foods, and surly you wont let a 70 year old goat bet you in the race to good health?:wink:

Down to 295 for me, finally have the kind of restriction I needed and am moving downward once again. What has happened to Fenton? He was one of the starters here and no word from him, anybody know?

down a pound this week. slow going, but if I can make it through the holidays without gaining anything (knock wood) I'll be happy. im going for a fill Jan 12. Haven't had one of those in 5 months....

Old Goat here on the go down another 5 pounds off in the last two weeks. Man have I been starving but had my first fill on 12-16 2.5 cc and another on 12-23 2 cc for a total of 4.5 cc. Still on liquids and mushes so not sure if it will help the hunger. Guys have a Merry Christmas and a Merry New Year

good going goat. hopefully with the fills the hunger will subside. have a merry one yourself !

I haven't been on the board for a while but remember you and others mentioning hitting a wall. Glad to hear the your gettig past it and happy with your loss......

I'm still preband and doing the monitored weight loss exercise but my heart isn't really into it...my insurance changes next week and I hope once I see their requirements I'll get excited again....

Good luck and wish you all continued weight loss....
