Hi guys,

I really hoped to code some neat stuff for the new challenge, but with some new challenges in my own life (newly single dad, new pastor, moving to a new house in a new town, you know, little things like that =) ) I just haven't had the chance.

I have, however, set up a new challenge, beginning this Monday and ending ON Labor Day.

On Monday, please weigh in and post your beginning weight here. If you don't want your weight posted, tell me to post it as "0", and we'll only track what you've lost, not what you weigh.

Peace,

Jonathan

I finnaly did it up,ed my calories and lost a few more pounds 223.4. weighed in at. 88 pounds Gone even went to JC.Pennys and bought size 32 pants. PANTS of a normal mens rack after 24 years of being over weight!

OK guys I am logging in my weight loss today. I have lost 8 lbs since last Monday. WHOO HOO!! I am down to 226. That is 70 lbs gone total. And for this challenge it is 12 lbs so far. I have met my goal of 10 in 10 weeks. I am so thrilled.

Congratulations Penni! Oh man... it's only 9:00 but I'm nervous about stepping on the scale tomorrow morning! And we all KNOW what we do when we get nervous!

No, no, NO!!! Get thee behind me evil FRIDGE!

I won't eat! I WON"T! I WON'T!!!

I'm gonna go sit in the bathtub with a nice big glass of diet Snapple and go to bed so I can get up in the A.M. and face the dreaded numbers!!

Gnash, gnash....

Today I weighed in at 261. That's 17lbs down for the challenge, and 44 lbs since being banded 4 months ago.

I am down to 220. Thats 60 down since January, 45 down since surgery on Feb 28th.

Sorry, I missed weigh in last week, I was on vaca!!

Patty

still no change for me. This is frustrating. But i'm still down a size.

Im going to confess.... Im down to 182 but only b/c Ive been taking 1/2 a diet pill for the last couple of days.

So If you guys want to kick me out of here, you can - since my weightloss is NOT band alone... sniffle sniffle. (Im still going to claim it though )

Weighed in at 226 this morning... I thought for sure I'd drop at least 2 pounds.. I finally joined the gym and went 4 times last week, upped my water intake greatly and only "splurged" once last week on sweets... Hmmmmm Hope next week I can get over this "lose a pound gain a pound" phase I'm in! Happy Monday to you all!

I'm down 1 lb. from last week. I weighed 185 today. That's 7 lbs. total for the challenge. Am going camping this week so hopefully will get a lot of exercise in and not a lot of food!!! Okay--Maybe a Smore or two!?!

Congratulations everybody on your weight loss and especially you Penni--WAY TO GO!!!

im down 1 pound from last week... I cant get off this 1 pound thing... its like 1 pound on 1pound off... Well just 4 more days until my fill. I really hope it helps! Im so really to get out of these 300's!!!!

WHOO HOO!!

Down 2!

I had 2 pounds this week...that puts me 1 pound over my goal of 15 so anything now is just a plus....Hope to get my 1rst fill this week...

ok weighted in at 288 today.not sure where that puts me for the challange. but i have lost 20 pounds total since july 3rd. On 7-3 i weighted in at 308. Keep up the good work everyone!!

If i looked at the scale a certain way,i lost 1/2 lb..LOL. So,i guess that counts as a big "0" I had .."woman problems" this week,so hopefully i`ll lose more next week. Going for another fill august 11! Ive been able to eat WAAAAY to much!!Plus hopefully im gonna start going to the gym too (i HATE the gym!! I need to get gym-motivated hehe)

Im going to confess.... Im down to 182 but only b/c Ive been taking 1/2 a diet pill for the last couple of days.

So If you guys want to kick me out of here, you can - since my weightloss is NOT band alone... sniffle sniffle. (Im still going to claim it though )

As if! The band is a tool. It takes more than just a hammer to build a house. If it takes more than one tool for you to lose weight, I'd say you fall somewhere in the "normal" category.

As for me, when I don't take my anti-depressant, I binge. Thankfully the band doesn't allow much of that...

Anyway, nobody's kicking you anywhere =)
