Hello June 07 Bandsters,

I don't know about everyone else but I have stalled out a little the past couple of months and am looking to kick my motivation back into gear.

Hopefully you all will join me in getting ready to make 2009 the best year of our lives. My goal is to be under 200 pounds by January 1, 2009. Only a few pounds to go to get there but it will take some serious effort.

Lets start sharing our ideas, our frustrations and our victories! We have come this far and I am really excited about what comes next.

Compared to where I was before my band I feel so much healthier, so much younger and in general so much more alive. But I want more .... eventually I want to get to my ultimate goal weight of 154 pounds. My gut feeling is that most of you are wanting more out of your lives too.

So I challenge you to join me in jump starting the goals we set in June of 2007.

You all remember how this works. Just copy and paste to update your information and we will keep a running total.

Hey Suzzzie,

Glad to have you. It has been a good week - at least I haven't gained. I am going to start exercising tomorrow. Just walking for the time being, unfortunately I had surgery two weeks ago so heavy exercise is still a month away.

Thanks,

Michelle

I am glad someone started this I have wanted to do this for a long time but I wasn't sure if anyone would join me. If I understand this right we have until the end of the year to get to our goal right? I want to do this so bad. I need a little butt kicking. Thanks!!!!

Hi Rhonda,

Welcome! I know we are all ready to get back on the "band"wagon. So far I think we are all setting very realistic goals.

Good Luck!

Michelle

I am in. I am just a little worried that I won't be able to do it. I have been at a plateau for 6 months now.

Hey all. Just checking in. I was on vacation so I haven't weighed... I'll wait until next friday, just in case I did any damage... haha!

Hi. I had such good intentions when I posted my goal. I guess my check-in is that I haven't lost anything. I got fill 2 days ago, so I am hoping that will kick things up a bit.

I had good intentions too. Have to get rid of all my kids halloween candy. Dh and I are basically the only ones eating it.

I hope you have room for another, I need this to keep me motivated to keep moving. Today I have had my 3oz of Protein for Breakfast, am working on my Water, and had my Vitamins.

I do not know about the rest of you but I have failed. I have gain 1 and 1/2 pounds instead of losing.
