I want to join! I would like to lose 15lbs. That will put me at 176....inconceivable. I need a push and this will give me a reason to not put off exercise!

I want to get in on this challenge too! I really need it.

I was banded on 10/08.....have lost 24 pounds to date and need something to motivate me. This is just the thing.

Lots of fellow banders to keep me accountable! :)

My goal is 12 pounds. I plan to reach this goal by exercising and staying away from those sweets that go down so easy!

Much success to everyone. Together we can do it! :tongue_smilie:

OK, first post and I'm in.

I was banded on June 9, 2008 at 362lbs maximum. Last time I weighed in was December 23 at 280lbs.

I'll go for 250lbs - or 30 lbs by Valentines day. It's aggressive, but I think I could pull it off if I add exercise to my day from now on.

Looking forward to reporting back.

Oh, BTW, the picture is at 60lbs down. I'll update on Valentines day.

Well, I have been doing 15-20lbs a month, so a challenge is to hit 30 in about 6 weeks.

Excercise, no alcohol (the holidays) and no treats - I should be able to achieve it or close to it.

I also have a fill on Feb 5

Good luck

Good to hear from everyone. It sounds like this is hitting home at a good time for everyone. I'm pulling for each and everyone to achieve their goal. Whether it's 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 pounds that Soon to be thin to targeting, all will be for our health. Fat will be a thing of our past.

I had a bad weekend because for some reason, I ate what seemed like to be more than my 3 oz. each meal. I didn't get full. I have my first fill on 1/25 so hopefully that will take care of not feeling full. It will also be good to get back to a exercise routine tomorrow. Since christmas I haven't walked at all and I irritated at myself for letting me get lazy.

So for me this will get me back into the routine of losing.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
