Okay ladies and gents, you asked for it, a Fall Weight Loss Challenge.

How it works:

This challenge will be for a 10 week period, starting today, September 5th and ending Monday, November 14th (just in time for all that Turkey and other goodies on Thanksgiving). Everyone is welcome to participate.

1. Make a weight loss goal for the 10 week period.

2. Post your start weight as of the day you join the challenge.

3. Post a photo of yourself at your weight as of the date you start the challenge.

4. Weigh in each Monday and post your progress here.

5. At the end of the 10 weeks post an after photo of yourself so we can all join in seeing and celebrating your accomplishment.

ummmm, it's nearly monday morning here, so I am a little early but I figured I better post the truth before I lose my nerve. Ummmm you remember that 1lb I lost last week, well he's back, and he brought a friend with him so thats been 259 - 257.8 - 260.

So the official weight is 260!!! ouch!

Hey all....I am posting my second weigh in since coming on board with this Fall Weight Loss Challange. I weighed in today at 223....I believe that is exactly where I was last time. Im telling ya....Plateau city over here. I need a fill....Will be getting it in a week. I dont have a good full body picture to post here. I haven't been able to get a good full body picture up yet. Its not easy to take a full body with a web cam...by your self. My scaner isnt playing nice either. I will get one posted as soon as I can.

It's Monday morning here, so figured I better get this over with lol.

Weighed in this morning at 91kgs/200.6lbs.

That's down from 93kgs/205lbs last week...YaYY! Unfortunately, Aunt Flo will surely slow me down this week lol.

Ok, forgot to weigh in last week (Bad Julie) but this week I am down to 309. Never thought I would be happy at a weight over 300, but woohoo - it is a loss!

Okay, so week two with the band means you start to get hungry and 'little bits' of mooshy food don't keep you full......hmmmm.....

So I'm down to 226 this morning and I'm starting to struggle. Those cookie 'chips' look really inviting and I'm here to tell you I have hesitated splurging ONLY because I had to report in today! And a good thing, too. 2 more pounds!! Does anyone have an opinion if it's possible to keep up the 2 pounds a week thing? (Before 1st fill?)

Have a YUMMY week, as I will on cottage cheese and blender soup! ;o)

2 more pounds!! Does anyone have an opinion if it's possible to keep up the 2 pounds a week thing? (Before 1st fill?)

First of all ~ YAY!

I've been averaging 5+ pounds per week since I was banded and I haven't had my first fill yet. I know that won't last, but I'm happy that it's gone on this long! Besides, I think I am loosing more than the average because I am much bigger than the average bandster. Honestly though, I don't care what the reason is, I'm just going to enjoy it while it's happening!

I'm weiging in at 347 this morning. That's -3 since I started the challenge last week. (And when I see the doctor on Wednesday it will be the first time I'll be able to weigh on the "regular" scale - which only goes up to 350 - since I can remember!!!!!)

Morning everybody my 2nd weigh in of the challenge and I am at 250 this morning!!!!! A loss of 3 pounds!!!! Surgery in 5 days!!!!

Starting Weight: 255.5

9/19 weigh in: 252

Down 3.5 in about 10 days (joined challenge late and didn't weigh in last Monday). Good luck with your surgery Keri! You're almost there!

Weigh in this morning was 222, up one pound! Guess that's what eating fried dough and cotton candy at the fair this weekend will do.. I WILL do better next week!

Thanks Anne, I am so excited about the entire situation, can hardly sit still!

I'm definatley making up for my gain last week. This past week I got a fill, been drinking TONS of water, and added some jogging to my walks. The result? I weight 246 this morning. That's 7lbs for the week, and 5 for the challenge because of the first week gain. I know it's just extra water weight while my body is adjusting to the extra exercise, but I'll take it!!!

Good Morning All.... I Am Down 2 Lbbs This Week. That Is A Total Of 4 Lbs. Yeehaw!!!! 16 Lbs To Go. I Didn't Think I Was Going To Get It Done This Week. Thank Goodness It Did Go Ahead And Come Off. I Guess Working Out At Curves Is Helping... Jamie

Alright everyone! I weighed in at 197 this morning. I don't know if that's a loss or not...need to check my last post and I will...later! Happy Monday everyone! Good job all you Losers!!!
