Hey Everyone,

So I am sure you have seen some of the other challenges people have posted around here. I decided the February 09 bandsters need something to liven up our section!

I am challenging myself to lose 20 lbs by July 4th. Anyone else who wants to join me, please do! Copy the list below and add yourself to it. I'll check in and fix it up if people seem to be left out, but try and add yourself to the most current list! Anyone is welcome to join, not just the Feb's.

Thank you Laura for doing this!! And of course I'm in, I gotta make up for the Shrinko De Mayo Challenge!!! I'm setting a goal of 20 lbs and I know that's probably high but I have my wii fit, my brand new salad master cookware, and I'm getting my EGD on the 19th so I feel I have a better chance at this now!! :thumbsup:

I'm new to this group. I was banded 2-19-09 and I would love to join the challenge. Not sure I could commit to 20lbs because I seem to be loosing slower than most others but I could commit to 10lbs.

Awesome. Well it seems like people are slow to join, oh well.

How is everyone doing? My mom just bought me the Weight Watchers Momentum cookbook (she does WW and I kind of follow some of it) and it has AWESOME ideas!

Hello everyone!

How's it going?

I think I did something wrong, because I didn't do my starting weight. I didn't start at 288. Are we supposed to record our starting weight before banding? Straighten me out, somebody!

Hey Debbie!

You should put down your start weight at the beginning of the challenge not your start weight from the beginning of your journey. Good luck!!

Sorry everyone! I know I have been slacking with keeping this up to date but I have been so stressed at work (and at home) I haven't had time to check out whats going on here.

Keep up the good work everyone

Ok, ladies, it's confession time. I'll start first, maybe because I was the last to join. But let me ask how everyone did?

I didn't lose 20 pounds, but I am down 9. I got on the scale this morning, a little past July 4, I know, but I now weigh 279. Yay!

So come on, everyone! Let's hear how you did!

Lor, I hope things have calmed down for you at work and home, and you're not too stressed out anymore.

Debbie

I also didn't' make my goal of 20 lbs... I kinda figured that I set it too high again. I did lose 11 pounds though!

Hey! So I didn't make my goal either but I am pretty excited that I have made it down to 229 lbs, and have lost 56 lbs total!

I am starting to exercise more, which I think will help push me toward meeting my goals more efficiently.

Debbie - thanks for the positive thoughts. Things have mostly calmed down, minus one really bad sinus infection that threw me out of commission for two weeks last month and I'm still playing catch up from.
