Is anyone doing a Christmas Weightloss Challenge? If not, who wants to join me? I really need to get myself in gear and try to get 20 more pounds off before christmas and you guys are just the encouragement I need to get it done. We have 47 days, lets see what we can do!!!

Oops, I gained a 1lb. 182

Why is that? Why do we gain a pound here and there? I am 6 days post op and was 209.4 on surgery day then got down to 206.6 and this morning I was 207.5 so whats up with that? I am eating nothing...still on clear liquids!

Oh yes and I want to join the Christmas weight loss challenge. I'd like to be 199 by December 24th

I am down 1 lb this week for a total 4.4.

No gain and no loss this week. Guess I'd better take a look-see at what I'm eating.

I stayed the same as well. No gain, but no loss. My kids were home from school all week and I only worked out twice and ate too much. I'm getting a fill on Thursday and I'm ready! Hopefully next week will be better.

I did about the same as everyone else this week, no loss, but no gain either. Now I just hope that I can get my self back on track this week. I think I might just do protein shakes for a few days. And I definitely need to exercise more.

Good Luck to everyone in the next few week. Total loss reported this week, 17.5 lbs.

I had a fill last week and I can't eat anything... That's good for my goal but very frustrating for me

It could be a lot of things, Water weight is 1 good reason and when you check your weight check it at the same time of the day. I always weigh a pound or two more in the evening. Don't stress it right now, Your in the healing stage trust me it will go down.

Hi all,

Sorry for the late update, I was unable to get online yesterday CRAZY BUSY!

Anyway, upped the excersize, watching what I eat and lost 3 lbs last week!!!! YAY!!

So, stats are:

11/24/09 241

11/30/09 238!!!! :smile:

I can't believe that even with Thanksgiving I lost. WOW, would have never happend preband!

Hey Mccall, kudos to you for being brave enough to post the gain. I know in my heart I probably gained but I'm too chicken to even get on the scale this week. I'm waiting until I get my first fill on Tuesday. Can't wait because right now it just doesn't seem like I even had lap band surgery

I have no idea whats going on, from abt 2 weeks did not lose at all, doing everything right but have no idea whats going on, so i am on a 5 day pouch test, will check my weight on thursday. I sure hope i have lost few lbs. 16 lbs to go. Hope its less on thursday

Good luck everyone !!!

Whooo Hooo I am officially down 30 pounds as of this morning!

CONGRATS!!!! You can't see me but I'm doing one hell of a happy dance for you. Keep up the great work!:tongue2:

Joining in late, but hoping to lose 12 lbs by XMAS.

Haven't been on this board in months and will need to update my ticker.

Thanks!
