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!!!

Name......................Starting....Current....To Go

Sorry to report that I have gained 4 lbs. I had a fill on Nov. 17, 2009 of .4cc. I was to full and couldn't keep anything down. I went back to the doctor on Dec 1. 2009 and was totally unfilled. So now I'm struggling to keep my weight down. I'm schedule to have a fill on Dec.15, 2009. So, my goal now is to not gain anymore weight before my fill. I know I won't reach my goal to lose 20 lbs by xmas. Before this all happen I was 10 lbs from my goal. Congrats to all of you who are marching forward to you goal.

Lingra - please don' t be discouraged. You just have to set a new goal and it appears that you already have. And this is through no fault of your own, so keep your head up - we are all here with and for you - as a matter of fact, I personally think that any weight loss - whether it is goal or not should be celebrated!! Even if it is just one pound!! Cause that is one pound we don't have to carry around any longer.

My prayers and thoughts are with you!!:thumbup:

To drToliver, It is post like your and others that keeps me inspired. Thanks so much.

I calculate a total of 78.8 lbs. lost this week. That also includes some people loss for a couple of week, not just one.

Congratulation LollyMoe for making your Christmas goal.

Thank you for updating Fluffy Jen! Sorry for you fill problems Lingra hope they get worked out quickly!

I have lost 2 more lbs. Believing I will make my goal. The hardest for me will to be at daughters 10 days over Christmas don't do well away from home BUT she is banded too (in May) and we are now both in 16 so... this will help. I have lost 74 lbs total 40+ since surgery 9/23 tried hard before surgery but am so thankful for band off a lot of medicines and looking forward to being off more. God is so good. Happy Birthday Jesus. Blessings to all as they meet their goals. Thanks again Fluffy Already looking forward to Valentines Day. Now there is a challenge look out Victoria Secret.:rolleyes2:. Ps I haven't been this size since age 17! Can you imagine?

hi Fluffy Jen, i didnt make it in time to do yur weight lost chanllenge but that was the best idea ever, thats just what i may need to give me help on getting rid of this weight. I'm going to see abt starting one for valentine hopefully so ppl will be interested in doing one with me. do u have any more weight to loose or have u met yur weight goal??

You are all so wonderfully ambitious to set such goals over the holidays. For me, I hoping not gain any weight between Thanksgiving & Christmas. I know myself too well, and the band won't curb me eating all the holiday goodies/drinks I like. I'm going to have to rely on will power and hopefully moderation. I don't want to push my luck on setting a high goal, as I'll probably wind up binging.

Wishing you all will power and success.

Ditto. I'll consider it a successful holiday season, weight wise, if I don't regain anything I've lost to this point. Bonus if I actually lose, but not setting any goals.

Good luck to all of you!

Just curious, but why would they totall unfill you? Or do you mean they took all of the .4cc back out?

what is your

menue i was band in 11/07 i have only lost 31 pounds

Now down 4.4 lbs. I don't like to weigh in on

Mondays (old WW phobia:)). I had gone in just a few days prior to Thanksgiving to have my band checked to make sure it didn't "slip" during a run of the stomach bug (it hadn't) and didn't have the same restiction afterwards and gained, ugh, not what I wanted. Went for another fill last Wednesday and have now started losing again. I think if I can get close to my goal I will be a very happy camper. Good luck everyone!

To ElfiePoo:

They removed it all because I had been vomiting for almost 2 weeks. They said they want to give my stoma a rest and let the swelling go down from constant vomiting.

I have not posted in a while but thought Id share my good news. I am 200.6!!!!!!!! My goal was 199 by Christmas Eve ..... I'm gonna make it!

I am just going to get this over with now instead of prolonging it until tomorrow. I gained 2lbs. this week. It is the first time in the 8 1/2 months since surgery that I have gained anything. It was just a bad food week. It all started with a nacho craving that I just couldn't get out of my system and I gave in and it got me.

I don't think I'm going to make the goal of 20lbs. by Christmas, but as long as I don't gain anymore, I'll be happy.

Hope everyone else did better than me this week. :willy_nilly:
