At my job they are having a contest titled The Biggest Loser, I was told that I could enter even though I had, had Lap- band Surgery. It has now been 4 wks. and I am ready to call it quits. We have to weigh in, every week, and it makes me feel like I am competing against myself, My weight has flactuated so much, wk. one, I weighed 249, after my 2nd fill, I weighed 247, then I lost a couple of pounds it read 239, last week 238, and today 243. I am becoming frustrated. I work out almost every day and I watch what I eat. After I weighed, the lady on the commitee had the audacity to ask me was I watching what I was eating. I wanted to slap her. She did'nt know that 4 months ago I weighed 276, I don't think being in the contest is the best thing for me, I think I need to go ahead on my Lap-band® journey all by myself.:tt1:

I cannot imagine participating in a weight loss challenge at work. I love my coworkers, but this is so deeply personal. I wouldn't blame you at all for not doing it!!

[Relax friend.....but I know how you feel. You first need to find the right spot for your body in this journey!!! It took me almost 3 months after surgery to really start seeing pounds drop....and then it got too tight!!! But you know what - if you want to - compete in the competition - especially if they dont know you have the surgery....lol - it may start working in your favor in a while - and then you may just win it!!! Hang in there - I also just "rejoined" this site. Nobody - that has not done this, will EVER know how hard it can be, or how long the road has been for you. good luck ....
