zeniada 9 Posted September 10, 2010 How do these challanges work? do you just pick a goal and work toward it? 04948749-FFAB-E84C-90A7-1D94AFDDA05E 1.03.01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighaMason 19 Posted September 10, 2010 Exactly, I usually look at how long I have, and compared to the restriction level I am at, and how much more I have to lose and then decide a reasonable goal. Like since you are newly banded and not on solids yet, I would say 8 pounds (1 a week) and then throw in 2 weeks for mini-plateaus and go for 6 pounds. But thats just me:biggrin: Do whatever will work for you. Just click on the spreadsheet link and put your name in a box and your starting weight and goal beside it.

Wow that sounds like fun....I think I'm gonna give it a try! I think 6lbs is a good goal for my 1st time out and since I'm still on mushy foods.....whoo hooo I'm actually excited to do this. When do we start and what day do we weigh in? 04948749-FFAB-E84C-90A7-1D94AFDDA05E 1.03.01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighaMason 19 Posted September 10, 2010 Use your weight as of today for starting weight and weigh ins are officially on Monday, however if you only weigh a once a week just chime in anytime and put it on the spreadsheet on that week. Even if you weigh less often than once a week you are welcome to join and just log your weight any weeks that you want to. You really only need a starting weight (your last weigh in), a goal, and a final weight (on Halloween or Nov 1st) to participate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbie72001 0 Posted September 11, 2010 I am in! I really need some motivation. I was banded on August 2nd and have lost 20 lbs but have been eating really bad latley and really hungry. I go for my first fill on September 23rd so I hope that will help. Thanks for posting this. Debbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reverie 49 Posted September 11, 2010 In for 20; that will put me in the 150s range, though I will be on vacation in Vegas for 5 days, should be interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole74 4 Posted September 11, 2010 Just keyed mine in...wasnt sure what would be a good goal for me. I just had my first fill and very little restriction so I am hoping I can lose at least another 10lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeachBabe 0 Posted September 11, 2010 Great idea. I just signed up for 16 pounds (2 pounds a week). I have 3cc's in my band currently (was done on operating table) and I have anothe 2cc fill coming on September 20th so I hope to be in a good zone to hit my goal. I am also doing a boot camp that atarted this week and I feel great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
