How do these challanges work? do you just pick a goal and work toward it?

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Thanks for doing this - love these challanges! Just finished the Labor day one! Put me in for 16 pounds! That is 2/week.

[TracyNYC 4]

Oh! I love the idea of doing this Challenge! It will hopefully give me a real kick in the butt. I put my goal at 226, that will be 2 pounds a week for me!
