Recommended Posts

Hey guys!!! The biggest loser season 10 just ended! And this starts a new round of the pound for pound challenge. Its an awesome charity that the biggest loser does! For every pound that is pledged to be lost, the biggest loser donates to the Feeding America project that funds food banks to fight hunger in America.

I have created a team for Bandsters to join to fight the fight against obesity while helping to end hunger in America. Simply go to this link

it is based out of portsmouth ohio...but whatever state you live in you can join the BandGivesBack family to help end hunger! I look forward to seeing you all on our team! You can pledge up to 50 pounds and I encourage you to PLEDGE BIG !! The more we pledge the more biggest loser will donate! So go to the above link to help give back and get motivated!!!! Invite your friends lets make this a big effort by the band community!!!

Dont panic if your pounds pledged do not show up right away!!! The group has to reach a total of 4 members in order for them to show! But I am sure we will get there quick!! Spread the word!!

I signed up and am trying to join your team, but for some reason it won't let me. I click on the Join Team tab, but nothing happens. Any idea why?

I tried and the same thing happened but I scrolled thru the team names and found Bandgivesback then I joined and registered. I think it worked.

I also had to do the same as going to find the team name and then registering and joining. But hopefully it worked. It's always nice to be able to give back, I think this is a great thing you started Inspire, hopefully more will join.

I just joined the team!! Just out of curiosity - will they automatically donate the food or do we have to somehow report as we lose weight?

I was able to join this morning! I had to scroll thru the team names in order to join - I couldn't just search on the team name. Our team is currently ranked #13. We need more members. We currently have pledged 230 pounds with 5 members.

Join our Pound for Pound Challenge Team "Bandgivesback"!

Awesome!

I've joined the team. :D

When looking for it though, I noticed that some of the teams had Facebook groups and some didn't.... I think we should have one too. For me it would be major accountability!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
