No problem, go ahead and post your current weight and I will update the table this weekend. Yes we do it it every month but you have to read the posts to find the name of next months challenge. You also may want to leave a brief introduction, most of us do these challenges every month so we have a built in support group.

Thanks Larry! My current weight is 184.5.

Hi everyone! I wanted to leave a little introduction as well, my name is Andrea, I am 25 but will be 26 on the 25th this month. I am 5"3' and was 200 lb for my adult life. Every year I continued to gain 8-10 lbs since I was 18. I just kept getting bigger no matter what diet I was on or how much I exercised, so I decided to get the lap band so I could stop gaining and get control of my life. I didn't want to be anymore overweight than I was in my late 20's or 30's, so I made this decision in hopes it would help me in the long run. I was banded may 4th and am in mushy food right now, but so far so good :)

Hello everyone. I'm late posting...because believe it or not...my scale is broken. I know that I am "up" a few pounds (but I have now switched from mushies to real food). I will either get it fixed or get a new one by next week so I can post a real weight--and hopefully a loss. I will let you know that the last time I was able to get an actual weight...it was 247.5...which is up from the last posting...I am really looking forward to that first fill and being able to actually feel full.

Until next week....hope everyone has a great week.

Ok... I worked hard theis week to undo the the 4 pounds I gained from the cruise. So I weighed in at 200 this morning. Realy? could it not be 199!!! I have been trying now for 3 weeks to land on this elusive number.....Maybe my scales don't go that low....that's probably it.--haha

Anyhoo......200 it is..I better see 199 tomorrow!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
