Challenge To Every Body!



Recommended Posts

Im in but I don't know how well I'll do. I'm weight training and it will be very interesting to see if the weight will fall off even with the intensive training.

184lbs - trying for 173lbs

I had a goal to be at goal weight by August but since I'm not sure what that weight is anymore, we'll just have to play it by ear.

Count me in! I will not be banded until 7/21/06 but this will give me the push to lose the 5% required before surgery and thensome. I am 202lbs. and would love to see the lowers 190's or, dare I say, 180's!!!

Great Challenge!:D

I'm in! I weighed 235 this morning, so the goal is 224. I walked a mile today, so I'll have to keep increasing that and decreasing ME! Good luck all!

I am in, but doubt I will make 11 lbs. I am at 185 right now (as of yesterday) and that would put me down to 174 on Aug. 5. I have been losing about 4-6 lbs a month, but maybe if I can increase cardio and exercise I can AT LEAST lose more than 5.....even if it is not the full 11, lol!

Hi John-

I am so happy to see this challenge. It just so happens that August 5th is my One Year Bandiversary. I don't think I'm going to make my personal goal because I have been in a real funk lately, mostly due to all the surgeries. The weight came off very quickly at first...but I have only lost two pounds in the last two months!

I weigh in at 247 today....so 11 pounds lost would put me at a total of 150 lost for the year....Thanks for the motivation, gift or no gift...it will be priceless for me to make the most of this last month before my bandiversary. Thanks!:(

Well I am also moving in the right direction... My original weigh in was 254 and I am now at 252.4. I have increased my walking. I am trying to increase my walk by 1/4 each day. But with my schedule I am going to have to cap it off. I am up to 1 3/4 miles. I believe my cap is going to have to be 2 miles for a bit anyway. Keep up the hard work everyone.

I'm already down one pound. I've lost 60 lbs since starting. 380 here I come!

I didn't exercise with Gone for Good, so y'all are motivating me to get out the exercise videos and move.

Time to Belly Dance...

      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.
