NewBeginnings2018 81 Posted May 13, 2007 I think another challenge is a great idea Jess. Memorial Day is too soon and the next holiday after that is 4th of July. Is that crazy or what?! It's hard to believe we've been banded 7-8 months now. Our one year anniversaries will be here before we know it! Personally I want to lose another 25 by then, so I'm game for any challenges or anything that will get my butt moving! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shellybeans 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Hey everyone! Well, I am off to Vegas tomorrow morning. Goin to the Academy of Country Music Awards. I am so excited that I can hardly myself. Lots of drinks and food, but I just had a fill last week and for the first time, I truly know what pb's are. OMG! The pain. I really have to focus on chewing and eating slooooooowwwwwwww! I say a challenge is a great idea. I need something to motivate me. July 4th is a good goal. What is a reasonable weight loss to everyone? 10lbs? Have a great week to all the October band babies.

JDru 0 Posted May 14, 2007 I love a challenge! I would like to lose 13 pounds by July 4...that would put me 168, which is 50 pounds gone. July 4 is about 7 weeks away. I think we should set the goal for 10 or 15 pounds. What does everyone else think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jodi-T 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Hey everyone. Wow everyone is doing so good. I am also doing good I am down 80 pounds and counting. I am finally at the weight I was when I got married so I am pretty happy about that. With the gall bladder problems I was completely unfilled and so I only have 3 cc's so I need some Fluid in this band. But I still have lots of restriction.
