deboregon 0 Posted May 30, 2009 dee,put my goal as 10.....again. my eating has been all screwed up, not portionwise but not nearly enough Protein and often too much alcohol....arghhh getting excited to see you and others in little over a week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmegirl 2 Posted May 30, 2009 I guess I"ll join the challenge, though I'm rather sick of being a failure. 5 weeks = 10lbs for me. I've just started going out to the local lake with a friend of mine. She's like a drill sergeant, "jog to this tree", "run to that trash can", "if you can talk you can jog!". She kicked my ass yesterday morning! We did a mile and a half in about 20 minutes and boy am I sore today. But that was only Day 1 for us, and we're going to do it 3 days a week at 6am before work. With her beside me, I can accomplish great things. This ball is going to start rolling, I just know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julie.ann 1 Posted May 30, 2009 Well I am 182.8 today. (I have to post it so I will remember next week what I weighed.) My low so far! YAY! To no longer be obese that would mean I need to lose 8 lbs. That will be my goal. Thanks for keep track and good luck to everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lap_dancer 8 Posted May 30, 2009 Hey Beautiful Bandsters! How are those smaller sizes fitting these days? Anyone on here being banded between June 8,9,10,11? I would like to talk to you about being part of my project. Thanks again for the trip tips. I booked my flight, room and car rental today. I am staying at the Marriott Hotel by Meadows Mall in Littleton. It's near the intersection of 470 and 25 if I remember correctly. I'll be arriving on Sunday about 3 PM. Planning on taking advantage of that cushy bed at the Marriott. Please tell me some good places to check out. I have a coupon and the chance to add a trip to Silverthorne outlet. Is this place worth it? Or one of the overpriced outlet malls. Let me know before I buy a field trip to this place. Do we know how many are coming to RR? I am so very thrilled to be coming out there this time. I know it will be a tremendous trip. Again, please let me know if you are on the band list for the time I will be coming out there. Those of you who I have talked to about being part of my film project will be hearing from me this week with those questions and we also can work out a good time to get together. Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup::smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowgator 3 Posted May 31, 2009 Lap, My two cents is that the Silverthorne outlet is not worth the time or money, I have never found great bargains there. If you are into thrift stores, there is a huge one close to Dr. K's office called Savers, and that is worth a visit. Especially since we are all shrinking and not staying in our sizes very long! Can somebody remind me of our next Red Robin date and time? Sorry, I forgot to write it down. Happy weekend everybody. Dee, please put my goal for -5 for the next challenge, thanks.

julie.ann 1 Posted May 31, 2009 Every time I have gone for a fill I go to the thrift store Unique. It is close to the office and Natalie and Mary recommended it. I haven't left yet without finding something there. The jeans are less than $5. It is huge and you can try it all on. I love going there. I have it saved in my Garmin right beside Dr. K's address. I figure if I am going to drive 7 hours then I better get to shop too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lotzasunshine 2 Posted May 31, 2009 For the challenge I really want to hit 70 lbs down, so I am going to aim for 9 lbs this time. I am going to have to kick my self in the butt, cuz I finally have the time to exercise as much as I want. I just need to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BellaPerdente 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Dee, put me down for 6 pounds. I weighed in at 173 today. I can't believe how much weight I have lost. I have people who I haven't seen in awhile who almost didn't recognize me. This is the smallest I have been in 25 years. I went shopping today with my daughter and I a am wearing a regular x-large and size 14 pants. I think I could fit in a size smaller but my "extra skin" is getting in the way. It looks horrible. Especially my legs. My skin is hanging and wrinkly. How I wish that I could get it taken care of. Anyone know of a plastic surgeon who gives special pricing on self-pay. I wish I could find a "Dr. K" of plastic surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julie.ann 1 Posted June 1, 2009 I know what you mean Bella. I talk about this all the time. I know someday I will get PS, but I have another 4 1/2 years until I have my lapband surgery paid off so I will have to wait until then unless something else happens. Depressing to know that it will be 5 years before I can get this extra gross skin taken care of and my breast will keep sagging until then too. I think I would even be happy with my body now if I could have PS. I think I would be able to fit into a size 10 then (I am wearing a size 12 now) and I never even thought about wearing a size smaller than that. I am getting to the point where I can tell a difference in my shoulders and face. I even wore a tank top when I went golfing with my hubby yesterday!!! That is a NSV!

mem620 3 Posted June 1, 2009 Hi Dee, I would like to join in on the July 4 challenge. My B-day is June 20, and if I mind my p's and q's, I can hit 50 pounds as a present to ME! Weighing in weekly helps me out a lot. Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
