Hello everyone. I have been gone from the forum for about two months, during which time I was suffering a serious "too tight" issue. As a result, my doctor had to remove most of the liquid in the band. Since then, I have gained 7 pounds from overrating and making bad food choices. However, I am determined to make this year the best ever! Today, I will begin to take control over my life and my health with a vengeance. I realized that I did not spend ten thousand dollars or more to gain the weight back after making it half way to my goal weight! I know I can turn this around, I just need to be strong and stay on this forum for the support I need. Today, I will start going to the gym.

I always keep my past challengers in my sheet so you can always come back, Glad you are here!

Checking in! I am down a little after a rocky few weeks in December. My goal weight for January 31 is 219 and I think I can meet or exceed that since January is such a long month. And this cold must be burning fat, right? That's four pounds to go to be out of the twenties. I am not eating too much, just got a fill and I feel at peace right now with my appetite. Now to kick up the exercise again and do this thing! Good luck every one, and happy Wednesday.

January 1 - 225.5

January 8 - 223

What I didn't include in my check-in is that the scale actually moved down .3 lb. That is really just maintaining, but I'm happy. I've changed my exercise routine the past couple of weeks and my body is trying to figure things out. I think I'm still on target for my goal weight this month.
