Down to 298. Not as much as I'd hoped to lose, but, a good start, and at least I'm out of those pesky 300s =)

Okay, it looks like you guys are wrapping it up just when I'm ready to hop on the challenge...who wants to start a new one for the next three months? Someone come up with the time frame and the "rules" and start a new thread!!! I'm in!

Back in Twonesia with Aunt Flo at 203 for my official end-of-challenge weight today. Funny, when we started all those months ago, I smugly thought I'd lose those 12 lbs. by sometime in April. Here it's June 1 and I have only a nine-pound loss. Still, if I didn't have the band, I'd hate to think what my weight would be. So I'm resolved to pull my socks up, wait till nature plops me back in Onederland (I hope!), and get on with the summer fun.

Kathy, I am definitely up for a summer challenge. Let me think about it . . . meanwhile, I'm going to check Jonathan's page to see how our merry band of bandsters has fared. Congratulations to all losers!

If we are exercising at all while we do this thing, we will be building muscle. That will have an effect on how much weight we lose... in spurts. Building muscle will add weight, but then it will speed up your metabolism which will cause you to lose weight faster... it's an ebb and flow.

For the next challenege, I'd like to do a before/after challenge, complete with pictures. A summer challenge, ending on Labor day sounds about right to me. I can update the software I wrote to include the ability to upload a before picture, and a current/after picture (that could change as often as people wanted to upload one.) The scale doesn't always tell the whole stories... pictures don't lie! =) (Well, ok, they can... but let's say they can't for the sake of supporting my argument.)

Just an idea =)

Thanks for the encouragement, Jonathan. I got an epidural steroid injection on Friday which is adding to my Water retention; on the plus side, I'm in no danger of collapsing from overly thin ankles.

Congratulations on crossing into Twonesia! That's a great milestone. I may have beat you across the '99 line, but I've moved back to my old homeland, so you are the official '99 winner!

As for the Labor Day photographic challenge, I'm in, as long as I don't have to show my legs. Or belly. Or. . . Say, can I just wear a burka for the picture?

The formatting is whack, but you can probably decipher this, or go to www.waistingaway.com and click on "Weight Loss Challenege". You can sort by weight lost to see the order.

      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?

      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.
