Hey Yall!

I was just thinking about this challenge this morning and wondering who won!

To make it fair - I think we should have 2 groups: those that were banded a week or so before the challenge (new bandsters) AND those that were banded a while before this challenge started (old bandsters). Have 2 winners!

To me, it looks to be Jamie as the NEW bandster winner with a total loss of 28 pounds.

And Big T (Tony) as the OLD bandster winner with a total loss of 19 pounds. Is this correct?

I will be donating something to both winners favorite charity! :)

Paula this challenge was a great idea, it really helped me, can we keep it going through the summer? Just start over from here? I am going to continue to post here becasue I firmly believe it keeps me accountable. It gives me something to strive for.

Can we start a new one - I need a new incentive as I didn't quite do as well as expected and then lost track of where I started. I'm planning a trip to India in early November and I'd like to be able to fit comfortable in a coach class seat!!!

I would be interested in a new challenge. What are the "rules"? It looks like Monday weigh in. Do you only weigh on Monday? Is not weighing yourself the rest of the time part of the challenge? Let me know the details and I am there. Thanks for the "shout out" Jack. :D

I'm definitely in! I'm still puffed up from my steroid injection, but at least I can move again. Hoping the Water weight -- and some fat too -- will fall off soon.

Just bear with me a few days, and the new and imporoved "Before and During" challenge will be and running. In the mean time, feel free to post your progress here if it helps you with accountability =)

The movers come Friday. I plan on having my new house unpacked before I go to bed that night. (Yes, seriously. =) )

Then Saturday I'll make the code updates and start the challenge over. Plan on having it start with weigh-in and picture upload (if you so choose) on Monday.

Not sure about yall, but for me it really worked to try losing 12 pounds in 12 weeks. I could make it my personal goal, but thought it was worth asking if anyone else was interested in doing it too.

12 weeks from now may be right around Labor day.

What do you think?

I am -1 for the week. 183 now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
