Okay - I am inspired. Firstly - last night meeting everyone and hearing about everyones challenges and experience has motivated me to get back on track. Secondly - seeing that Nip is now overweight is inspiration enough!

I know I can do this...refocus and make GOOD food choices. The food will not control me! Now that I'm done talking to myself, I thought a Labor Day Challenge would be in order. I'm afraid I didn't do so well on the ID Challenge. I know we still have two more days, but I thought we could get this one started. Anyone want to join me?

We have eight weeks. I'm shooting for 2-3 pounds a week - I'm shooting high!

Count me in! I might shoot for 1-2 pounds a week so lets say 12 pounds.

Great idea, I'm in! I feel like I have got to be the slowest looser on the planet sometimes. My cast comes off in two weeks, and then I can really work out and I know that is what I need. So I'm going to shoot for 2 lbs. per week, too.

I'm in too. I finally started losing weight again. I thought my plateau would last forever. With 8 weeks i want to lose 20 pounds, so 2.5 pounds a week, I can do that if my body will cooperate...

Okay, I'm in too! Didn't do so well on the last one and I'm up a few pounds but I am going to try to stay on plan, even without restriction.

My fill 2 weeks ago has been a big help. Down 3. I've also lowered my goal weight and if I get close to it, I might lower it another 5 or 6, that would put me in the normal category. I always figured overweight would be fine, but lately I've been rethinking it.

I went in today to get my unfill - down 2 pounds since Thursday. Not the way I wanted to lose it (miserably), but I'll take the loss! :-)

Let's get this challenge going. What have you done this week?

Exercise: NADA! I take that back - one day of Zumba class at the Y

Eating: Pretty good, need to journal though! Gotta work on my Protein.

Drinking: Not getting in my liquids!

Now what am I doing to correct my laziness? Going to the gym tonight!!! Doing something to get my butt moving. I have a workout partner - JEANNIE!!!! - you need to be tough with me...I need tough love! Enough excuses. I started journaling today too. Water! Water! Water!

Good for you Leslie!

I haven't lost any weight this week but I've been doing really good. I ran yesterday, so today is my off running day. I think DH and I will play Wii tonight. Probably boxing, it's a wonderful workout.

Let's go everyone! We can make our goals!

Good going Georgia Girl. I wish I could say the same I thought my last fill might help, but not much. The last 2 weeks I've been at a stand still. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Nip! You have lost a lot of weight very consistently, so maybe your body just needs to catch up a bit. I'm sure you will start losing again soon. You've done so well and if anyone can make it to goal, it's YOU!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
