This is a continuation of the last of 2008 challenge. I have pretty much just copied our format over here and hopefully it will work. Everyone needs to put their weight as it is when joining the challenge, then put your current weight, and then your goal and how much you have to go. Do the quote from the last person who posted add yourself in alphabetical order and update your stats. Good luck everyone, and here it is! Keep in mind that this is for the whole year.

A couple of questions... if I may. How long is this challenge running? Like to march? Or A holiday? Because I have short term goals and long term. I'm in the valentine one, that someone is running here, but it's really not working for me, in the set up. But if this is like the "last of 2008 challenge" I'd like it.

This is kindda exciting. I have lost 90 lbs so far and should reach my ulitmate goal this year. I am hoping by June which is my surgery anniversary and then maintain it. Last year at this time, I never could've imagined I'd be reaching my goal this year! I put my start weight at what it was on Jan. 1st.

I will say I will lose 30 pounds for ALL of 2009. I have become a slow loser. Right now I am ok with that since my workouts are next to nothing. I even may consider getting pregant this year with my DH.. So I will set of a Bar of 30 pounds that will take me to 166. I hope to blow it out of the Water but I want an attainable goal... I have already lost 75lbs.

After a bit of thought and wallowing over last year's disappointing challenge results...I am in!

I am letting go of last year and how much I didn't lose and now I will focus on this year and the road to goal. The fact is that I lost 100lbs by my first Bandiversary and I know I can make it to goal.

That's it! I am setting the goal of 175 that is -69lbs by my Bandiversary. That would put me at goal.

      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.
