I am totally on board. For the last two weeks I haven't lost any weight, I haven't gone up, but not down either. I kinda got sidetracked on my diet. But now I am ready for a little challenge. i need it. I have a wedding to go to the end of May and I wanna be down to 250 by then, I don't know if I can do it now.. is there a chance I can be ready for another fill???

Count me in too!!!!! I'd like to lose 35lbs by Cinco de mayo. I am so recently banded I'm losing pretty fast and I hope that continues. By that time I should have had my first fill and I will be able to restart my normal workouts. I am currently just walking on the treadmill for 45 min 3-4 times a week.

YAY I'm excited to have a smaller goal to look forward to!

Can I change mine to 15? I think I WAY overestimated. I haven't gotten a fill yet and I'm stuck on the scale. I don't want to make my goal to unattainable so is there any way i can change it? Thanks.

I am brand new to these boards, so I am just jumping in feet first :thumbup:

I was just banded 3/19, I haven't hopped on the scale as of yet. When was weighed at surgery I was 282 so I would love to aim for -15 lbs bringing me down to 267 :thumbup:

Please count me in. My goal is to loose 15lbs 5-5-09. I have already lost 20 just 12 days out from surgery but I expect that to slow once I can eat "real food". To be down 35lbs would be awesome!

Anybody else wanna join? I'm also thinking of submitting our group into the "Biggest Loser-pound for pound challenge". For every pound you lose, they will donate 10cents to food bank centers of America (which equals 1lb of food). Anyone interested?

I think the Biggest Loser - Pound for Pound Challenge is a great idea! This "Shrinko de Mayo" challenge has helped me to refocus and I am so excited to report that I have lost nearly 7 lbs. since starting the challenge. This is the first time I have lost weight after a fill and I think it's because I am not trying to cheat my band! Also, I like being accountable to this group!

KUTGW everyone because we are so...worth it!

WOW, EXCELLENT work!! 7lbs is AWESOME

Keep up the good work. Unfortunately, I had a procedure on my leg (Darn Doctor gave me 1.8lbs of fluids..lol) and my monthly bill came early :cursing: so I have vowed not to weigh myself until April 1st. I feel MUCH smaller than ever and I am hoping that by then I could be at 5lbs. Fingers crossed. I have added everyone to date below:

I am posting losses here just because I work hard for each pound and would love to share my excitement! I see that many have added their own separate ticker for this challenge which I find very motivating. Whatever works for everyone to get us losing!
