Even though I'm an aussie, thought it would be fun to have a July 4th challenge for all the bunny bandsters.

The start date for the challenge will be 1 May 2009 and the challenge will end on 4 July 2009. Everyone is welcome to participate.

I've started a list for those interested in participating. If you'd like to join the challenge, just quote this post, cut the list, paste the list to your own post, then add your name and your goal weight loss for July 4th to the bottom of the list. There are 9 weeks between 1 May and 4th July, so try to choose a goal that is reasonable in this time frame.

When 1 May comes around, add your weight in the appropriate column and then your target weight. Then, regularly update your current weight throughout the challenge.

If someone would like to suggest a "stars & stripes" themed ticker we could all add to our signatures, that would be very cool.

Maybe I'm being overly ambitious here since everyone else seems to be sticking to 20# but I'm gonna go out on a limb.

I'm breaking the mould...sorry I'm a low BMI'er. I went a little bigger than the 1-1.5 lbs. per week they tell, so I'm doing 15 in the 9 weeks (I'll re-evaluate on May 1 if I'm feeling any restriction, but I want to be realistic during Bandster Hell). I tried a ticker and thought it was best just to add up pounds to lose like the other challenges on LBT show (so mine shows 0-15, not my weight, this makes it easy to add the ticker now since we have no idea what our weight will be May 1). You can click on it to get it below, then click on the 'edit/update style' and add your own target goal (add your own PIN so you can keep adding pounds lost), then add the message board code here under edit your signature. If anyone finds a neater one feel free to share it. Here we go!

Ugh, I can't get mine to add either. Everytime I tried, it would say that my message is too short, add at least 10 characters...well, I did, and it still didn't work...Did I mention that I'm a computer dummy? lol

If someone would, would you either add me with a 20 lb loss, or write me back and tell me what the heck I'm doing wrong, lol.

      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.
