Independence Day challenge for Bunny Bandsters



Recommended Posts

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
