Count me in also. I need some additional motivation as I am already dreading the holidays. So, I am in for 20 by Christmas. Need to get walking again - cold weather has dappened my spirit for the outdoor stuff. Good luck to all and I will keep everyone posted.:smile2:

Mina-Bandit, I did the same thing over halloween, gained 2lbs. from all the candy. We'll work together to get it off. To post an update, just reply to the thread again. Good Luck!

Count me in for sure!!! I've been wanting to lose another size by Christmas (which for me is about 20 pounds). This will be great motivation!

Thanks for starting this thread!

I want in. I was banded on Oct 1st. The first 2 weeks i lost 15 lbs. But have not lost anything since then. I got a fill but only 1cc. Kinda dispointed i feel no restriction.:smile2:

I'm going for a goal of 10 lbs since i can't seem to loose any in the last 3 weeks.

starting weight 217 goal weight 207

[juliansmom2003 3]

Count me in. I just had surgery on 10/21, so hopefully I can maintain my 1 to 2 lbs lost per week until I get to my fill in December. If I can lose 15 to 20 by Christmas, I'll be sooo happy!!!

[chatty826 4]

Same for me banded 10/29 and I'd like to do 20 by Christmas. Can't wait til my excersize restriction is off!

[SylviaM 0]

I am definitely in too! I am stuck and have not lost much lately. I have not exercised in a while and just needs some support and motivation. Never had any type of support group the entire time of being banded. I will start exercising today. Thanks, Sylvia

[SylviaM 0]

Yes pls. include me too. I need some motivation and support through the holidays. I think I would have done better if this I would have had some type of local support. I plan to start exercising today and will keep in touch. Thanks, Sylvia
