Begins January 2, 2008. Just hope I do better than last year. My weight was up and down all year. It looks like I'm going to break even.

Some of you may remember that I had the adjustable band put in to loose weight. Have done pretty good with it. I had an "unfill" last week tho since I am getting ready to have surgery. This means that I really have to work to keep off the weight and lose more. Sooooo I am going to join in on the wc unleashed weight loss challenge. I would really prefer to be able to do this totally on my own rather than go back next month and get my band filled again. Again, refresh my memory on how this works. Good luck everyone!

what do you mean by "unfill"

Meaning I had 1.6 cc fluid in my band. They took all the fluid out so I have very minimal restriction.

There's not too much to it. It's more of a support group. Guess we can all start off with how much we want to lose. Some people report in daily or weekly with what they've been eating, how they've been excercising, or the weight they've lossed/gained. We know we will all probably have days when we regress. We just try to encourage each other to keep going. My target is to lose [glow=red,2,300]twenty pounds [/glow]and to tone up.

Hi thatsme03: I had lap band surgery in August. I am doing well too; but it is still a struggle.

Thanks Wrangler, congrats ricebird. If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me a message. If I can help I will. June was year that I had mine and I have lost 70 pounds. For this challenge I have 27 pounds I want to loose. Today is the official day for me to start. One of the things I really need to concentrate on is drinking water! Exercise will be also.

Guess I did OK today. Cut back on the food intake. Kept the Dr Peppers down to 1. Didn't exercise though... needs to get a little warmer before I start my running.

wmdm where are you buying them from? i have not had one of those in a long time. Did very well yesterday for my first day. Yogurt and banana for breakfast, sonic salad for lunch, lots of water(still should of drank more) grilled salamon and steamed califlower for dinner. I didnt check the calories on my desert but I would probably croak if i did. Luigis italian shaved ice strawberry flavor. At work we recieved a late holiday shipment from a vendor, a box of chocolate covered cookies and some kinda spiced pecans. Grrrrrr....I offered it to the guys all day long....lol.

I haven't been eating fruit like I supposed to, but I've been giving the salsa hell. Hey, it's vegetables. I just need to lay off the chips.
