    Christmas morning 2016. Weighed in at 288.6. I'm 63 years old, 6'-1" tall and still working full time. I have a "LapBand" to help me but I need to put more of an effort into doing my part. I'm working my way into this mentally and will start full speed ahead on 1/1/17. Weight loss doesn't get any easier EVER, but I've done this before and I'm determined not to fail in 2017.

    I have a lap band too...I have not been using mine as a tool and listening to my body. I'm excited to do this challenge with all of you.
