Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

I'm in too! Someone else said 2 lbs a week for a goal and I think that is doable. So I plan to be 12 lbs. lighter by 2/14/10. Yesterday my weight was 180 lbs but I'll see what it says tomorrow (Monday) and go by that starting weight.

My official starting weight is 163 lbs.

Do we update our progress on Monday or check in several times per week?

Thanks for starting and organizing this challenge.

Good luck everyone.

Here's my Monday weigh in:

I started on 1/1 at 221. I am now 216. I've lost 5lbs. so far. I am changing my goal to 22 by Valentine's day which means I have 17 to go. I so want to be under 200 by then and I think I just might have a shot!

Keep up good work everyone!

Okay Guys/Girls, it's time to record your progress. I'm down 2 lbs. Only 10 to go.

I don't plan to put up a comparsion chart of everyone's progress. If someone else wants to do it, it's okay by me. I figured we would just check in with our news each week. I will pull this thread up every now and again so it won't be hard to find.

I am in as well. I want to be at 159 which would be 15 pounds, and would also put me in the normal weight category on the BMI scale:)

I'm in! I joined this on another board, but will move it here.

As of 12/30/09, my weight was 266. So by 2/14 my goal will be to weight 254. Eek! That's almost the weight that shows on my driver's license (250). lol

As of this morning, I weighed in at 261.4. So that's down 4.6 pounds. Woohoo! Gotta love the exercise (and hardly eating anything yesterday - bad day emotionally - normally would have pigged out).

My official weigh in today was 181.5. I would like to be at 169 by 2/14/10. This is a little aggressive for me as I've never lost more than 7 lbs in a month, but I'm challenging myself to lose 12.5 lbs by then.

      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.
