Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Ugh. No loss again. That is two weeks with no movement. I feel like my body and I are in a war over shedding the fat and so far I am losing. I really, really, really, hate plateaus.

I've met and exceeded my goal! My goal was to lose 12 pounds to get down to 254. I'm 253.6 as of this morning! Tomorrow I get my first fill so it'll be very interesting to see how much I weigh by Valentine's Day!

Grrrr up 2 lbs this week to 184. Don't think I'm going to make my goal (173) :-( I've been playing with the same 2 lbs. Meanwhile I'm exercising my a$$ off and gaining? Boooo!

Down to 203. That elusive 199 is getting closer. It is just sitting there teasing me, but I am determined to get there by Valentine's Day. I have really been amping up the exercise. 35-45 minutes with the Wii Fit Plus in the morning and 30 minutes on the treadmill in the evening.

Hi gals. Checking in for Monday the 8th at 181! Down from last week, but my goal is 173, so don't think I'm going to make it. We'll see on Sunday.

I swear I have been in the 180's FOREVER!!!!!!

Woohoo! And the pounds keep dropping! One week to go until this challenge is over, and I'm 4 pounds below goal! Also, I met my new revised goal of being the weight that is on my driver's license. I'm 250! Can't wait to see what the scale says next week.

By the way, are we reporting our final weight as of 2/14 or on Monday 2/15?

Well...I finally saw a loss. 4 pounds! I'm not going to make 15 by next week, but I'm ok with that. I'm happy to see a budge in the scale!! Who knows, maybe I'll see another 4 by Valentines day! That would be ok with me....

      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.
