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.

      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.
