And mind you, I realize that my 20 lb goal in right about a month is a bit far-fetched, lol, but, that is the point to me. It's something I will have to bust my tail to reach. Which means, LOTS OF EXERCISE! Lets see just how close I can get!

Me too! I am going to weigh in on Monday the 5th and that will be my starting weight. Then we have 5 weeks, I have been averaging 1.6 pounds a week during the Easter challenge so I will go with 9 pounds (I hope to weigh 149 before Monday and then my goal will be 140) That is less than I have weighed in 16 years! That will be my Happy Mothers day gift to me!

Congratulations on your progress! That is an excellent goal for you then! 140 is my dream weight! I have never weighed less than 170....So I suppose that is mine! I would LOVE to be 170 by Mother's Day! : ) And the best Mother's Day gift I could give myself! :thumbup:

GREAT idea!! Honestly, these challenges have been great motivation for me! Since it is only about 5 weeks away, I think 10 pounds might be reasonable, which will put me at 160 (holy crap!) I'm getting soooo close to my (first) goal weight!!

Good luck to everyone!!!!! :thumbup:

I would like to say 20# but that's probably not likely since I am going to the Highpoint Furnitire market Apr 14-21st and will probably drink there. So I'll aim for 10#'s.:thumbup:

Hi count me in. I would like to be 15 lbs. lighter but, realisticallys speaking I will choose 12 lbs. for the challenge. I currently weigh 184 lbs. I have lost 38 lbs. and would love to be down 50 lbs. by May 9th. Would hopefully this is the motivation I need. I currently have very good restriction but, just not a fast loser but, fine with that.

      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.
