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.

      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.
