Memorial Day Challenge Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I love challenges they help me set goals and keep on track. If you would like to join in just post your current weight and goal weight for Memorial Day which is May 31, 2010. We can take it a week at a time and weigh in on Mondays because Memorial Day is on a Monday.

I am currently 218. I believe I can lose 10 pounds by Memorial day that would put me at 208. So, that's my goal.

OK, this seems like something I can do. I am currently at 285, weight first thing in the morning. I would like to drop 15 pounds by memorial day. I go for my first fill on 5/14 so I may not make goal but definately need something to strive for! Monday weigh ins are good for me. See you guys in 4 days, Wayno

Sounds good. I'm currently at 180 and would love to see 170 by Memorial Day.

So, I'm going for 10 pounds.

This is totally what I've been needing! I'm definitely in.

I'm 233 right now and would like to be 218, so 15 pounds for me. I almost feel like that's a little too much (works out to 3lbs a week) but I have been on a lovely little plateau for a month and am planning on taking it up about 10 notches because I need to get rolling again.

Good luck everyone!

I lost my car keys but not any weight. In fact i may have found an extra pound or two! Not discouraged, but i am a little disappointed in myself. See you next Monday with better news.

I made a spreadsheet, just enter your name goal weight, current weight and weigh in weekly.

      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.
