Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys - just in case anyone was interested, I started a Thanksgiving challenge. Here is a link to the spreadheet: Turkey Day Challenge!!

I also created a spreadsheet for the New Year Challenge. Its similar in date to the Christmas Challenge if you want to join that one: New Year Challenge!!

With these spreadsheets, if someone deletes them (which is so Jerky, so I hope they dont) it won't be a big deal as youre just entering your start weight, goal weight, and your actual current weight (as opposed Week 1:-3.2, Week 2:-2.4) etc.. So if it gets erased, you just need to remember (or estimate) your start weight, re-enter your goal weight, and enter your current weight (as opposed to trying to remember the number of pounds you lost every week for a bunch of weeks). The spreadsheet does the rest of the calculating!

I love challenges so much so join in!

Well, poop! I just discovered it was decimated too.

I had all my weights, so I reentered them, and I will be still doing the challenge to the end for my own benefit, but what a bummer. The next challenge I join, I'm going to make sure I download and save the spreadsheet each week after I enter my weights!

*sigh*

I hit my goal of 199 yesterday and have updated the new version of the spreadsheet with each week's loss. On to the next challenge!

We are a month out from finishing this challenge- just wondering how everyone is doing.

I know this week was awful for me- I had my third surgery on Tuesday (to replace the port they removed during the last surgery) and haven't been active at all because of the pain. Coupled with the over-abundance of food from Thanksgiving, I know I've put on a few pounds.

      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.
