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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
