Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I just found out about this, so I went ahead and put my name on the google spreadsheet. This is fun for me, I need this push. Now has anyone thought of make a spreadsheet with the exercise that they do? If you have can you post the link or email it to dslouha@verizon.net?

Thanks and good luck

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the Christmas challenge participants have lost a combined 162.9 lbs. So, we have basically lost a person and that's with a lot of people who have not updated their weight loss!

Just saw this and I am joining today! I need some workout motivation. I see that many people have huge goals, but I am doing 48 lbs, which seems impossible right now...let's see how this goes.

Ugh...for some reason I am retaining Water. So I stayed the same this week. My ring is tight again and so was my bra which wouldn't have happened if it was weight related. Guess I'd better check my salt intake. I've had more than a couple of the new McDonald's smoothies this past week and even if they fit in with my calorie goals it is the only change I made so I will cut them out and see if that gets me back on track. Congrats to everyone else! And I'm not really unhappy as I'm doing well anyway.

1/5 of the challenge down and we've lost 272lbs! That's an average of 55.2lbs a week! If we keep up an average like that, we could lose 1,435lbs total by Christmas. I think we should set a group goal of trying to lose a thousand pounds by Christmas. Thoughts?

Count me in! I'll add myself to the spreadsheet on Monday, when I weigh myself for the Labor Day challenge. I think I set too ambitious of a goal for that one, so I'm going to go with 50 pounds for the Christmas challenge. One of my coworkers is getting banded today, so we're going to start hitting the gym together at lunch once she recovers. Sort of looking forward to it (though the lazy part of me is not!).

      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.
