Funny, but I picked 13 out of the blue just because it's my lucky number and I knew it would get me to a nice round goal number of 185. Little did I realize then just what a milestone it will be. 185 will bring me over the hump to an 'overweight' rather than 'obese' BMI category and that is something that I haven't seen or felt in a very long time. I'm super motivated now.

Am starting the challenge today at 198 and hope to lose 13 pounds by the new year.

Jumped on the scale today just for the heck of it and it said 278! That means i've hit my halfway mark! Very exciting.

I'm getting close to 275, which I haven't remembered weighing since I was 14!

Today I appreciate my band so much!

Good luck to everyone and have a great weekend :)

Good grief, thanksgiving made me feel like i'd fallen off the wagon!

I didn't eat large meals, but I did find myself grazing on cheese, pieces of turkey, and bites of desert.

I'm scared to get on the scale and see what the damage is! I am getting back on track today and going to try and detox my body, so to speak. I am back in my own home, my own elements where I KNOW I keep no temptations!

I'll check my weight on Friday instead of Monday!

Tonight, i'm hitting the walking trails!

Good luck everyone, we're entering the final month of our challenge! Keep up the hard work and push yourself just a little more! I know I am, it will be so worth it :)

I'm joining late, oops. Since I already hit my Christmas goal, I figured I'd do a new challenge.

Looking to hit 140lbs by the 1st. That puts me at a normal BMI. :D

I lost 3 lbs last week. I'm a little under the weather and I'm super busy at work, so this week will be a challenge. I just updated the spreadsheet and notice we've lost a combine 179.9 lbs (I'm sure it's more since it looks not everyone has updated) so keep up the good work everyone!

I love looking at our combined total :) Pretty awesome. Its much easier to do this with support and motivation from others!

was stuck at the same weight for 2.5 weeks, and finally lost a pound, woohoo! lol

I'm still going to work hard to reach this goal by the new year, but we'll see what happens :)

I got terribly sick yesterday and went in this morning for a tiny unfill. So far i'm able to get my liquids down now, we'll see how it goes from here on out!

hope everyone is well and having a great start to their week.

I just looked at the running total: We've lost over 210 pounds!! If you haven't updated the spreadsheet lately with your current weight, go do it so you can get added into the tally! Banane02.gifBanane04.gif

Happy New Year one and all. I hope that you all did well and were successful in the End of Year Challenge. I'm three pounds short of my 185 lb goal, but happy with my 19 lb loss. Looks like many of us haven't updated the spreadsheet https://spreadsheets...y=CMr0g1w#gid=0 and we're already over 250 lbs. total lost.

      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.
