Very Scary Halloween Challenge

Wow, Larry, you really out did yourself this month! The chart looks fabulous! Thank you!!!!

I hope this first week is off to a great start for everyone! I have already had ice cream 2X, so that means only once more for the week. I have walked 2 miles each day. Check out the 60 Miles in October Challenge if you like or want to add walking to your routine.

Awesome Exercise Goals.. How long have you been running?

On and off for a couple years, but steady since July. My goal is to run the 5k without walking. It's amazing how our bodies adapt to whatever we do.

I'm glad your enjoying it :) It's been a big help in getting the scale to move in the right direction. I'm using your challenge to help me stop weighing myself everyday (just once a week)

Yes, that scale is becoming addictive for me!

Hi everyone, we are half way through the week. I hope everyone is having an awesome week. It is raining in LA, so no walking for me just some inside cardio. How is your week going?

Hi Chrissy~ My week has been going well. I just finished a 2mile Walk Away the Pounds w/ Leslie Sansone from my dvr, it was great. It is raining here, too. How has your week been?

Remember, tomorrow is our weigh in day. Please post your name, real or screen, and your current weight. Our stat keeper Larry will update the chart.

How are your goals progressing so far? Give us an update if you have the time. Hope everyone had a great week!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
