HeatherGurl's Challenge



Recommended Posts

Free to all who would like to join...

I plan on doing a monthly thing. We will see how it goes.

1. Start date: March 1st

2. End date: March 31st

3. Post your beginning weight.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. This is a friendly little CHALLENGE and I am NOT going to calculate anything. If someone else wants to that will be fine.

The main reason I want to start this is to track my weight on a monthly basis to see how much I can really lose by pushing myself...

So, let me know if you want in.

We will post a beginning weight on the 1st!

Just a little clarifications here :

I want this to be a challenge for us all to lose weight. I don't want there to big one winner, because we will all be winning.

I don't plan on prizes or naming a certain winner. In some cases that will make us work harder, but for my own personal reasons I just want us all to PUSH each other to win this battle.

I recently dropped out of another challenge just because I wasn't getting what I needed there. EVERYONE is welcome in this challenge and I don't want to divide anyone on LBT!!! :)

Like I said, we are all in this together and I just want to try and do things a little different. I would LOVE all comments and suggestions on how we want to do this...

Actually might start a whole 'nother thread with a new cool name!!! *HINT* *HINT* to someone that already PM'd a GREAT name!!!

AND since I am getting really busy at work, I might get another person to do the main page or something (P'Nut) hehehe

I'll do this with ya. I enjoy tracking my weight with others.

Do we weigh in weekly? on a particular day?

If you need help keeping a main page, I'll be glad to do that since I'm not working, Heather.

I'll join your challenge. I never enter the other challenges for prizes or to be the big winner. I, like you, just enjoy seeing my progress. Best of luck to everyone. :)

This sounds lke just what I needed. I've been at the same weight for months now and have kept putting off trying again. But this is just what I need to get started for the weight I want off for the summer! I'll be here March 1st, thanks!

Me too, please. Right now I need to be accountable. May not be so much about loosing weight for me as making significant changes in diet & lifestyle & such... but I'd like to be included.

      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.
