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.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
