Seeing that at surgery date, I was 309(still can;t belive I got to that)

But the other day I stepped on the scale and was down to 285!

COngratulations to all the "losers" and it's great to read how well everyone is doing. I was out of town for a business seminar so I'm playing catch-up with the posts. I believe 7/4 is our final weigh-in but have we decided on when the new challenge will begin? Because my philosophy is "a new way of life forever" I would vote for no "time off" between challenges. What does everyone else think?

I concur Elisabeth. It helps me focus on my goals. I think we decided to keep it to a monthly thing though instead of over a long stretch. So if we're ending on the fourth do we run till 8/4? Or do we just want to make it from the first of this month to the first of the next and so on?

OK, here's the July Challenge. I put in everyone's last reported current weight. Add in your goal weight and how many pounds to go. Remember, it's only a 31 day challenge. Good luck to us all!

Christine, I'm learning that when I want to go off of the low carbs to stick with fresh fruit and yogurt and it also helps with the sweet tooth, and Fiber.< /span>

Thanks Elisabeth for setting up the new challenge! I've adjusted my starting weight to today's weight since it's the last weigh in for last weight challenge. (sorry, just wanted to see how many times I could get the 'w' word in....lol) I'm afraid 11 might be a little agressive considering I've been on the slow boat but I want to get to Sturgis next month at my 70 lbs gone mark. I'm 3 down from last week so I am going to do my best to get the next 11 gone as well. Good luck Ladies! I know we can do it!!! :whoo:

I think I'll wait and weigh myself in the morning for an official 4th of July weight (which would conclude the original challenge). My goal was 310. Lofty, I know, but I am 314 today.

I doubt I'll be 310 tomorrow, but let's see how close I can get! ;)

      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.
