4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

I'm a little late in finding this thread. But, I'd really like to join the challenge! The 4th of July this year promises to be a big one at my house - - I'll be celebrating my 40th birthday (July 6) and having a 4th of July party to show off some recent home reno's. So, I'd really like to focus on being down a good amount of weight. I think I"m going to shoot for 2.25 pounds per week (yes, I just made that number up!). Here we go!

(SW is as of 4/25 to be on the same field as everyone else.)

SN.............SW...........CW............GW............lbs to goal

MsPuse....232..........227.6........207.25.......20.35

Yikes!!! Just seeing that kind of freaks me out! It is way more ambitious that I currently have as my 4th of July goal! But, I guess that's why it's a challenge! :D Good Luck Everyone!!!

So when I weighed myself, I cried. Yup I did.... I haven't weighed this low since I was 16. Just now trying to adjust to the way I look, so used to the big chubby face and now its slim and its like who is this when I look in the mirror....

I couldn't resist. I had to get on the scale today. And to my surprise....I saw a most welcomed yet unexpected number. 248.8

So, what did I do to Celebrate? I bought myself something that I have been oogling for quite a while. To top it all off...it's about 50% cheaper than when I normally see them. They are quite rare. Man, I love Ebay...

That's it! I have got to STOP snacking. This past week I've been snacking like a crazy person and not eating real food, even though I'm exercising like a madwoman, I'm not losing as much as I should. I'm on the wagon again!

My sleeve date is May 17, unless a cancellation appt opens sooner.

.......... SW-254...............CW-223...............July 4th goal-189.................Lbs to goal-35...........

This is about 5 lbs per week immediately post-surgery. It's my first challenge, so I'm not sure if my goal is to aggressive or not.

SN......................SW...........CW........GW..........kgs to go

Plumptious............73kgs.......72kgs....63kgs.....9kgs (19.8lbs)

I've been mucking about the last 2 weeks, so have only lost 1kg in that time - but it's Monday morning and time to refocus if I'm going to lose anywhere near 9kgs in the next 8 weeks!! On the other hand it's good to know that I can still lose even when I'm not being that "good"... bodes well for maintaining when I reach my goal (woohoo!!) biggrin.gif

Slow and steady is the pace. I really need to start walking more but hate walking alone and hate just walking the parking lot of our apartment complex. We have placed an offer on a house and hopefully will close May 25th. So once we move, I will have a neighborhood to walk and feel a lot safer.

      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.
