Labor Day - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

Irene,

So glad you are feeling well enough after surgery to be posting and hanging out on the boards with us! Haha- the new girls will add a little to your weight. Those IVs are cruel to the scale - I weighed 216 the morning of VSG surgery and 230 the morning after I got home from surgery. It took 8 days to dissipate.

After an unprecedented almost 5 lb loss last week, I only manage to squeak out a loss of 1 lb this week.:blink: 4.6 lbs to goal, it looks like it's going to be a race to the finish!!

UPDATE:

Nichelle.......238........220..........216..........4lbs.

Its the last leg of the race and I'm going to have to give it my all to cross the line on time for this one!! Here I go...

Alittle too over drastic with my fourth of July goal. I missed by 9 lbs. However. I still feel I can do this and set my goal within reach. This goal gives me 9 weeks at a rate of 2.44 lbs. a week.

Nichelle..........238................................238...............216......................22 lbs.

I am so excited for these challenges. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I just love dressing up. This year I might not have to search high and low to find one that fits well and doesn't cost extra for plus sizes. Now usually I would be crazy mad about a holiday challenge, but I am ready to make one I can not only keep, but can reach to. So exciting. This will be my first year that my new year's goal won't be to start a diet and try sticking to it. Thanks Diva for keeping us all motivated.

Best of luck on your newest goal with the body fat percentage. Great way to take in a new challenge!

Next is Halloween, then after we start all over again with New Year's Day. :)

I know! It's ok, I really don't mind it at all. It would still be nice to still see me lose all this by Labor Day, but it not it's still ok. :) Hugs and thanks for always being so kind!!! We really need to meet up someday!!!

Nichelle, I love Halloween too! We are coming up to the time of year where I ALWAYS put on weight. Last year was the first time I can ever remember not putting on any and actually losing. I did notice my losses were not as good as they could've been, but that's fine too. I can truly say I'm very happy with me!!!

Good luck in the challenges to come, but really you've already done outstanding!!! :)

SW- 272

beginning of challenge- 206

CW- 194

Goal-185

lbs to goal- 9.

So, I'm not gonna lose 9 lbs in the next week and a half but, I've still lost 12 lbs in less than 2 months.. which is lower than my average 10 lbs a month, but thats okay. :D

Okay. So I seem to have slowed down a LOT since the last one, but here I am now:

SW----CW----Labor Day GOAL---Pounds to goal

306--236---------231------------------------5

SW---CW---Labor Day GOAL--Pounds to goal

306--233-------231-----------------------2

C'mon, stinking last 2 pounds!!! :rolleyes: I'm actually thrilled, because at my current weight I'm no longer "obese," just "overweight." Never thought I'd be so happy to be overweight!!! LOL I'm going to work hard this week to exceed my goal. I think I can do it--I WILL DO IT!

Let's go, y'all--just 1 more week!!!

      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.
