Thanksgiving Challenge....



Recommended Posts

Thanksgiving is a little more than 5 weeks away. Is anyone interested in doing a Thanksgiving Day challenge??

For me it's kind of a cool day because all my judgemental family will be there and I'll be smaller than my always thinner than me nasty sister. I can't wait to go to that family get together and look sexy and amazing. She has put me down for years and has no idea that I had WLS. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to showing her up???

Anyway, I'm more likely to work hard for a short term goal so anyone want to join me on this challenge??

Send a reply and tell us how much you want to lose before that fabulous day....

We'll encourage each other.

sounds good to me! I am currently 223. my goal for new years is wonderland!!! But, a short term goal is good! I need to refocus on a goal and start working my sleeve! I am in! My goal is 10 lbs....213. I am a slow loser and keep hitting stalls, so, i think 10 lbs is realistic! Good luck!!!

I am in! I am having surgery the week after to remove a rod in my leg and will be laid up for a few weeks. My best friend and I just got some flights to New Orleans from SW airlines they have a great sale but that is in January.

I would like to be in onderland - 199.9 is good for me. So right now that's roughly 8lbs but I am a slow loser. 15 would be better but I can roll with 8.

I will do the challenge. My current weight is 219 so will set a realistic goal of 209.

Starting weight 279.

Goal weight 160.

I'm in! My goal will be 6.2 lbs. I know that sounds wimpy, but I've been losing REALLY slowly the last 3 weeks. I think this is realistic for me. My BMI is 27 so it's going to go slow now, which is fine as long as I DO keep losing. I love having short term goals. Great idea!

Ok, I'm at 173 and I would love to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving. My Hubby's 50th Birthday is the day after Thanksgiving so I'd really like to surprise him with a new sexy outfit. Time to step it up!

:D

Ok so how is everyone doing so far? I can tell you I've stepped up my exercise but guess what... I've also stepped up my calorie intake. I mean, for some reason I can't STOP EATING!!! I had a whopping 1322 calories just today. I really feel like I'm trying to sabatoge myself.

Someone please tell me they're doing great! Get me back on track.

Update: eventhough I had that one horrible day, I met my goal for the Thanksgiving challenge! Today I weighed 215!! I'm so excited because I would have NEVER been able to do this before my sleeve. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I thank God for my sleeve everyday and pray that this weight loss is permanent. Hope you all are doing well too!

Congratulations Wondering1! I also met my Thanksgiving goal of 177lbs this week. I thought it wouldn't happen because the scale barely moved in about 5 weeks, and then - BAM - this week I lose over 5 lbs! Good luck to everyone one else on reaching their Thanksgiving goal!!!

      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.
