Christmas Challenge!!!



Recommended Posts

I decided since today is October 25th, we are exactly two months away from Christmas to start a challenge. I participated in the Halloween one and it worked out great. I have 6 more days of that one, but I am close to my goal. I am so excited about that, I want to do it again!

Do you guys want to do a Christmas challenge? If so...

I will start it off...

SN--- Forensikchic SW--194 GW---174 CW--194 lbs to goal--- 20

For this challenge, the starting weight is what you start the challenge at, not your original starting weight. Good luck peeps and I hope we have a lot of people do this challenge too! I say shoot for the moon!

SN--- Lisa the Loser SW--149 GW---134 CW--149 lbs to goal--- 15

My original Halloween goal weight was 150 I revised it, so this time I will try to stay modest :unsure:

I went for 20 for Halloween but I am falling a little short of that (about 3 lbs or so). I started to go for 15 but decided I would do 20 again because I am hoping for less complications this time! If I fall short and only loose 15 or so, its ok! Thats 15 more toward my goal! I dont want to make unrealisitic goals but I feel strongly that if I really dig in and exercise, I can do it! You can too!!

I'm in too! I have no idea what would be realistic, but if I could hit 162, which is a loss of 38 pounds I would be ecstatic! It would be my 100 pounds down mark, so I'm going to aim for it. If I don't hit it I'll still be happy. But since I am still a new sleever I'm thinking it might be possible.

SW-200..........GW-162............CW-200.........lb's to goal- 38

I will be happy just to stay between 190 to 195 but I'll put my goal at losing 10 pounds from 197 to 187 if I get motivated then 180 but I'll be realistic

I'm not going to post my starting numbers until I see where I end up on the Halloween challenge because I think I am going to come up short. Either way my Christmas goal has always been to be at my goal of 155 or my normal BMI. That will be just shy of 9 months surgiversery. I'm 14lb from there today and been stalled for what seems like FOREVER. but I am determined to hit it by the end of the year.

      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.
