Christmas Challenge!!!



Recommended Posts

Okay, it's time I get realistic. My weight loss has slowed down. Last challenge I only lost about 6 lbs in 2 months.. hit a 5 week stall though. Anyway, needless to say my goal for this next one is a little more... accurate. I'm getting smaller so weight loss is slower...right?

SW- 188 CW 188 GW 178 Lbs to goal - 10.

I can do it. :)

And then I'll only be 6 lbs to 100 lbs lost! WOOOO!

I"m ready for the challenge! I was 1 lb shy of reaching my goal of 230 for the Halloween Challenge, but I am so happy how far I've come.

Screen Name - Phatgurl80

Starting Weight - 230

Goal Weight - 215

lbs to Goal - 16

If I lose 16 lbs, I'll be the same weight I was when I was almost 10 years ago. That would make me so happy :) Then, i'll finally be able to visualize that ultimate goal I have of 175.

Good luck everyone!

The Halloween challenge was my first ever and it was fun to follow peoples' progress and it helped me to stay motivated with a mini-goal. I beat my Halloween goal by 2 pounds. So I'm very happy. I've set my Christmas goal with a 2 lbs a week weight loss in mind. I think that's reasonable and doable.

It's so exciting to think that I won't mind my picture being taken this holiday season!!!

Ok, I missed my Halloween goal of 185 lbs (and 50% of my excess weight) by 2 lbs. Time to step it up for the Christmas Challenge! I hope to weigh 174 lbs and be OVERWEIGHT instead of Obese! I haven't been "just overweight" since I was 7 or 8! I think that 13 lbs is doable, and I probably might even pass this goal before Christmas :smile1:

I'm in. This is going to be my birthday goal as well since the bday is right after Christmas. I said when I started this journey that I wanted be to under 200 by my birthday.

I missed the Halloween goal by a couple of lbs. My weight loss has been slow for the past 3 months -- I lost 6.5 lbs. this past month (which was my best month since July) and that was with some really hard working out (I only missed working out on 4 days out of 31). I am setting what for me is a realistic but challenging goal, which is to lose slightly over 10 lbs before Christmas. If I hit this goal, I will start 2012 off being less than 10 lbs. to my ultimate goal weight, which will be SO COOL!

I have to say these challenges really to help me stay motivated with my weight loss! Even though I have always fallen short of my challenge goals, I've always come close and it's very satisfying to see my progress over time.

Excited to see others with this as a "birthday" challenge too - day after is my bday!

I haven't hit a "stall" yet and I know it's coming now that my body is finally on the upswing so I am trying to be realistic on the goal.

Now, I have come to terms with my slow weight loss ... so, I'll shoot for my surgeon's goal for the ultimate christmas pressie - that short of Robbie Williams in his tiger pants, of course!

      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.
