Another 3 bites the dust. I'm only 1 pound from making my goal, which would put me at 181. So I'm going to add to my goal to pt myself in the 170's by Memorial Day. My new goal is to be at 179 which is 3 more pounds.

I'm in too! I am one month out and my starting weight 243.6' date=' current weight 216.6, challenge goal 20lbs or 196.6 and ultimate goal 150lbs. Is 20lbs in 7 weeks realistic at only 1 month post op? I hit a two week stall already at 9 days post op. Fingers crossed! Good luck everyone![/quote']

I had to go back to my first post to see where I started this challenge. My goal is to lost 20lbs in this challenge and my starting weight for this contest was 216.6. Today I weighed in at 203.6, so 13 lbs lost in this challenge and 40 overall since my journey began (beginning of March). I have 7 to go before Memorial Day. I hope I can make it, but if not I would be just as happy if at least make it to One-der-land! Go team, we can do it together! Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there!

I don't know if I am going to make it to my goal. I have 7 lbs to go in 17 days. It is going to be a tough fight!

Three weeks ago: 155 lbs

Two weeks ago: 152.6 lbs

Last week: 151 lbs

This week: 147

I lost 4 lbs this week which is unusual for me, but I will take it! Hope I can keep it up for this week's loss.

Current weight: 406.8

Down: 2.8

22.2 more to go!

Well I don't think I will be making it to my goal on this challenge...unless something miraculous happens!

Current weight: 402

Down: 4.8 (since last check in)

Down: 7.6 (since original post)

17.4 more to go...2 weeks to go.

I really thought 25 would be doable!

I gained 3# in Fluid this week with my cycle' date=' so I didn't know if I would see a loss or not. The fluid did leave though and from Friday to Saturday the scale went down 2 more #.

Well, on everyones advise, I upped my Protein intake. I have been pushing through 60-80g, up from 20-30g+-. It may be good for me, but it appears that it is not good for my weight loss. My weight has been bouncing up and back down all week. So my final weight is back to where I started last week. No loss this week.

I am so frustrated right now! One weekend of bad eating and my weight bounced up by 3 lbs! Urgggggggggggggggg! My hubby and his stupid cookies! What the f*** was I thinking. Going to get back on track now and do a simple eating schedule of Protein, protein, protein, veggies, and no sugary foods! Today is the day! I don't think I will be seeing the 140's by memorial day. :(

YEA!!!!! Finally in the 150's. I'm not sure I will get to my Memorial Day goal, but I am just so excited to be where I'm at right now. I'm wearing size 10 pants and a medium top. 29 years ago when I got married I was wearing a size 9, so that is my next major goal. My anniversary is July 9 and I WILL BE IN A SIZE 9 BY THEN!!!

This is perhaps a little ambitious since I stall for a minimum of a week every month during my TOM, but I'm going to try!!

Omg. It's as if I said I'd do this & the scale froze :( As of today I'm 252. Only a couple weeks left & 12# to go to reach my goal. Looks unlikely, but I'm going to try to stay positive & aim for success! Starting yoga today!!

      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.
