SW 5/21: 250

CW: 215

GW: 195!

To be in onederland would be awesome! Will be a little tough since I'm spending 10 days in south Africa working/playing in aug, and will be in Brazil at the end of the challenge doing the same. Anticipating a potential tough time!

I'm in! I didn't make my July 4th Challenge, but hopefully will make this one.

SW: 323

GW: 303 (20 lbs)

Also:

- Get back to drinking 100+ oz of Water daily. Lately, I've been only getting in 80 or so.

- Get back to exercising at least 3 days per week. I haven't been to the gym in weeks

Seeing Twoterville would be nice, but I don't want to be too ambitious. My annual family reunion is Labor Day weekend. One of my original goals was to have 100 lbs lost by then. Making this challenge will put me there. Good luck, everyone! WE GOT THIS!!

Do we weigh in once a week on a designated day or just on Labor day?

I think we said Mondays since Labor Day is on Monday the 3rd. It will only be once a week so tomorrow will be the first weigh in. Good luck everyone!

Also, it's not mandatory for this challenge to weigh in weekly so if you prefer every other week, every third week, or once a month it's up to you. This is a short first week so I'm sure some people may want to wait until the following week. Anything works as long as we encourage each other.

      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.
