Labor Day Challenge 2012



Recommended Posts

K, don't know if we have a formal weigh-in day, but I'm making mine Saturday for now...

Finally cracked 190. Whew! What a freakin' battle it's been! But I'm here and I'm stayin'!

Three pounds down this week. Yay.

How long did it take you to get out of the 190s? I swear I've been here for 4 weeks or more. Today I'm 193 2 lbs from last week down

Labor Day is September 3rd so we have 8 weeks and 4 days in this challenge. How much do you want to lose?

I currently weigh 190.4 and I would like to weigh 175 by Labor Day. I hope this is doable in 8 weeks. My weight loss has slowed downed a lot since my work outs were ramped up.

Here are my goals:

1. Make it to the 170's

2. Lose 15.4 lbs

3. Log food every day into MFP

4. Exercise 4-5 a week

5. Make it to week 10 on Couch to 5 K

Please join me!!!

I had no loss in the 1st weigh in and I cannot weigh in on Monday because I'll be out of town. I am so excited to be off my stall so I decided to go ahead and post an early weigh in.

Today I weighed 186.4. I lost 4 lbs. WOO HOO! 11.4 more to go in 6 weeks. I can do it. Please baby Jesus no stalls!

This morning I weighed @ 296 that means I'm 2 pounds away from 50 pounds I've been stalled for 7 weeks. I ate 3 squares of thin crust pizza of course over 4 hours. There was a break through. Thank God feeling much better. I'm so happy goal to be 285 is looking good for Labor day!!

      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.
