Hmmm....8 weeks.....ok

I'm at 277, and I'd like to get to 255 and fit into my wedding dress. B) (22 lbs. Lofty goal, I know.....but I might do it!)

WEll, as of today, I am exactly halfway to my labor day challenge weight. AND, if you saw my post, I GOT INTO THE DRESS!!! WOO HOO!!

11 more pounds to lose in 5 weeks. I think I might just be able to do it. I've lost 5 lbs in the last 5 days. It's weird.

Hi all!

SW: 164 CW: 159 GW:149

I made some progress this week. It's a surprise considering I took a week off from running because my knees were giving me problems. The rest paid off! :) I hiked Mist Trail in Yosemite on Friday. It was awesome! So much so that I'm heading back on Thursday with a couple of friends. AND this morning I ran 6.5 miles in 75 minutes. Yeah, I'm not breaking any speed records, but had a great run after a week of rest. Yay NSVs to balance out slow weight loss. :)

22# to goal..whew! I don't know if I can make this challenge or not. I have been doing WAAY too many carbs the last couple of days. That has got to go! I have upped my Protein greatly though. At least that is a step in the right direction.

I think 6.5 mile in 75 min. sounds awesome. I have a torn up knee and I do 3 miles in 60 min. So yay for you :)

I saw you in that dress...WTG!! It is soo awesome to be able to watch the clock roll backwards. It made me want to try mine on too. So, I got the hubby to help me into it Saturday night. Yes, I had to have help. That thing is huge! It has a cathedral train that filled most of our living room. Anywho..it was falling off too big. I figured it up, I weight 45# less now than I did then. I told my hubby, when I get to goal, I may have it taken-up. I would like to have some pictures made in it; so I can look like how I wish I could have then. It truly is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen.

      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.
