Challenge: New Year's Day 2013



Recommended Posts

I like it - I'm in!

May 3' date=' 2012 - 255

Day of surgery, May 10 - 245

CW 169.9 height 5'6"

New Year's goal : 152

Let's do it![/quote']

SW 169.9

CW 157

I didn't realize when I set this goal that my Thanksgiving goal was 157. It is Thanksgiving and I came in at exactly 157! Given my weight today I think my New Year's goal isn't ambitious enough.

Initial goal - 152

Revised goal - 148.

Who knows, but I can try!!

I'm in! (Hopefully I do this correctly!)

Highest weight: 489lbs

Day of Surgery: 385lbs (10/25/2012)

Current Weight: 345lbs (3wks post-op)

New Years Goal: 325lbs

(Okay' date=' so typing the numbers out was extremely humiliating- so much so that I cried. Am I alone in how ashamed I am? This is an awful feeling- especially when so many others are so very small in comparison! It feels hopeless!)[/quote']

Don't be ashamed of the numbers. They should no longer define the beautiful person you are. I share the same starting weight. I was 489 on 10/26/2011 and now I am down to 396. My New Year's goal weight is 365. So we are very similar with our weight loss, I am 9 weeks post op. We can do this just stay focused!!

You're right- we -can- do this! It's going to be harder than hell, but it's going to be SO DAMN WORTH IT!

I know everyone has different motivation, so whatever yours may be, put it EVERYWHERE! Surround yourself with it! I just started doing this in the last 48hrs. then a friend of mine stopped by with his 3 month old granddaughter and it was like something inside of me was reignited!

Thanks for the words of encouragement, my friend! If you need me, I'm here! :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
