Challenge: New Year's Day 2013



Recommended Posts

@Fiddleman what are you doing to have so much success?!? You've dropped over 100lbs in 5 months. I'm hoping to have a similar effect now that I've just been sleeved. Wow!!!!

It was a combination of a lot of different things : drinking as much Water as comfortable, eating every 3 hours 2-3 oz Protein, eating when waking up, eating when going to bed, exercising every day ( walking at first until cleared by dr, elliptical on and off for a few months and now running and lifting in last couple weeks), not cheating ( ever), eating as low carb as possible, not stressing ( getting into the zen of sleeve), sleeping 7-8 hours a night ( was not always able to do this), reading VST every day looking for hints and advice, etc. you can do it. I had my fair share of stalls along the way, average time about a week. The first one was long, about 3 weeks. Don't give up everyone! The prize is there for everyone.

NY goal was 315...my Christmas goal was originally 319 but I revised to 323 because I didn't think I would make 319, but now I might because I've finally broke my stall :) So lets still strive for 315 for New Years!

I do not think my goal of 240 will be met by New Years. Am having a lot of stalls and am getting frustrated, but I know I will start losing again. Am going to shoot for 250 as my new goal.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

@scs it's not difficult u can do it... What I do is I eat meat first as it has the most Protein so by time I need to eat anything else on the plate in full....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
