Valentine's Day Challenge 2013



Recommended Posts

My goal for this challenge was 170 from 185...I'm only down to 175 right now so it isn't looking like I'm going to make it by Valentine's Day. We'll see what happens in the next 6 days. Hope everyone else is doing good!

Highest weight: 232 lbs

Surgery weight: 227 lbs (8-17-12)

1.1.13 weight: 177.6 lbs

Current weight: 169lbs

Goal Weight for Valentine's Day: 160 lbs

Off my goal a bit but also have been off my eating plan so I can't have a pity party...Instead I need to refocus on goal and make it happen...On the positive I am still down another dress size...Bought my first size 8 about two weeks ago. Jeans are still a lil snug but they go on and button but I would like to get down another 10 before I wear the jeans out...but the dress and jumpsuit I bought is getting some public play time next week...

How tall are you? I'm so frustrated! I'm 5'5" but still in size 14s. At 175lbs. Still can't get my butt into 12s.....

I know we still have TWO more days for this challenge to be 'over'.......but CONGRATS to those who made their personal goals, what a great accomplishment for sure!! To those of us who did not (me included), not to worry, our goals are what keep us striving and pushing forward, something to look forward to. It's not in the least bit a failure......we'll make it, slow and steady wins the race too, never forget it when you're feeling down. Thanx to all who participated in my challenge. I loved reading it all!! We all have so much to be thankful for, we are blessed!!

My goal weight for Valentine's Day was 180. I don't think I'm going to make it but on the plus side, I've finished Week 3, Day 2 of the Couch to 5K program. Good luck to everyone who's working on this challenge!

My goal was 227. I hit that this weekend! I was hoping I'd be under for the official end of the challenge so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

        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
