weekly scale challenge



Recommended Posts

Well, the scale finally budged a bit. I lost a 1 lb hunk of lard this week. I was pretty amazed really considering the scale hadn't moved in so long. I hadn't done anything differently last week and in fact missed two of my Water aerobic sessions. I had company last thursday and I was still recovering from a cold on tuesday. I am on my way to the pool now though. Best wishes to all of you, Teresa

I want to share a highlight of my trip to Monterey. Walter and I stopped on our way and met Carol (cadydid) and her husband for dinner. What a terrific inspiration! She has lost so much weight so quickly! She looks fabulous!

I was so inspired by her dedication. It was also encouraging to meet someone who has the small capacity that I do -- and she doesn't whine about it! Now that's what I need to learn! I feel ready to tackle all the challenges ahead! Thanks Carol! :Bunny

Hey Lisa: Do you realize that right now you and I weigh the exact same amount? How cool is that? Of course come Monday all that changes. LOL!!!

I walked this morning 1.5 miles in 20 min with John. WHOO HOO!!! Then came home and did some toning for another 20 min alone. John was pooped from the walk. We also had to do some house cleaning and straightening as we have 60 people showing up tonight for a house party. UGH!!

Love you guys

Do I smell a challenge? What's happening on Monday? I never weight the same as anybody before in my entire life! Penni, we were meant to be!

Thanks Bec! Hey, what do you mean by a small capacity? Duh, I should do some band studying.

Miss Lisa,

Small capacity is probably good restriction -- I don't know! :D I've just never been able to eat more than half a cup or less since surgery. That's a good thing, but I whine about it all the time. :ermm It hurts if I eat more, but I don't pb. I guess that's just my body's way. It was just good to actually see someone else eat so little, rather than just hear about it. I felt like a normal bandster. :D

I am still walking........ 2-3 miles a day........ if I miss I feel horrible, works out a lot of frustration toooooooo! The more angry I get the faster I walk. hehe

Jodie-Great LOSS!!! I am so sorry to hear that your divorce is going rough. As a woman who has been through 2- I understand. Walking really helped me though my last divorce. Sometimes, I got lost in my thoughts, prayers, crying, and sometimes singing and would walk for more than an hour or two! I am sending big ((((Hugs)))) to you! Take care of you!!! We are all here for you.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
