Halloween Weight loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

I expect that just as everyone is posting their start weights now they will post an updated weight every Thursday until Halloween as well. It's relatively simple for me to take these weights and enter them into the spreadsheet (which updates the online version automatically). As I enter new data, I simply "LIKE" each of the posts I've already entered, a technique which helps me make sure we don't miss anyone. The spreadsheet will do all the real work tracking progress, calculating % success (SW-CW/SW-GOAL), and tracking lbs lost. This should be a fun way for us to see what big changes we are making both individually and as a group!

The is fantastic! Thank you for being so kind to take this on for all of us! :)

I hope I'm not to late to join. I tried the Labor Day challenge and only lost a few pounds. I'm in quite a stall. So here I am again.

Halloween goal 165

Hoping to break my stall! .

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
