Christmas - New Year Challenge



Recommended Posts

199.5! I have been 199.5 for the better part of this week. I hope I am not going to be stuck here!! It's too close to 200 for my liking!

Good luck, everyone!

CONGRATS for making it to ONEDERLAND this week! Gee...I'm thinking you're solidly in range with a buffer all the way up to 199.9, LOL. You're doing so great...no need to look back now!

Hi can you add me to your next challenge. You can also PM me before the start.

Thanks

I've got you on my list. However, if you want to jump in now and join us for the next two weeks of this challenge, I'll be happy to add you to the charts. All you need to do is post today's weight, your January 1 goal weight, then check in with us on Christmas and New Year's to let us know how it's going.

Seeing some GREAT reports coming in already! I'm at 218.6 today (whoo hoo!) with a goal of 215 in two weeks. If I can keep my 2 lbs per week run going, I should just make my goal. Finger's crossed.

Although it's WAY too early to set it up, I've also been thinking about the upcoming Valentine's Day Challenge. This is a BIG one for me because my goal for February 14 is ONEDERLAND. It's a nice length (6 weeks) with weigh-ins on a Friday. I'm thinking we'll start it on Friday, January 3. I'll be posting further details within the week.

Although I have a tendency to resist "over-commenting" here, I do read each and every post and Celebrate, and occasionally commiserate, with you all. This has been a really nice challenge so far and I'm excited that everyone seems to be doing well so far and we still have two more exciting weeks to go!

A valentine day one would be cool! My year is 2/25!

210.5 this week, only a 0.9 loss, still a loss though. Not sure how it's not more because I have been so sick these last couple of weeks. Consumer very little and very little of it has stayed down. I guess my body is holding on to what little bit I have it. Plus no exercise due to illness, I actually miss exercising, never thought I would say that. Keep up the good work everyone!

Good morning,

I vowed not to buy a scale until my six month anniversary because I knew that would drive myself crazy weighing myself every day. Then I decided to do this challenge and yet I did not have a way to accurately measure my results.

A good friend of mine that also had WLS told me that "winners keep score" which really stuck with me. I finally broke down and bought a scale last night so today is weigh-in Wednesday ???? Drumroll please…I've lost another 13.4 pounds!!!

Keep in mind that I haven't been on a scale since my last surgeon appointment a month ago. So this does NOT reflect one week worth of weight loss.

I must admit that I was (am) one of those sleevers who had doubts about how fast I was going to see results but being able to say that I'm down 42.4 pounds in just two months makes me feel ecstatic. I'm so excited about where this sleeve journey is going to take me so hang in there everybody and just know that as long as you're doing what you're supposed to do the weight will fall off.

Pre surgery wt 344

Start of challenge 264

Last week 257

This week 255.8

Close to 6 pounds from goal going to be tough but maybe it will motivate me to make better choices next week! My Christmas starts Sunday with my first family function.

I knew as I closed in on 100 pounds lost it would slow but I secretly wanted to be at 244 New Year's Day but hey I started my pre-surgery diet on August 6 at that point if you had told me I would be down 88 pounds by Christmas I would have been over joyed!

        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.

      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
