Christmas - New Year Challenge



Recommended Posts

I weighed in at 213. I lost 5.8 pounds on the challenge but didn't meet my goal of 210. I guess the closer we get to goal, everything slows. Also the holidays and all the parties. Time to get back on track!

Wow, woke up this morning to pages to read and remembered oh today is checkin day. Well I too did not make my goal, but I am at the lowest weight in 14 years. And got rid of all the christmas baggage and got back on the track to MY healthy lifestyle. I dont know about you guys but this is my first year without a resolution based around my weight! Because its just my life now, and I am ready to hit the ground running for the Big V day challenge. Thanks again Bea for giving us your gift!

Final weigh in 172.8

Goal was 167..but thats ok since surgery I have lost 81.6pounds

No change this week :(

But no change also means no increase!!

Eating habits were a struggle over the holidays but thats behind me now -- and 2014 is here.

Time to jump back on the path to a healthy lifestyle!

Congrats to everyone who met their goal-- i am impressed with u!!!

Just reading your post & it hit me that (even though I've still got a ways to go) I am at the lowest weight I've been at in 12 years.

That's a good feeling!!

Congrats to u on your progress!!!

I have to weigh myself when I get home. I weighed yesterday and was 258, but the weather was so beautiful here in Long Beach, we went for a long walk on the beach yesterday. I need to weigh again when I get home so I'll check in with a final weight tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Well I didn't make it. Goal was 159 and I am stuck at 165. So, my goal rolls over to Valentines Day. I am almost 10 mos out and the honeymoon may be over. But I am not satisfied, so I will make some changes and keep plugging along.

Happy New Year!!!

        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
