2/7/14 - 150.5

2/14/14 - 149.5

I didn't make my goal of 145 but I'm actually starting to think I should just be happy where I am and maintain my weight.

I haven't reported in a couple weeks, but nothing changed. Started At 165 and ended at 165. Congratulations everyone for sharing your progress and changing your life!!

That's okay, we're still proud of you. Maintenance is just as important (if not more so) than losing. I used to weigh 150lbs, but i couldn't maintain it, so i ballooned to 245lbs at my heaviest. If i had your skill of maintenance, that wouldn't have happened. So even though i know it's gotta feel a little dissappointing to have not lost weight during a weight loss challenge, don't feel bad. :-)

First off, congratulations everyone! As another poster said, no matter your progress, you all have made the decision to be healthier and more conscious of what you're eating. whether you lost or maintained,

Thank you for this challenge Bea. Your challenge really helped hold me accountable because as it got closer and closer to Friday each week i'd be like "maybe i shouldnt eat this extra _______" or "i'm going to walk today" because i didnt want to post that i had remained the same or God forbide heavier. I'm also pleased to have a record of my success.

Anyway, I made goal and have entered ONEderland.

SW: 217lbs

GW: 199lbs

CW: 198.6

My victories (scale and non scale) have been a motivator to those around me. Mom is watchingnwhat she eats and now does like me and asks for a box before her food comes out. The only time she orders a dessert is at applebees(they have a tiny brownie bite for like $1).

My husband has also been seeing a nutritionist and has lost 11.3lbs. He wants to lose w/o the sleeve first and in six months time reevaluate if he wants the procedure.

I will definately be participating in the next challenge.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
