Bea -- Thanks again for organizing this challenge! I sure didn't realize just how challenging it would be. Looking forward to the next one!

I'm at 211.0 today, so down only 0.6 pounds for the week and 1.0 pounds away from reaching my overall goal. I also think I might be in the beginning of my very first stall as I've been up and down the same 0.6 pounds all week despite careful intake observation and exercise. Boo. I'm not too discouraged, though, because I've lost almost 15 pounds during this challenge, and I'm 10 weeks out without having ever stalled before. Not too bad. Best of luck, everyone!

153.6 today. Not at goal, but that's ok. It has to be, I can't change it, lol!

I'm still losing, it's just slowing down now at 6 months out...so, on to the next goal...a not quite as ambitious one.

Ehh ill take it. I hit it a bit of a stall so 1 pound isnt bad. Well I made my challenge goal so yay! All week I was bouncing around from 276 to 275 and today I'm on the low end of 275 so think it's here to stay hopefully!

Thanks again for this challenge! I will for sure be a part of the St Pattys Day challenge!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
