St. Patrick's Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hope you don't mind but I've done my next weigh in today - I'm off skiing in Austria later on so won't be able to check in on Monday!

Today I weighed in at 157. I can't believe I've had such a massive drop after it being so slow for weeks, but I'm not complaining!

It also takes me out I an obese bmi and into just (!!) overweight :). Today is a good day'

Yayyyyy! I reache my goal for this challenge! 157.0 today! I guess I am losing 2lbs a week. I hope that doesn't stop until I reach my final goal!

Thank you for the challenges Bea. They kept me focus on my short term goals and success rather than obsess about how much more I need to lose and how far my final goal seem.

Start weight 230.6

Goal originally was 225 but changed it to 220 when I hit 225 two weeks ago. However I bounced right back up again after that.

227.6 this morning so an overall loss of three lbs. Yesterday I was 226.5. Very, very frustratingly slow, see sawing to my goal. I don't lose steadily anymore. Guess that's the way it's gonna go.

Thanks so much for doing this Bea!

      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
