She said the weigh-ins are Mondays, so I'm assuming "observed" :)

Count me in again. I am starting at 164. This has been a challenging month for me , and the weight loss is definitely slowing down. My goal is 158, which would put me under 160 for the first time in almost 30 years .....this is scary territory for me.

Start : 164

Goal: 158

Good luck all! Bea - you are awesome for doing this for us! Many thanks :)

Wow! Good question! When I Googled it, I got the Monday that it is observed on rather than the actual date, so that's what I set it up for. As always, people can adjust as needed, but for this challenge the bulk of us will be weighing in tomorrow and each Monday afterward.

Thanks for asking this and helping clarify the situation!

Count me in. I have to do this I went for my one year follow up I lost 45% of my body weight according to my Doctor. The goal was 50% I was a little disappointed I ask to see her in three month. This challenge will be good for me to lose that 5%

      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.
