Time for the next challenge...

4th of July Challenge!

Here we go with the rules and instructions:

1. Be sure and log in here on Friday, May 30, 2014 to post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.

2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that this challenge is only 4 weeks long (5 weigh-ins).

3. Weigh in every Friday and post your updates here.

4. Watch the data at 4th of July Challenge (click to be taken to an online spreadsheet) to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Note for you non-USA folks...even though it is not your country's Independence Day, it is definitely your country's "Fourth of July" (I mean, it's the 4th of July everywhere, right?!?) So here's hoping you'll think of this as a holiday to share with us and join in on the fun here. Happy 4th of July, folks!

I am back to 170.8! Grrrr lol

So in addition to my lady reply about being so happy for you Bea-- if no one steps up to this job you've been so great at- I think we should keep going without an 'official record keeper' and be our own cheerleaders-- I can help cheerlead daily but I cannot do the tracking and spreadsheets:)

Again so excited for you Bea!!

Fourth weigh in - CW 332 - feeling good! Can I make 326 tho? I'll have fun trying :-)

Third weigh in CW 338 - picking up the pace, not sure if it will be enough to get to goal - but I'm going for broke anyways :-)

Second weigh in CW 342 - slow pace on the down - I am the tortoise :-)

First weigh in CW 345 -,- a bit slow but a loss nonetheless!

(SW 348 - GW 4th of July 326)

      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.
