Labor day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

http://1drv.ms/1xo5e8r

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.

First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

Im in, again! CW 159.2, goal weight 152.

I made goal the last two challenges but didn't on the two previous ones, so we'll see what happens. I'm coming up on 9 months out and it's getting more unpredictable as I get closer to my original goal. At this point I kinda feel like I'm on maintenance but I keep losing. Hopefully my weight will just level off at some point on it's own. I still have to be pretty diligent about what I eat, make good choices. If I slip I go up a lb or 1.5 lbs but I get right back on track quickly and that seems to jump start a little extra loss. I'm still 19 lbs from my original goal but I look and feel fantastic where I am so if I lose more, great, if I don't, that's great too. In 8 1/2 months I've lost 91 lbs! Thanks for taking up these challenges, they really help me keep my head in the game :)

Thank you for taking this over! I do love these challenges :)

I won't be home to weigh until Tuesday, so will use my starting weight from Friday ( last day at home) of 182.4.

Sw: 182.4

Gw: 169.9

Odd goal, but I would like to hit the 160s. I think I want to settle around 170 with my top maintenance of 174. Getting there by the end of summer would be great! I just need to stay away from the sugar.

      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. 🤞
