Per @@goplay94123 I am posting this. I am finally under 200lbs. Not by much, but still I made it. Of this morning I am 199.2lbs. I thought I would never get here. I believe the last time I was under 200lbs was when I was in junior high or even late elementary school. That is sad to say, but trying to do better presently. I got old fat, but Lord willing, it is going to be gone fat! How many of you out there got old fat, but are working on the gone fat?!

A week late for the challenge, but I made my goal of 168 today! Onward and upward… or make that downward. 18 more to my final goal!

b. I applied a randomizer to next to each name

c. I picked the first Active Weight Loss participant who logged each week and had the lowest random number

d. I picked the first Maintenance Mode Weight Loss participant who logged each week and had the lowest random number

Congrats to Active Weight Loss Mode Participant @@rubia72

The next challenge will be for labor day and will start up in a few weeks – so stay tuned for that! - Unless someone else wants to run it - send me a message and I will send you the documents

Thanks everyone!

Have a great and healthy week!

      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.
