Facebook group challenge is actually working...



Recommended Posts

Im an admin on a wls support group on Facebook (Recipe For A New Life). We've been doing weightloss challenges for about 5 months now and I'm the one who always buys the prizes (a nice candle). Ive never won. This challenge is different. My husband is now part of it as well as 2 cousins. Now I'm motivated to FINALLY get to goal after 8 yrs of wls (lapband in 2009 and sleeve revision in 2013). I bounced between 160 and 170 for 4 yrs. Yesterday I weighed in at 149! Frist time I've been under 150 since I got married 6 yr ago (weighed 144. Lowest I ever got). My original goal was 140. Now that Im closer, I'm thinking 130-135? I', 5'5" and I've surpassed my Drs goal (155). I'm in first place! My husband is in 2nd! We go by %'s so it's fair for people of all weights.

I've been working really hard this past 3 weeks (challenges are 4 weeks). Did u know that black pepper has .007 carbs per serving? My husband is the carb Nazi and tells me the amount of everything I put in my mouth. And no, I don't listen to him when I put pepper on my eggs! I'm FINALLY doing it! Yippee!!

      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.
