❤ APRIL 2019 CHALLENGE❤

Okay so I love the idea of a goal board, but will have to create in May. Just zero time this week to make that happen.
However, speaking of goals, my goal for this April challenge was to come in at under 200 pounds, and today I barely squeaked in.

Honestly I didn’t think I would make it, but between Friday and this morning, 2 pounds magically fell off.

I have a few boards related to goals on Pinterest, one particularly for things I want to accomplish, new hobbies I want to try, etc. I also keep a "goal journal" where I can write in more depth about things that motivate me and what new actions I want to take. Now my next goal is to actually start DOING stuff and not just writing about what I want to do! :P

Amazing Team:


Goal boards can be digital or analogue!!!


As long as you are comfortable with the medium and it feels relatively low stress to make

AKA Pinterest for me 😍

I set a goal of 10lbs and lost 9. Close enough that I’m not bummed out.

Thank you to our wonderful hostess @GreenTealael for another wonderful month!! Bring on May 🥳🥳🥳

Surgery: VSG (just a little over 5 months post op, still losing...)

Starting weight: 146.4

Goals: Get to 135 lbs (which would mean a 100 lbs loss for me since October!) && increase strength training time/amount. Right now I do maybe 20-30 mins twice a week, I want to do more.

I almost made it. Almost.

Wanted to reach 135 lbs, but got down to 136.5 instead. Still, I lost 10.4 lbs for the calendar month of April, and I am totally fine with that 😎.

I didn't increase my strength training regularly this month either. There were a handful of times I went longer than 30 mins, but that was it. I really hate strength training 😒.

Thanks again @GreenTealael for doing these ♥️♥️♥️♥️

P.S. I reached my 6 month milestone on the 24th of this month! Still amazed at how fast it all went by. My post about it here:

I'm sorry. Squeaking in here. I feel like a failure. I never posted. I started at 296 and my goal was 280.

I'm 9 weeks out and have lost 48 pounds, but only 6 the last month.

I'm sorry, I'm not able to do the exercises like the ones posted. Not yet, at least.

In suffering from gout right now and waiting for dispatch health to come look at it this afternoon. For now I can't even walk without pain.

Congrats to everyone losing this month!

Do what you can, exercise components are additional not necessary to join. The challenges are to stay invested in your journey and self. You are absolutely NOT a failure. Don't forget it.

I guess 6 pounds is not a failure. I just expected more and was seriously scared I may not lose one more pound.

But I have never in my life lost 48 pounds. I would be happy with 6 pounds a month, because that's 72 pounds in one year and could get me closer to 180.

Thanks for the positive encouragement!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
