Caltania Β Β 218 Posted October 31, 2019 I'm hoping I can manage this! I really need the extra motivation this time of year in particular... 1. My personal goal is to generally avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day. 2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing 3. CW 245.6, BMI 39.6 (just crossed out of morbid obesity - so proud of myself!) 4. I realize the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow, so for today I'll just say I'm grateful for this challenge! π 2 1 GreenTealael, KarenLR75 and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeseburgh Β Β 3,080 Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) #1. Iβm most grateful for my furnace today, it is cold and snowing here! I can skip everything on that list minus white bread/flour. I donβt eat it often but it is one of my few vices and I deserve one! eta: Gastric sleeve 8/18 maintenance Edited October 31, 2019 by Cheeseburgh 1 1 GreenTealael and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael Β Β 25,430 Posted November 1, 2019 So um yeah... PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH -all thrown in the trash Welcome to the November 2019 Challenge everyone. There will be a few days where it may be impossible to be compliant. *cough* Thanksgiving, but the goal of this challenge is to clean up our diet/lifestyles enough that we don't treat everyday like a holiday (there are plenty coming anyway π) 5 Cheeseburgh, Orchids&Dragons, MarvelGirl25 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvelGirl25 Β Β 2,168 Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) 1. My personal goal for this month is to drink more Water. I keep stalling and I think its because of the water intake. 2. I had the sleeve on 8/5/19 (post op & losing) 3. 312 lbs & 55 BMI 4. I'm most grateful for the extra 10 minutes of sleep I was able to get this morning I'm also just grateful that I have another day of life to live and that I woke up. God is good. Oh and as far as the challenge goes, the no potatoes thing is going to be tough for me....

Caltania Β Β 218 Posted November 1, 2019 Day 1! 1. Avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day (so far so good, despite our treat table being LOADED with goodies today...) 2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing 3. CW 245.4, BMI 39.6 4. Today's question: What are you most grateful for today? Today I'm feeling grateful for a lot of things, but since I'm in the midwestern US, I'm going to have to say I'm especially grateful for warm sweaters and blankets, because it's been COLD this week! Brrrrr. 5 Cheeseburgh, Orchids&Dragons, KarenLR75 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffySaysForkIt! Β Β 823 Posted November 1, 2019 1. Personal goal: Drink more Water & continue to try out new on plan recipes that the family can get on board with. 2. Surgery type: RNY five months ago. Still losing and working toward first goal weight. 3.Stats: CW 195.4 lbs - BMI 29.7 4. What I am most grateful for today: Today I am grateful for my parents and their continued health. Something not to be taken for granted by myself for sure. π 3 GreenTealael, Orchids&Dragons and MarvelGirl25 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchids&Dragons Β Β 9,047 Posted November 1, 2019 1. My personal goal for this month is to get back to regular exercise, even though it's not part of the challenge. Also, to clean up my diet. I've been having a self-indulgent little pity party going on since August and it needs to stop, 2. I had the sleeve Feb, 2018. Revision to Rny last Halloween. Maintaining 3. 151#, 24 bmi 4. Besides my family (given!) I'm most grateful for getting a "reset" button for my health and the possibilities that opens up for me. 2 MIZ60 and FluffySaysForkIt! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
