I'll be weighing myself tomorrow...haven't weighed in about a week. DH's kids were here and then we went out to visit his son and I had one day where I was not good. I'm back on track, but I guess I have to hop on the scale tomorrow and see how much damage one day can do.

So...from whatever my starting weight is, I'd love to lose 15. :confused: I'll add my stats tomorrow. I think this challenge is exactly what I need for a kick in the butt right now. It is HARD getting back into my regular gear today. But I HAVE to. Thank goodness I have a fill coming up a week from Wednesday. I swear the hunger monster wants a piece. :paranoid

To all you Valentine's Day Challenge Nymphs!

I had an idea. I am going to start a thread every week that you can post your weekly weigh in until we get to Valentine's Day. I will have the thread read "November Nymph Valentine's Day Challenge Week 1 Update". This way the updates won't get lost in this thread and I want everyone to read it through to see all the successes. If anyone has a better idea let me know because I want to make it easier for everyone.

I love small challenges because it easier to look at than 118lbs. Do you agree?

Good luck and the weight begin melting.

I managed to not lose a single ounce this past week. *sigh* So I'm buckling down on my exercise (walked 1.8 miles last night, half of it uphill and then I walked most of the stairs for my patrols) and going back to one regular meal, two Slim-Fast shakes. I don't seem to lose when I have 3 regular meals EVEN if I'm under 900 calories for the day. Absurd. Whatever. I guess I'll do what I have to do to get this stuff off. I wanna be in Onederland, already! I have a weigh-in with the doc on the 23rd for my fill. I'd like to be at least 5.5 lbs lighter by then.

Sounds good to me, Cindy! I really like the idea of this challenge. It really gives me something to look forward to. And I LOVE the thought that I'll be in the 180's for my anniversary (Valentine's Day)! I'll be 18.5 lbs over the weight I was when we met. I'm so excited! :clap2:

That is such a great goal to look forward too! Have you anything planned for your Anniversary? This would be a good time to plan something special. Maybe a quiet get-a-way.

Once I reach 275, this will be a milestone for me because it was the weight I was when I was beginning to have my children. I remember not wanting to tell my weight to the hospital in front of my husband because I did not want him to know how overweight I was. Now, my oldest child is 14; so that is a long time.

Also, the 60lb milestone was big for me because I have never gone beyond 60lbs and maintained it and with my Band I know that I am going to pass 60lbs and keep it off. I am looking forward the 3/4 quarter century mark with a aggressive passion.

Mini goals are great for motivation aren't they. Good luck!

Cindy

Ok, I'm in, but no way can i keep up with your impressive double digt expectations. I'm on the slow losers thread, have no restriction and after six weeks ready to eat a house!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
