Valentines challenge/Goal



Recommended Posts

I thought that I would start a thread for us MERRY LOSERS. I like to set mini goals for myself (quicker gratification) keeps me going. So I would like to lose 20lbs and commit to myself to excersise for at least 40 min 4 times a week by Valentines Day .So if anyone else would like to join me with there own goals I thought that we could encourage each other through this new journey!!!!:clap2:

My goal at the moment is to get up to swimming 1km per night. While I'm up at work (mine site), that means 50 laps of the little 20m pool. So far, I did 14 laps the first night, 20 the second and 32 last night (640m). I'm going to go for the lot tonight!! I think it will be a little easier when I get home and can use the 50m pool at the local fitness centre.

Okay, I'm in. I want to be up to 45 minutes on the treadmill walk/running by February 14th and hope to be down 15 pounds by then. Really wanted to write 20 pounds, but my scale is fluctuating to much right now and want to be realistic.

My goal is to lose 100 pounds by September.

DH and I are going on a trip to China in September and I want to be able to climb the Great Wall etc. I figure 100 pounds in 34 weeks isn't too big an ask, it's just under 3 pounds per week and on Monday I have my first appointment with my PT so will be exercising as well. I have little goals along the way, like new shoes etc but this is my main motivation.

Hello everyone how are we all doing less then a month away to meet our mini goals well I have been going to the gym and doing the treadmill but it's been about 8 days and the scale s not going down actually I believe it went up a 1lb. Maybe because I started to eat (mushie stage) and was on liquids before? Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!:tt1:

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

      2. 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
