In fact, if Paula wants to help, I can give her access to it and she can update it too -- or I can do it, I don't care. =)

LOVED that idea Jonathan. And you can just do the updates if you want - no need to give me access to your site.

Can you add everyone's name? Lets see, there is:

Wade

Nancy

Jamie

Zoe

Darcy

Becky

Penni

Bigmom

Michelle

Blossom

Becca

Illsucceed

Betty

Jonathan (you)

Paula (me)

Id like for it to be in alphabetical order.

Becky suggested the end date being May 22, but I think it would be better to stick to June 1... 12 pounds in 12 weeks! (I need that extra space Becky :cool: )

Yikes Penni - Im with ya! I gained 2 pounds this week as well, so my starting weight is 202.

Anyone else want to join???

-12 pounds X 12 weeks.... (seems so easy, ha!)

Mondays sound good to me. I'm up a pound to 212, but I refuse to change my signature. I think it's just monthly Water weight. . . couldn't possibly have anything to do with that handful of M&Ms I had last night!

Jonathan, there's no need to "handicap" your participation just 'cause you have a Y chromosome. One-for-one should work. I'll race you: Can you get to 299 before I get to 199? (Undoubtedly you can.) I don't want to offend anyone who might perceive this side bet as pressure to lose weight -- just want to add a little spice to the challenge!

I have an idea for the winner....

how about everyone donate a small sum of money ($1, 5 but no more then $10) to that person's favorite charity in our own areas (for example: women's shelter, food pantry, orphanage, animal shelter - these are places that every city has) - does this make sense?

Do yall want the winner to be the one that gets to their goal first - OR the one that loses the most by June 1???

Sounds to me like both ideas are good one. I think the actual weight loss should be the why to declare a winner. Just my opinion.

Ok, it's updated with what I have so far. Some of you indicated your weight to the tenth's. I always omit the decimal when I report my weight. So, as long as I'm 299.9, I'm 299. That's the way I wrote the software -- using integers instead of floats (er, that just means it won't accept the decimal places). I can change it, if people want me to...

But there's so much handicap to having that Y chromosome everywhere else :cool: There's the selective hearing loss, the inability to change diapers, etc. =)

The *99 side-challenege is a go, Zoe =) I hope we both tie...soon!

        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
