Labor Day Challenge? WHOO HOO!! That would be my birthday this year. So Sept 5 Monday is Labor Day. I am ALL IN on this one for sure.

Thanks Zoe on the compliment on the new avatar. It was taken the day we went to our friends wedding. I was sick as a dog with a cold. Felt like shit. LOL!!

20lbs by Labor Day is my goal. I go in for my 3rd fill next week and I'm hoping it will be the one that actually gets me to real restriction.

Ohhhh....to be 175lbs. I can't begin to tell you all the clothes in my closet that would fit me that don't right now. It would be like inheriting a whole new wardrobe.

Keep me in line....PLEASE!

I am getting married on August 28. I would love to lose 30 lbs by then, but I will be happy with 20.

Since a lot of people missed this post, I'll repost it =) I believe this is the current plan... as I said, I'll be implementing the necessary code changes to to the challenge software this weekend... we should be able to start on Monday.

For the next challenege, I'd like to do a before/after challenge, complete with pictures. A summer challenge, ending on Labor day sounds about right to me. I can update the software I wrote to include the ability to upload a before picture, and a current/after picture (that could change as often as people wanted to upload one.) The scale doesn't always tell the whole stories... pictures don't lie! =) (Well, ok, they can... but let's say they can't for the sake of supporting my argument.)

Just an idea =)

Add me to THAT list!!!LOL I havent done one of these challenges yet!I weighed myself this morning and was down to 250 woowhoooo 40 lbs!!! But my scale is weird sometimes-it could be more,less,or right on par~ lol.

Unfortunatly i dont have very many before pics...I didnt even want to see or have it known my pic was being taken : I`ll track one down though.

I just wanted to encourage all those that start this challenge to NOT give up in the middle.

Many of us may gain weight and become embarassed to post it, or not lose as fast as someone else/others... regardless! The ONLY way we get support is to allow each other into our "world"!

So please, dont give up... I promise, when this challenge ends, you will have lost something!

Even if you want to give an update every 2 weeks or monthly!

I find it easier to go for a "goal" then just lose whatever at my own pace. :)

Good luck everyone!

      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.
