New November Nymphs Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any ideas for the next weight loss challenge? Perhaps a "May Day" challenge?

I have found these little goals to be so motivational. They really have helped me to keep my ass in gear!

I definitely want to participate in this one. The first day of summer is June 21st, right? So maybe do a 1st of may challenge (may day as you called it) and the following one can be a start of summer challenge?

How long do we want it to last. We could do an Aprils Fools Day to Memorial day challenge. That's about eight weeks. I'm open to anything!

I'll weigh in tomorrow for Spring Challenge end. I had first set my goal at 184 and I'll make that, but I changed it mid stream to 182, won't make that one.

Thankfully fill is tomorrow! My personal goal to stay on track for the "fit into a nice mother of the groom dress" is 181 by end of March. Hope this fills works!

I kind of like short-term challenges. Is everyone down with "May Day" (that would keep with the tradition of Thursday weigh-ins)? Otherwise, "Cinco de Mayo" is cool...it's a snazzier name. Just tell me what to start and I'll do it! :thumbup:

Trixie,

I don't care which one we use, May Day or Cinco De mayo. My weigh in day is Wednesday, but it's no big deal one way or other. I can post my post my results any day. Thanks for doing this. :thumbup:

Hello,

How do the challanges work? I was banded 11/26 and have only lost about 15 lbs so far. I finally have the right amount of restriction and I am ready to kick it into gear. Please let me know what I need to do to participate in the challange.

Thanks!

What do you all think?

Maybe do a Cinco De mayo Challenge (May 5th?) and then a Spring Into Summer Challenge (June 21st)?

I like that idea Lizzie! I have begun a new thread for the Cinco de Mayo challenge. Hope to see you there!

Hi Peaches! Yes, join our challenge and our November banders group. I was banded the day after you!

We set a goal weight loss for the time period. Example, it's a five week period and you decide you'd like to lose 8 pounds in that five weeks, so you set your goal weight 8 pounds less than you weigh at sign in. We post on a new thread ( labeled May 1st or Cinqo de mayo week 1) and list our weight lost each week. Sometimes we fall short and sometimes we exceed our goal, either way it's just to support each other and to stay focused.

Look under the November 2007 support group for the new thread each week.

We;ll be watching for you to join us.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
