My Tuesday weigh in 1 more pound.

Nice job!! As of today, I still haven't lost; haven't gained, but haven't lost...I need to go to the gym more. This time of year it is packed. They said it will slack off in March when most people give up on their resolutions. If I want to go, I have to go around 9pm to get on the treadmill, and at least this week, I am too tired, since I get up at 4:55.:confused:

Well, things aren't moving fast for me either. I went to a weight loss bible study last night. A fitness trainer came and talked to us about our diet.....70-80g of Protein a day, less than 60 sugars, and not more than 20% of fat a day. Basically it is the same diet my doctor put me on. So, I am working on it. I wish my wii weights would come in so I can start on resistance training. I am back walking, but he said cardio won't burn the calories like resistance exercise. YA think?

By the way, I started drinking EAS Advantage shakes. They are good. 17g of protein.

Well, girls, lets keep going. I know we will have victory if we don't give up.

Later!

Glad you made it home safely in this weather. Yeah, I have been reading the Beck Diet. You don't need the workbook....it is the same.

I am having a bad calorie day. Trying to fight this sweet tooth I have . Better stick my face in a book or go for a walk.

Kimaly, same here......no gain or loss. I am still doing the Beck Diet and now the bible study on Monday. We weighed and measured last night. Yuck! The Beck Diet is about putting positive statements on post-its and index card. So, I am going to put up scripture too. The Battlefield of the Mind is about how we entertain negative thoughts and they turn into negative actions.

Okay, going to go walk. I got my wii weights, but I couldn't find the wii walking tape. I guess I will see if I can use them with the wii fitness tape.

We can do this! I hope all of you have a prosperous day!

LOL, I guess my age is showing also because I didn't catch that until your next post. Do you have the weights that velcro around your ankles or wrist? That's the type I have and I use them on the Wii fit plus with the step exercise on my wrist and the running in place on my ankles.

Mine have a clip on thing that holds the remote or you can take it off and use them without the remote. I only paid

$10.00 for them. I found them at Big Lots(a closeout store)

I'm really trying to stay with it this time, I have a bad habit of starting and not following thru with the exercise. I was kinda mad at that Wii, When I made my Avitar they made her fat as soon as I got on the scale. Too funny, hope I can get her smaller soon. It also said I should try to get down to 132lbs, I'm not even trying to hear that, I just lowered my goal weight to 150lbs and I think I'll be fine with that. It will put me at a normal BMI and if it ever happens, No more complaining about my weight I will just work on maintaining.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
