Hey Steph, I think the last couple of people didn't realise it is a Nov 07 group. I guess whatever helps them get to goal! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know they weren't paying attention. I guess what gets me is if you're going to be unconscious, at least TRY to notice that there are other people around besides yourself. I guess the "world revolves around me" attitude runs rampant where I work and it gets old. Not to jump on anyone. I just wish more people would pay attention to what they're doing.

I guess I should have said "November Nymphs Weight Loss Challenge" when I started the thread. Do the threads show up anywhere else on the site other than under our group month? I don't understand how others would find this challenge unless they were looking under November 2007. Oh well, the more the merrier I guess.

Yeehaw! I'm in the 160's...FINALLY. Just about 5.5 more pounds (164) and I'll be at a lower weight than I've been in probably 10 years. I lost a ton of weight in HS, but gained it back throughout my senior year and then some after I graduated. I then proceeded to struggle with my weight after that. I was able to maintain about 165-175 when I was about 22.

Well, I'm pretty sure that they click on the link for viewing ALL new posts, which shows the entire bulletin board regardless of where stuff is posted. I'm not annoyed that they're joining the challenge. I'm annoyed when they start cutting people out of the list because they're paying so little attention - that's just inconsiderate.

I have always looked in on November Nymph's as I had my surgery in December... which iby the way is only a couple weeks after many of you.

How sad that anyone would even make a pathetic remark about people being in the wrong spot!?!?!?!?

I thought we were all here for one reason?? I wont' be back to this particular thread!

There's no need to be overly sensitive. I said that I didn't mind that you guys joined the challenge. What bothered me was people getting cut out of the challenge because someone wasn't paying attention. I think THAT is rude and very inconsiderate to the people in the group. Think I'm rude if you wish - not a big deal. I'm not going to lose any sleep.

But I will point out - she cut you out of the list as well, MrsKryz. If i had a problem with you being in "the wrong spot" (I NEVER SAID THAT), then I wouldn't have added your name in the list on my post right after yours.

I thought that this challenge would happen for me but it seems I am wrong. I am at 5cc but still able to eat a fair amount of food. I have another fill appointment this Wednesday, so I'm hoping that another 1cc might do the trick. Hopefully I will be able to post a weight loss soon.

Of course it doesn't help that I keep grazing!!

Good grief. This seems to be a "skinny person's" challenge. I'm jumping in to add some heft to the group! When did you all get so darn little?:)

Well, Foofy - if it makes you feel any better, I keep gaining and losing the same pounds. It's starting to tick me off. I'm 3 pounds above ticker. :wub: I'm even being good and I gain. It's really frustrating. Hopefully by next weigh-in (next Monday), I'm down something, or it'll be hard not to run the damn scale over with the car.

Lets see if putting out 5lbs to lose will kick start my weight loss. Been on a wicked plateau...but ok with it.

Speaking of plateaus, I've been up and down the same 5 pounds for 3 months! I'm seeing the nurse practitioner on Friday. Time to cave and get another fill. If I can only lose by choking down liquids, so be it. I'm getting a bit panicky!

      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.
