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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
