Celebrate the New Year with a New You Challenge



Recommended Posts

Congrats to those who are losing weight on this challenge! Me? I had gained 4 to bring me to 195 and lost 4 these past few days with my little fill. So back to 191. Hopefully I'll cross over into the 180's in a few days.

Bandpal, you can hit those food groups in one town. I can't eat pizza either but my family thinks its funny when I strip the cheese off and leave the dough which cuts out half the calories. The cheese is the best part anyway.

doesn't look like I'm going to make goal this challenge, but I'll take a 12 pound loss during the holiday season with no complaints, thank you. And remember - it ain't over yet!

The New Year challenge is officially over and the winner is.....Bandpal with a 10.5 lb loss!! Lindata was also a winner as she achieved her goal with an extra pound to spare!!

Time for a new challenge. How about a Valentine challenge or should we take the next one to spring? Any thoughts or ideas?

Congrats to Bandpal and Lindata!!!

I'm ready for a new challenge! You know me I love them. The first day of spring is March 20. Valentine's Day is a little over 4 weeks away. Why don't we go for a Spring challenge. That gives us closer to 8 weeks. I'm getting close to my ideal weight. Maybe in 8 weeks I can get there. :)

Then spring it is, Wendy. I'll try to come up with something catchy. Congrats on getting so close to goal. I hope this is the year that we all see that magic number on the scale!

Oh well another challenge down by the wayside for me. This is a great time to start a new one now that all the major eating is over. Look forward to the Spring (Autumn :wink_smile:) Challenge.

I actually saw my goal weight of 168 for like ONE day in Dec. Then the holidays came and a run in with a box of cupcakes!!! Well, you get the idea.

Anyway, I will weigh myself tomorrow and join the new challenge. Winter is a tough time for me. I hate the cold weather and do not get my walking in, so it has to be a lot of food control for me, not easy without a band, but I'll do my best. I always consider it a win for me if I just stay the same!

      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.
