Count me in. I have been on my journey for a year now, and the pounds are coming off slower. So, my goal is 10 pounds by Valentines day.. stretch would be 15 lbs...

good luck and follow those band rules....

I weighed in Wednesday. I lost 4 pounds last week! I'm so excited. It has been coming off so slow...1 pound a week so I'm thrilled for a 4 pound week!

Last week I did exactly what my surgeon says I'm suppose to do....3 meals a day with a fork, no snacking. Oh, also I didn't have any sweets! Amazing!

15 pounds is my V-Day goal.....4 gone, 11 to go!!:confused:

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that this is a wonderful year for everyone.

I am going to be joining a new ladies gym that reopened in the next town, tomorrow. Access to a gym close enough that it was feasible to drive to has been a problem. Best of luck all.

I want to do this challenge too! I am going to shoot for 3 pounds a week, so that would be at least 21 lbs putting me a beautiful new weight of--221 lbs! That would be amazing.

So here goes, this challenge will be amazing!

Karebare714 - 6 pounds that's awesome!!

I'm checking in after being away for a few days because of the holidays. I'm down 2.5 pounds and only 13.5 to goal. I'm only 4 pounds from 350 and that may still be a lot of weight but from where I started I'm feeling great. It's been a really long time since I can say I was below that and 340 is just around the corner from there.

I got my clearance today to get into some more intense exercising which I'm stoked about. I've been limited to walking and a few minutes on the eliptical. But now I'm cleared to start swing the golf clubs, throwing the heavy bowling ball again and more importantly being able to do some lifting and a more intense cardio routine. Can down begin to do sit ups crunchs and push ups as well. :tongue2:

Keep all the good efforts up and let's see how much weight we can all lose together.

Sounds like we are all doing really well towards our valentines day goals. i only am trying to weigh on mondays (i am in a self impoosed 12-step program for scale addicts!!) so won't know how i am doing but feel like i am doing well. had my first appointment with a personal trainer today and am meeting with her tomorrow too and then 3 times a week. i am SO EXCITED to get into a real routine. And it should help get me to my 15 pound valentine goal to boot! have a great weekend everyone!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
