How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1



Recommended Posts

Gosh I fell behind. Guess I should set my Feb. Goal :lol:

My current weight is 265 and 8 lbs for 257 as my goal weight for February.

The number just seems so much like fantasy. I've fought with my weight for so many years and yo-yo'd but I've not been this low in weight for over 15 years.

I'm seriously exercising 3 times per week and lightly the other 4 days of the week.

Feeling better, looking better, and it shows

Hey guys!

Congrats on all your successes! Keep up the good work!!!

I am down 5.8lbs this week. Bringing me to 260.4 (I dont remember for sure the last time I was 260lbs!)

Just a reminder: Don't forget to reward yourselves! It doesnt matter whether you lose 0.1lbs or 100lbs, a success is a success!!!

Ok got the spreadsheet updated and reporting in with 1 pound lost this week. Not as good as last week but a pound is a pound and I am happy with it. I have been sick most of this week which has made it harder to get in the exercise I normally do. Well after I am over this sickness I will be onto my normal routine again.

Hi, Per the scale, Am down 3# this week, from 260 to 257. But on a salt binge. My BP was so low, they took me off all the BP meds this week and cut 1 inhalant in 1/2. No longer light-headed but still "'Want Salt!" :crying:Am thinking of doing full liquids for a day to break this obsession-any advice out there?

I'm down 1 more pound...woo hoo! Another one gone.

I've been craving the salt lately too, Sue. I haven't had any of my meds reduced yet :thumbup: but my Dr wants to do blood work in a couple of weeks. I got very lax with taking one of my BP meds and got a lecture last time I went to the Dr because my BP was a little too high still. I hope, I hope, I hope it will go away as I lose weight.

Hello

So this week down 3lbs. I am working out with a trainer 2 days a week and then doing my own thing the rest of the week. We are so busy around the restaurant right now :scared2:because we are in our season (we have snow birds) that i must burn 100's of calories running around at night.

        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
