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.

      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.
