Valentine's Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

I loved the New Year Challenge, so I thought I would do another one!

There are 44 days until Valentine's day (6.3 weeks to help you figure out how much you want to lose)

I would like to lose 10 lbs by then.

Start: 172

Finish: 162

What do you say? Interested?

Count me in! The small goals really help to keep me on track.

My birthday is March 3 and I'm shooting for my 100 pound loss by then. I have 17.5 pounds until then. So, I will set my Valentine's Day goal for 13 down. I am 231 so that will put me at 218.

For those of you that didn't make goal and don't feel like doing another challenge, that is all the more reason to do it. Come on people, we've gone through a lot to get this far, so get those bodies movin'.

I need something to get me going!

I'm in for 1.5lbs per week which is about 10lbs. This is a stretch as I've gained recently and plateaued before that. When I do lose, its been an average of 1 lb per week.

Good luck everyone!!:tongue2:

      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.
