Final Thursday Check - Valentine's Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

First of all, let me apologize for missing last week. I had a family emergency and everything got put on the back burner.

We can use this thread for our final weigh in's on Saturday. I know I am not going to make my 10 lb goal, but I may hit 5.

I looked at what I was eating and found that I was having a glass of wine each night, sometimes 2. I stopped that and think that helped me jump start again. I also found out that I am Vit D defecient and started back on the prescription form.

Start: 174

Now: 169

I don't know if I will lose anymore by Saturday, but who knows!

How did everyone else do with the challenge?

Hi Gilta,

Well I'm not going to make my 20 pound goal, but thats okay I lost 8 pounds. Any loss is better than none. I got a fill yesterday so I'm on liquids for the next two so maybe I'll lose 2 or 3 more. My margarita's this past weekend didn't help me. Mardi Gras starts this weekend so I'm going to try my best and behave (hopefully this fill works very well).

Hope everything is okay with your family!

** Happy Valentines Day **

***Happy Mardi Gras***

:biggrin:

I've just made my Valentine's Day challenge goal as of this morning:

Starting weight: 169.7lbs

Goal: 159lbs

Today 158.6lbs

Well done everyone for your losses! Any loss is less weight than you had 6 weeks ago, so be proud of every single lb gone!

So, what's our next challenge going to be? Lol!

Start: 191.2

Goal: 181.2

Finish: 184.4

Loss: 6.8lbs

I'm really happy with that. I didn't think I was even going to do that much. I've been pretty sick all week so had a 3lb loss this week. Hopefully it holds once I get my appetite back!

Good job everyone!

Lellow, what about Easter as a new challenge? It's Sunday, April 12th this year. That would be about 8 weeks (if I counted right) starting tomorrow.

If everyone wants and Gilta wants a break, I don't mind doing the weekly threads for it. Let me know.

Gilta, hang in there. You've got a lot going on, it sounds like. Take care of yourself! (((Hugs)))

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
