July 4th Challenge - 120 days



Recommended Posts

For all those that enjoyed the VD goal challenge, here is a longer 120 day challenge. Set a goal for yourself to lose by July 1, 2009. I weigh 340.1 today and my goal will be 30 to 40 pounds for anything for my between 300 and 310.00.

Post your goal, post your progress and stay on thread with your ups (successes) and downs (fallen off point). I will be here for you and you need to be here for me.

Set a goal that is a bit unrealistic yet attainable. Something that will push you to exercise, stay on the food regiment and something that will get you going and stay going.

For me, I haven't been below 300 pounds in over a century so this challenge is huge for me. When I achieve this goal, my first 100 pounds plus will be gone forever and half of my total weight goal done....finished..

Join me as we strive to reach our goals and lose this weight forever!!

peace.................

Well guys, I will be banded on 3/16/09. I just started my pre-op diet today. Since this is a longer challenge, would it be okay if I joined in?

I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs on the pre-op and a total of 30 by the end of the challenge.

Ok, I'm in. I also am training to do a triathalon. No, not an ironman, but a begginer sprint. 1/4 mile swim/13mile bike/3 mile run. I'm just looking to finish.

      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
