Congratulations ALL!!! So far I have lost 11.2lbs. I just don't know if I can lose the other 3.8 in 4 days to meet my goal. I have ramped up the exercise so we'll see.

I can't seem to shed anymore right now. On a positive note, I did lose 16.5 pounds since March 6... I'll update my grand total on Tuesday morning! Maybe I can get a few off in the next 4 days. Oh well. 15 pounds in 6 weeks is alot when I hadn't even lost 30 in 5 months! But I'm happy I've started to lose!!! Good luck everyone!

I am .4 lb. away from my 15 lbs. weight loss goal for this Cinco de mayo challenge. I hope to make it by Tuesday. I am so...happy and so...excited that I actually attained a goal. I think this challenge was instrumental in helping me to achieve success with my band.

I hope to meet my goal for this challenge...I have lost over 14 lbs., but not quite the 15 lbs. goal. I also hope someone starts another challenge...July 4th summer challenge perhaps.

Anyway, good luck everyone. This has been great and isn't over yet, so let's finish strong!

Happy Sunday fellow Shrinkos!! I would first like to say that I am so happy to have started and continue this journey with each and every one of you! I finally lost one more pound, and, although not my goal, am so happy! To Delievered: I'm SO glad to have been a part of your motivation! It is exactly that reason I started this challenge. I am going to be on vacation beginning 5/24 so I cannot faithfully keep up with another challenge-anyone else? I will post final results on Wednesday (the 6th). Keep up the good work, the end is in sight!! EDITED TO ADD, believe it or not people, the scale FINALLY moved for me again..WOOOT WOOOT! Nothing like waiting until the last minute huh? I seriously doubt I'm going to lose my final 2lbs by tomorrow, but what a great surprise to wake up to 2 less pounds..yippee..just had to share :Banane45:

Howdy Shrinkos!! Today is the day, the end of this challenge and I think we did fantastically! We still have until the end of today, and I will repost tomorrow, but I just had to post that I LOST 3LBS this morning!!! I am still looking a little like this --->:thumbdown: I cannot believe I not only met but surpassed my goal (I did NOT think it was going to happen)! It just goes to show everyone who was in the same boat as me. After 2 full weeks of plateaus BOOM 3lbs.

Hang in there everyone. I find it fitting that tonight is the final episode of the Biggest Loser and we are ALL BIG LOSERS (in the best possible way of course!) Everyone get in their liquid diets and last chance workouts (kidding btw) and I will post and tally the weight loss tomorrow (no burritos and beer tonight :tt2:)

      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.
