Fall Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Okay ladies and gents, you asked for it, a Fall Weight Loss Challenge.

How it works:

This challenge will be for a 10 week period, starting today, September 5th and ending Monday, November 14th (just in time for all that Turkey and other goodies on Thanksgiving). Everyone is welcome to participate.

1. Make a weight loss goal for the 10 week period.

2. Post your start weight as of the day you join the challenge.

3. Post a photo of yourself at your weight as of the date you start the challenge.

4. Weigh in each Monday and post your progress here.

5. At the end of the 10 weeks post an after photo of yourself so we can all join in seeing and celebrating your accomplishment.

My starting weight this morning for the challenge is 251.

My goal is to lose 20lbs in the next 10 weeks. I will post a before picture (which is my Summer Weight Loss Challenge after photo) later today or tomorrow morning sometime.

I love these challenges! They help keep me motivated, and help to keep the scale moving!

OK I'm in I need to take a picture for the challenge. There are no photo's on the board yet of me. THis will be my debut!

I'm 198 and in 10 weeks I would like to be 180 , on second thought 179.9 sounds sooooo much better. So just shy of twnety pounds for me. This will put be in a comfortable 14 or a snug 12. and 30 away from my goal of 150.

Thanks for the challenge!!!!! Lets all kick some butt!!!

Perfect timing for me to be in! I'm just getting started, with a weight of 336.5...so I believe that I am good for 37 pounds. I really want to break the 300 mark!

Im gonna get real here.

When I went for my consultation, my surgeon asked me what weight I wanted to see. My response was 175. He suggested me go for 150. I was in awe - Ive NEVER been 150 after the age of 12.

SO, back to MY original goal...

I want to lose 5 pounds in this challenge (but 10 would be fine with me too).

This would put me at my MY original goal weight.

The heck with getting to 150, I just wanna see 175 (for now)! ;)

Okay, count me in too. I'll try to get my son to take a pic in the morning.

Start for me is 189--goal is 169 by week 10.

I am HIGHLY MOTIVATED right now because my brother is getting married October 29 and there will be family members there that I only see every few years (family weddings and funerals). I sure would like to knock them out with a new, improved Kare!

      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
