Fall Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm joining even though I probably won't lose the weight.

I start at 247. Here are my starting NSVs...

this weekend after the Vegas Bash I had to tighten my seatbelt as opposed to asking for an extender.

I just crossed my (explative deleted) legs!!!!!

Hi, Corrine.

I've been skulking and spying for weeks, getting the nerve to admit that this is my life!

I'm ready.

Can you point me in the direction of how to post a picture and a ticker?

Where do I fill in a profile?:)

So, here it is.

I'm a REAL newby...banded 6 days ago.

Lost 4 pounds pre-surgery and 11 since. Now, I know my body and it's going to figure this out quick, but I am really motivated to 'work' off this weight.

So, my goal is 25 pounds for the challange.

Who wants to meet me on the 'cyber-track'?

Starting next week we can confess how far we walked on a daily basis....

Fall is a wonderful time!:Bunny

I am really excited about meeting all my new 'secret' friends....

Thanks!!! You can join us on this challenge...the one with the prize (Nana's) is the one that excludes newbies (unfair advantage...liquid diets, etc) so come on! Join in! A pic is not required. Just post your start weight (and you don't even have to do that) and pick a goal. Then, go for it! Check in each Monday and let us know how you are doing. Get some motivation. I know over the weekend, I'm tempted to indulge a bit more than I should. When I know I'm weighing in on Monday, it's easier not to. I want to post a pound or two loss!!! Motivation! Come on Starr! Join the Challenge!

And where do I get to see the pictures that y'all say you have posted, but aren't on the message I'm reading??

Okay, I've gotta get some sleep.

I'm still not 100% after the surgery and I do have to be at work early....

But I'm thinking about all my new 'secret' friends who are helping me feel positive about a new way of living.

Thank you, all of you, and Blessings on your sleep tonight!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
