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!

Okay, the picture thing is a little frustrating....

I'd love to post one, I made myself take it, but I can't figure out how to make it small enough....

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!!

      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.
