Freedom Fighters Weekly Weigh In



Recommended Posts

I know the idea of a weekly weigh-in has been thrown around a couple times, but I haven't seen an actual thread started on it, sooooo......

What do you think, weekly weigh in?

If so, what day? I'm partial to weekends, just cuz I'm more likely to weigh myself on the weekends, but I'll go with the majority vote.

Thanks for starting this thread! I'm willing to do whatever day works best for everyone else, but I just joined a Labor Day Challenge on the General Thread, and I think we are going to weigh on Mondays, so I thought I'd throw that out there as a suggestion. I can weigh any day though. I don't mind weighing more than once a week and just tracking the different days' weights on different threads.

since there's only a few of us interested so far, and 2 of us don't care what day, let's go with Amy's suggestion of Monday! :wub:

that is fine with me so are we tracking our losses, do we want to do a start weight or should we use the weights in our tickers as our start weight.

I say we go with whatever we weigh this coming Monday as our starting weights.

i'd really like to see % of weight lost, but i know... that means MATH!

but since i'm heavier than a lot of folks, i like the %'s better. it has more meaning for me.

just my opinion. ;-)

SW- 345 (as of july 10)- i needed a SW

CW-332.6

i can't remember what i weighed on monday so im just going to use my pre-op diet weight as a start weight. we never really discussed a format or anything so this is how i will do mine going forward.

LW WI (last week weigh in)

CW (current weight)

Hi I like this thread. I want to join in. I weighed myself today. I didnt weigh myself before my surgery so I dont know how much I lost preop. I do have my starting weight on the day I was banded though, last Thursday. So four days post op and Ive lost a pound and a half. Not bad.

07/20/2009 -1.5

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--262 (07/20/09)

Eight pounds in two weeks is great, but I admit I was still disappointed it wasn't more since I was on liquids the whole time. I only expect the average 1-2 pounds a week once I can eat more normally, but I thought it would be more for my high BMI being only on liquids. Does that even make sense? Anyway, it's a loss, and I'll take it.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
