I'm in!!! I put my info in the spreadsheet and froze the first two rows so you could scroll down the spreadsheet and still see the column headings. Hope you don't mind. :blushing: Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone! I am in! I added my info! I hope to breeze right through the 190's!

Thanks for setting this up! Do we have a specific weigh in day? Also, can someone post the link for the spreadsheet on that weigh in day so we don't have to scroll through all the posts?

Can't wait to meet everyone on here!

Hey, I added my information to the sheet also. I hope that I'm not too late to join. I dont know if I will ever make the goal that I put on there, but I have a really good reason to try. What day do we weigh in?

I'm trying to figure out why the spreadsheet is saying some of us have 12 weeks left and some have 13? Any ideas?

I think I have an idea why some say 13 weeks to go and some say 12 weeks to go. As of yesterday(9/3), Thanksgiving is exactly 12 weeks away. The dates on the left hand side where it is saying 13 weeks to go are end of August dates. The dates where it is saying 12 weeks to go are beginning of September dates. I am excited to do this challenge to get me back on track. I got my band last summer and am having a hard time with these last pounds.

Thanks, Colleen

I'm SO close to goal! this is going to get me to it!!!

it may even get me to lower my goal. I'm only 4'10.5 and 120 is at the higher end of my 'ideal weight/bmi', so i have room to lower it.

I already have people telling me i don't need to take the weight loss TOO far though... i think they are just used to seeing me bigger and can't remember how thin i was a long time ago...no one thought anything of it then!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
