Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010



Recommended Posts

I am really excited about this challenge. During the Christmas challenge I lost 9lbs and for this challenge I would like to lose 12. Losing an additional 12 lbs will be 60% of my excess weight---- gone!!!

Ok, I have added myself to the speadsheet and it's time to get to work...NO EXCUSES FOR ME.B)

1st timer for a challenge. I have got to find some motivation. I have gained 11 lbs since October when I had to have an unfill. (I was banded in May 06 and was 7 lbs from my goal of 70.)

Hi All! I just joined today. Need that extra push so I can keep motivated AND wear something flirty and fun for the big V-DAY (which is, more importantly, my DH's birthday!)

I am getting disappointed in myself. I am up 2 pounds or so and I have every excuse in the book. I am now going to purge those excuses and lay them on the line because I'm getting tired of them swimming around in my head and I'm hoping you'll help me be accountable...

  • I'm eating things I shouldn't because:I'm just finishing my period, it's the holidays, one piece of pumpkin gooey butter cake with whipped cream won't hurt (once a day for four days...)
  • I'm not working out because: it's the holidays and I'm home with the kids, it's freezing outside, the inside walking track is closed until the 4th

And here's what I should be saying: Eat normally! Don't pig out or eat a lot of things you shouldn't just because it's the holidays! Quit making excuses you lazy butt! Crack open your brand new Wii Fit and get rolling!

SO, I went shopping the clearance racks yesterday and "bought" some motivation. We're going to Jamaica from March 6-11 for our 10 year anniversary and I want to lose 20-25 pounds by then. Talk about a challenge--but those clothes hanging in my closet should help get me off my duff.

OK, I've laid it out there. It feels good. Now, I start over with a better day today, and tomorrow, and the next day. AND, I'm going downstairs right now to throw away all the crap in this house! Here I go!

ETA: Well, the pumpkin gooey butter cake is down the sink along with candy Cane Joe Joe's Cookies and my mom's pecan balls. I put it in the trash and took it back out and put it in the garbage disposal. Deep cleansing breath. That was HARD. All the other stuff we have I do not care about. The kids have pretzels and other cookies that I don't look twice at. If they miss the stuff I pitched, too bad! They should have eaten them quicker!

I'm a little late to the party but I'm in! I did the Labor Day challenge but failed horribly...I just got a fill and I'm cruising along now. I'm more motivated this time around and I would love to set another goal. Since this started around Thanksgiving I'm going to use my weight from then as the starting (I didn't lose anything for months until last week anyway).

      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.
