Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010



Recommended Posts

I would like to join the challenge also. I added myself to the spreadsheet. I have tried to do a couple of the challenges before but I wasnt very successful with checking in bc I was in nursing school at the time...now I have completed the program and have no excuses so I hope to lose 20lbs by Valentines Day! Thanks for the challenge everyone!

Well - the 2 WEEKS of Christmas are over. Thank goodness! The good news is that I did not gain any from my last post. The bad news is I was down 3 and now back up 3. 18 to go and 6 weeks. It makes this much more of a stretch! But, back on track today. Funny how making my mind up to eat right makes me less hungry.....if only our stomachs weren't attached to our minds.....

I lost about 4 pounds this week :) I was surprised though because stayed steady for a week and thought I was plateauing again already. So apparently what I'm doing is working! If I can keep it up, I can still make my goal.

Getting back in was easier than I thought. Even with a funeral and 2 snow days with the kids. Now if I can just get these girl scout Cookies out of my house without too much damage it will be smooth sailing to the smallest Valentines Day in many years!

Well, I have not loss any this week. Up and down those 1 lb. I am going to get a fill next Tuesday so hopefully, I have some restriction. I want to be at my sweet spot so bad because I am hungry all the time.

OK, so today is day 5 of the pouch test and, I am not following through with day 5. I've been really working out hard, and having some issues with changing my anti-depression meds (I know, TMI), and it just wasn't worth the last day, I'm sorry to let you down! I did lose three pounds though and I don't feel like snacking. I do feel as though I'm back on track and not craving sugar and carbs so that is a really good thing. I hope to keep on the weight loss track cause that 6 week plateau was pure hell!

      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.
