I have really enjoyed this challenge. I did not meet my goal of 180 (missed it by 5 lbs) but I did lose 12 lbs in about 8 weeks.

I am pleased with the weightloss and look forward to the next challenge....Good luck!!!

I will not make my goal. But, I am working on my mental block of not getting down on myself. I set a pretty stretch goal. I am at a strange place right now. I have never lost more than 40 lbs before starting the upswing to a higher weight. I think another challenge would be great to help me bust thru this mental block.

Cinco de mayo or Mother's day would be good.

Well, I wont' be making my goal. I had a pretty aggressive one of 30 lbs. given I just got banded in December (3rd) and am still working through Bandster Hell.

Anyway, I did lose 17 lbs in the challenge and hope to increase that before Valentine's Day. Hopefully once I am feeling restriction, I will be able to drop the rest of the weight I wanted to lose for this challenge - and more!

I'm two pounds away from goal...it is possible to make it, but it'll be a close call! I haven't hit a goal yet, so I'll be thrilled if I pull this one out in the end!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
