Christmas Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

:unsure: I am just going to get this over with now instead of prolonging it until tomorrow. I gained 2lbs. this week. It is the first time in the 8 1/2 months since surgery that I have gained anything. It was just a bad food week. It all started with a nacho craving that I just couldn't get out of my system and I gave in and it got me.

I don't think I'm going to make the goal of 20lbs. by Christmas, but as long as I don't gain anymore, I'll be happy.

Hope everyone else did better than me this week. :willy_nilly:

1 lbs this week, Don't think i'm gonna lose 7 more by Christmas but I'll take what I can get. A loss is a loss and puts me 1 step closer to the big goal, So I'm still happy with it.

Hi Jen,

No weight loss.....happy I did not gain. 3 parties.

Don't think I will make 20, but still going to try for 2 pounds next week. (6 pounds total lost, maybe I can do total 10)

Don't beat yourself up Pappyny it will happen. There was 2 months that I gained the same three lbs over and over but now seem to be heading in the right direction and you will too.

Thank you Rangergirl! I'm trying to just move past it, because the more I think about it, the more I sabatoge myself with food. What's done is done.

Tomorrow is a new day! I can do this. I may not lose 20lbs. by Christmas, but any weight lost is weight that I no longer have to carry around with me.

Thanks again. I really needed that :thumbup:

Sorry to report that I didn't loose any weight this week. I still have 9 lbs to go before Christmas. It doesn't look like I'll make the Christmas goal, but I'm setting a new goal in the Valentine's Challenge.

Also, I had severe "female" problems a few months ago and had a uterine ablation. While I do not have a cycle, my body still goes through the whole PMS/bloating thing. Anyway I am going through it right now so hopefully next week it will be over and I will have a loss again.

Well, gained weight after the Thanksgiving holiday and then lost a couple, finally got my first fill, doesn't feel like I got one. Anyway, through all the ups and downs my total weight loss is now standing at 9. Doesn't look like I'm going to make the 20 pound goal but I now just hope I don't gain with all the upcoming parties....

      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.
