Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

If it's not to late, I would like to join the challenge. I had my lapband on 3/30/09 and I've lost 53 pounds. I had foot surgery on 12/2, and I can't walk (for exercise purposes until 1/7). I can lift weights though, and I really need the push. I feel like I am stalling. What do I need to do to join? Thanks so much! Tracye:redface:

@ babertm, lingra and skinnygirl welcome to the VWC it not to late to start, i would love for as many ppl to do this with me as possible, i really want to lose this weight. we have been checking in on mondays as far as weight, but feel free to come through the wk too just write and say how u did for that day or whatever. @ skinnygirl i do understand where u are coming from with wanting to wait until the new yr and thats fine i think i myself, maybe eatting a lil much for xmas, well as much as i can handle anyway lol. but any tips or anything u guys want ot share will be great. i try to walk every day at lease a mile sum times i run sum. and im eatting bake chicken and a lot of salads. if i can cut my late nite snacking out i will be doing great. "off we go"

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

I would like to join in. I haven't weighed in a while, but I'd like to be under 300 by Valentines Day.

And if you need help with a spreadsheet or whatever you'd like to use to keep track, I would be happy to help, I use Excel all day at work.

I will update later with a starting weight and my plan, which is still to be determined.

I missed last Monday, but would still like in on this challenge. My starting as of today is 222. I would like to be under 200 by Valentine's day, not sure if it will happen, but if I lose at least 10-15, I will still be happy.

Happy Holidays everyone :thumbup:

OMG... I had my first gain since I started this process. It is a little one and I know I wasn't good over the weekend as we were out of town but I'm not happy about it.

I gained .2 this week. That puts me at a total of 3.9 since we started so I have 16.1 more to go with the challenge I set for myself. I'm now at 206.1.

I really need to get back on track and watch what I eat when I'm out of town. I didn't get any exercise in over the weekend and didn't come close to having enough Water to drink.

Today is a new day and I've started off good with going to the gym this morning. This will be a better week!

      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.
