I am in, Bea...again, thanks for all your hard work and motivation! Sw 169.2 Goal 160

OMG! Re-weighed myself this morning and I am 169.6! Finally broke into the 160's! Amazing what a weekend of heavy yard work can do!

Finally moving in the right direction! Cw 5/18: 170.7

The fitbit flex is awesome. I am not sure why the reviews aren't stellar, but I know 5 other people who have the fitbit flex and they love it as much as I do!

My nephew just got one for my sister for her birthday. She LOVES it!

Cw 172.4. Wrong direction!!!

Today's weight 171.3. Going slooooowwwwly

I have been using my fitbit since November and have synced it with MFP and the Aria scale. I just love it! It motivates me to park further away, take the stairs and challenge myself to increase my amount of activity everyday. MFP is the best food,diary tool out there and syncs perfectly with my fitbit. The Aria scale is also a great tool. All of these items/apps have been essential tools in my weight loss journey.

I'm in for Memorial Day challenge. SW 171.9 Goal 167

Weight this morning..171.8 Lost a few pounds, but didn't make goal; however the challenge did motivate me! So count me in on Memorial Day Challenge! Thanks Bea for all your work..Have a very Happy Easter!

Happened to me too...hang in there..you will start to drop. Make sure you get your protein and liquids in each day.

175 Gained...frustrated.

Today's weight 172.4

The VSG procedure has been the best decision of my life (other than marrying the love of my life). It is truly up to me how successful the surgery will be. The numbers on the scale went steadily down and I felt that there was no need to exercise, but when I saw the numbers level off, I had to admit that exercise is a big part of this journey. 10, 15, or 20 minutes a day makes a big difference....and it is so much easier to move. Besides this website and the Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve, I rely heavily on my fitness Pal and my fitbit. These tools really keep me in check as far as nutrition, how much I move in a day and my weight. I think if I had started an exercise regimen earlier, I would probably be another 10 lbs. lighter already. So I am looking forward to the spring weather to motivate me. My Dr. told me that My goal should be to lose another 35 by my surgiversary and I am determined to meet that goal. These forums are so motivating and inspirational to me and the challenges such as the Easter challenge really help to keep me in the game. Thanks to everyone for all of your posts, comments and advice.

Good Morning Bea. Today's weight is 173.2 3/30/14. Have a great week!

Hoping that this Easter challenge will break my stall! Thank you Bea! CW 175 GW 168 Good luck everyone!

Never did a challenge. Sounds like a great motivator. Thanks for taking the lead..I'm in!
