I'm in!

154.8

At 6 weeks, I was down 18lbs from my surgery weight. Today, I'm just over 10 months and down 100. I remember feeling like I would never make goal at 6 weeks because it was coming off so slow… but I'm 18lbs away now. It's hard to be patient, but stick with your plan… you'll get there!

157… clearly last week was a fluke!

Goal 150
Still in weight loss mode!

This might give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Count me in!

I lost a lot of weight years ago on Atkins, so I already knew that eating low carb worked well for me. Since surgery, I've stayed focused on hitting my Protein & Water goals. These days, I typically get 100-120 protein and keep my carbs around 50ish (mainly from vegetables). I also told myself that there's nothing that I can't have, because that just sets me up for failure. But at almost 11 months post op, I still choose not to eat highly processed foods most of the time. I also started working out 6 days a week at about 4 months out, and lots of walking. The key for me was making small, sustainable changes and not looking at this as being on a diet. This is my life now, and every change I've made has been something that I'm comfortable doing forever. Follow the plan and find what works for you… you'll get there!

My surgeon's original goal was 175, which I reached on 6/23/16. New goal is 150, and I'm hoping to be thereby my surgiversary!

At 6 weeks, I was down 18lbs from my surgery weight. Today, I'm just over 10 months and down 100. I remember feeling like I would never make goal at 6 weeks because it was coming off so slow… but I'm 18lbs away now. It's hard to be patient, but stick with your plan… you'll get there!

A week late for the challenge, but I made my goal of 168 today! Onward and upward… or make that downward. 18 more to my final goal!

169.2. After starting the challenge with a 3 week stall & that big loss last week, I'm ok with not hitting my challenge goal. Thank you so much for doing this!! Can't wait for the next one!
