223.4

I forgot to post when the challenge started. Oops! SW: 226.2 GW: 199.8 Today's weight is 224. Thanks!

One of my first posts on this forum was in the "What was your straw that broke the camel's back?" thread. I just went back and found it... "Going to a birthday party with my 7-year-old daughter for one of her friends and the activity was hiking up a moderate/difficult trail. 3 minutes in I felt like I was going to pass out but I was trying to keep on trucking like it was no big deal. The kids were all running ahead, the other moms were just walking along and chatting away, and I was just focusing on trying not to sound like I was huffing and puffing and two steps away from dying. It was the worst." That was an embarrassing afternoon. I think we went about 1/4 of a mile and it was pure torture. But now I'm down 75 pounds and yesterday I went back to that mountain with my son and his Cub Scout den. I conquered that mountain!! We hiked about 3 miles and I kept up with the group and was only out of breath on one particularly steep part! I felt awesome when I got to the top! Hiking is so not my thing and I didn't enjoy it at all but I did it!

I'm in! CW: 226 GW: 210

I can wrap a towel around myself and there's NO gap! I can finally wear my wedding rings again. I took them off when I was pregnant 5 years ago and they haven't even been close to fitting again until recently. I got to shop in Target's regular clothing section yesterday!

228.2 I didn't make my goal of 225 but I still lost 17 lbs during the challenge. Looking forward to the next one!

Down 71 pounds and feeling pretty good!

I was cleared for salad at 7 weeks. I'm 3 months out now and eat them often. My little salads are full of protein, at least 20g. I have my veggies but I add bacon, hard boiled egg, grilled chicken, and cheese. I chop everything up tiny so there's a mix of protein and veggies in every bite. I also use Bolthouse Farms yogurt dressing.

Your protein looks great. I'm surprised that you can eat all that though. At 3 weeks I couldn't even finish one egg in 30 minutes. I think I struggled to get in 400 calories at that point. I'm now almost 3 months out and just upped my calories to 800.

I was sleeved 7/27 and I'm down 40 pounds (65 including pre-op). I'm pleased with that but wish it was more, I've been through two stalls that each lasted two weeks.

235.8 Hit 65 pounds gone! I'm coming or you, Onederland!

I eat a boatload of shrimp. My current fave is buffalo shrimp with blue cheese yogurt dressing. So much protein in shrimp!

238.2 today! I had a great weigh-in this morning, -4.6!

I'm down 63 pounds and I'm still wearing my original bras. I haven't even moved from the last hook, so I'll be wearing these for awhile longer. So you may not have to replace bras as often as you're thinking.

Fairly regular. I feel like I'm doing everything right and don't know what I could change, so it's just frustrating. I eat mostly chicken and shrimp, get 80-100g of protein a day, and average 600-700 calories a day. My surgeon said I should be getting more calories so I forced myself to eat more these last 4 days and averaged 800-900 calories. I ended up showing a .4 gain at my weigh-in this morning. (I know it's not a true "gain" and more just a fluctuation.)

I'm pretty frustrated but trying to keep my head up. I'm 9 weeks out today and down 33 pounds since surgery. I've had 3 weeks with no loss at all, a 2 week stall that started around 3 weeks and now I've been stalled for the past week. It's really hard not to get down about it. Eta: Also meant to mention that I lost 14 pounds in the first week. So really I've only lost 19 pounds in 8 weeks.

242.8 Up .4 this week. Grr...

That is my addiction! I drink 30-60 oz per day!

Awesome! I went to my daughter's preschool open house last night and I had to sit on a plastic chair made for a 4-year-old. I was still a little nervous but it didn't give me major anxiety like it would have when I was 60 pounds heavier.

What does your plan say? I was on full liquids at a week out. I had 3 8oz shakes a day and would sometimes have a snack of jello, pudding, or potato soup.

I am completely obsessed with Starbucks Passion Tea (unsweetened). I drink 30-60oz a day. I can't drink plain water so this is what helps me get my fluids in. It's an iced herbal tea and tastes kind of flowery. 0 cals, 0 sugar, and 0 caffeine. It is so freakin' good.

Mine was 9 days late and wicked heavy. It lasted about the normal length of time though.
