    HAPPY HEALTHY HOLIDAYS CHALLENGE!

    192.3. Didn't hit goal but honestly pretty shocked I even lost weight after my New Year's Eve, haha Hope everyone had a great holiday!
  2. Sometimes it's hard to not get down on myself for not losing enough weight this week, not meeting my mini-goal by the end of the year, not liking what I see in the mirror, etc... but I just have to keep reminding myself that I've lost over 130 pounds... and that's a significant achievement!

      I'm going to Hawaii in February and I "wanted" to be at 200lbs by then. I "wanted" to lose 20lbs a month for the first 3 months of being sleeved. 2 months out, I'm 25lbs down from surgery. I could totally get in my head about it. I'm really good at getting in my head about it, but then I remember that I started trying to lose weight in earnest about 7 years ago and in all those years the first thing I always "wanted" was to be under 250. Well, I'm there now, so instead of being down on myself for not being where I decided I "wanted" to be 2 months ago. I'm choosing to be grateful that something I am finally something that I "wanted" for so long. Chin up! You've come so far, don't discount it.

      I say congratulations to you! 130 is (as you said) a significant amount of weight to have lost in 15 months. I lost a total of 152 and it took me 18 months to get there. Those last 20lbs are awful to lose, you have to work ten times as hard to make it happen. Once you get to maintenance it is even harder. Enjoy your achievement and keep working hard! A word of advice probably way too late for you both.....assigning a time to weight loss simply doesnt work. You just have to work the plan and when you get there you get there.

      I did the same thing, Chrmow. I'm going on vacation in less than 2 weeks and I wanted to be at 185 by that time. I'm within 10 pounds of that, so it's not terrible, but Djmohr is right - I shouldn't have assigned a number to a specific amount of time. No plans to give up here and I've accepted that it will take a bit longer for me than it has for many others I've seen post on BP. I was a pretty slow loser from the get-go. However, I am the lowest weight I've been at in my adult life and at the smallest size I can remember, too! These last 20-30 pounds are definitely proving to be stubborn. I do have a bit of body dysmorphia but it's something I've been working on with my therapist so I'm optimistic that I'll get over it someday. Thanks to everyone for your comments :)

    193.6 I have a feeling I won't be making my original goal by the end of this... would be happy to just reach 189. Would it be okay to adjust it to that on the spreadsheet? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    What do you buy at Costco?

    I think I tried to find those chicken skewers that someone mentioned when I had previously done a "Costco" search but couldn't find them at my costco I get my original Babybels, Morningstar original sausage patties (not real sausage), Premier Protein shakes, and canned tuna from Costco. My boyfriend gets his own things from there. We don't really eat any of the same foods. The Babybels are the most important, though. I go through those the fastest
  11. My supervisor also asked me what kind of surgery I was getting. It was really strange to me. I think I said that I was having surgery on my stomach - from there she could have guessed a variety of different things such as WLS or something that was more medically threatening like a tumor, but I didn't get into any other specifics. I had a long and difficult recovery (about a month and a half until I felt like I could even leave the apartment) and they knew I was having a hard time. Luckily I work from home so I was still able to work even though I was feeling pretty terrible, although I did take off the first 2.5 weeks.
  12. 217.8 Birthday week and I indulged a bit lol
  13. CW: 217.2 GW: 207 I'm actively losing.

    Final weight is 217.2 Missed goal by a few but still not too bad. Hopefully I'll be able to get to my goal in the next challenge. Thanks for all the work you've done running these challenges, Sarah.
