I made my goal! Just barely! I didn't think I'd make it, I've been over 300lbs for the last 5 years. It's surreal, so excited to be on this journey. Thanks for hosting!

thanks for participation, Rubia72!!

My weigh in and final for the challenge is 141. I feel good, despite not losing anything. Better endurance and energy. At least the holidays are over!
Thank you to EVERYONE for a fun challenge. You all did so great. I will be taking final weigh-ins throughout this week. Hats off to all of you, and cheers to a HEALTHY new year!!!!

Good morning everyone! Spreadsheet is updated with Weight in for Wednesday 12/13!
There is so much progress this week!! I am seeing the best kind of success from so many posts...1-3 lbs loss steady for a week. Impressive!!!
I am hanging steady, but man is it hard for me during the holidays. How do you turn down that frosty snowman cookie staring at you? Lol!! Anyway, I'm running 3x a week and running around like a mad woman trying to prepare for a huge houseful of family coming soon. Stressing my poor husband out with housework and xmas shopping tasks! So many lists!
But my solace honestly is getting out with my dog and running/jogging. In the brisk air, and FEELING how my endurance has improved over the past 3 months. What a GIFT this surgery and weight loss has been to me.
Have a wonderful and successful week everyone. And if you have any tips for getting through the naughty food season, please share!!

I'm sorry you are feeling out of control with your weight.
Set up an appointment with your surgeons office. Get their opinion if you have stretched your stomach. They can help you get back on track. Another option to consider is counseling/therapy. It will help address your mindset with weight loss.
food choices and grazing will cause significant weight gain.
Grazing is the consistent, day-long consumption of low value food items, in other words: snacking. For example, mindlessly finishing your child’s Breakfast Cereal, stopping at mcdonalds, popping two donut holes into your mouth at the office, eating a Protein Bar mid-afternoon and a strawberry Greek yogurt with granola at night.
The best way to address grazing after bariatric surgery is to employ preventive measures prior to the onset. That said, many patients will not succeed preemptively and must therefore deal with the problem of grazing only after it presents.
Should you find yourself in the habit of grazing after bariatric surgery, the obvious resolution is to break the habit. This is no doubt easier said than done, but consider all that you have achieved to this point.
The first step is to ask for help. It is unlikely that you can resolve your maladaptive eating alone. So simply ask for the help. Use your support network and those professionals who are currently among your inner circle.
Begin to monitor yourself closely. Write down or log your food in MYFITNESSPAL all that you eat or drink for a period of three days or so, and then compare your notes with the nutrition plan from your bariatric surgeon’s office to note how much they do or do not correlate.
Learn the different types of hunger, specifically head, eating out of boredom and physical hunger.
In addition, cut out all junk food. Sit when you eat, and mindfully enjoy the meal. Eat meals that contain Protein and Fiber in the form of fresh and lightly cooked or raw fruits and vegetables because they make you feel full. Drink plenty of Water over the course of the day except at meal time.
WIshing you the best,
Jenn
