Sleeveforme2017

Found this today. Low carb are these ok for just for an occasional snack?

Thanks for the info. I’m leaning toward the Apple Watch but My friends have Fit bits so I wouldn’t be able to do challenges with them

It’s normal I did the same. Push thru

Wanting to start tracking my workouts. Which do you suggest and what are the differences between the two? I have an IPhone.

The first month is definitely the hardest hang in there you will feel amazing

I maintained from last week, 140. Best news is that I ran a 5k on Thanksgiving in 31:45! It was a huge milestone victory for me!

Here is the SPREADSHEET again https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zMNphV_evJl4pfjPPYpqPejO6-k1--EgMQjeWvDcr_I/edit?usp=sharing

Good morning! Wednesday Weigh-In! (Its OK if you weigh in this week, up through Saturday!) Happy Thanksgiving! Last year, I learned that you can have a truly happy AND healthy Thanksgiving. Just remember to eat Protein first, then a veggie IF there is room! Not gonna lie: it's easy to give in to temptation of the pies but for me, I try to limit it to one bite. And remember to stay hydrated. :-)
My weigh in is not what I would want today. 140, last week 135. Three things this past week that could be the reason/s. 1) I've been running a lot to prep for a T-Day 5k. Potential muscle gain? (One can hope!). 2) Pre-menstral and everything feels swollen. 3) I have been bad at food tracking since hitting goal.
Time to get back into accountability and learn the balance of maintenance.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Sounds more controlling and insecure than jealous, in my opinion.

Alright everyone, here we go again! Please be patient with my updates on the spreadsheet as I have a lot going on.
This challenge will run from August 25, 2017 to October 20, 2017. This will give us a total of 9 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight but I am going to be in 5 classes and working 2 jobs so if it takes me a few extra days I am sorry but I WILL have it updated as soon as possible!! Please note that I will recalculate the figures as soon as I can following the Friday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...
I have made these Friday weigh ins because that will allow us to start as soon as possible. You may post your weight at anytime during the week if Friday is not your weigh in day!

This challenge is for everyone. If you are pre op, post op, in maintenance or looking for some accountability; this challenge is for you! The rules and link to the spreadsheet are below!

Procedures:
Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around August 25th) and Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on August 25, 2017. Remember this goal weight is only for the end of the challenge, not your ending goal weight!!
You can cut/paste this below and fill it in on your post -

3. If you change your screen name please let me know.

Remember we are all here to support each other! I look forward to running another challenge with you!

Does anyone want to keep going?

So I fell the same and I work in HR. sometime I feel like the FMLOA coordinator told people. No one has said directly but like you said little things they say. Or I could just be paranoid

Who won the challenge? Anyone know?

I told my family and a couple of very close friends about my surgery. My husband took it upon himself to tell the neighborhood. At first I was mortified and angry to say the least. I got over it but not completely. I'll never tell him anything private again. Now I feel as though I'm being judged by everyone around me.
This may sound strange but it's like they look at me differently with pity or some sort of way and I don't like it.
Bottom line I'll never ever share my struggles with my husband again!

I am waiting to have gastric sleeve surgery. We agreed not to tell anyone. My husband said it was up to me who we told. At this point I don't want anyone to know. Not because I am ashamed but because it is very personal and people are judgemental.
He told his business partner that he was going to take some time off when I have surgery to look after me. We agreed he didn't need to know what kind of surgery. Turns out he told him I am having weight loss surgery and also told my mother in law. I don't like his business partner and we are not close. I hate his wife who I am sure he has told now that he knows.
my husband doesn't see what the big deal is and I feel betrayed and so hurt.
im pretty sure he told two of his friends although he denies it.
i feel like he told strangers the most personal and intimate thing about me.
advice please

Thanks for the advice. He didn’t even come to the hospital

Yes you will . And you will regret being able to eat normal and will long for the stage your in now. Trust me.

Hi,

I'm curious what your Iron level was? I've always been iron deficient but not too bad. Just had my
Levels checked and my iron is super low. At what point is infusion an option?

Finally surgeon ok’d the day before my appt. first infusion went well. 3 more to go. Haven’t felt any different yet but heard it takes a few weeks.

Has anyone tried these? There are delicious. 2 egg bites have 19 grams of Protein and 9 carbs. I get the bacon and cheese. I can only eat one they are so filling. I can get two meals out of one order. They also have egg white with red peppers.

Yes I had to stay in the hospital an extra day due to the pain. And yes my recover was slower due to the swelling from the hiatal hernia repair.
