Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Yay! Count me in, too! I want to lose 12 pounds -- that's 2 pounds a week and totally doable.

@LollyMoe -- I posted a similar challenge on the December Bandster's group, but since you took the initiative here, I'll let those people know that the challenge has moved here under this thread.

Thanks! Looking forward to this!

I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I have lost 21 pounds. I get my first fill on Dec 6th. My weight is 265 so I'm going to shoot for 20. That would make my wieght 245 if I meet my goal. I haven't been able to exercise yet cause of another surgery I just had. When I start exercising I will loose more during that month. I can start exercising a week from monday. I am so excited about the challenge thanks guys, cause I really need the support of others. I was told not to eat before a fill by someone. Is that true? you should not eat before a fill. My dr never said anything about that. I usually eat four eggs for Breakfast. That takes care of 24 of Protein and is only 200 calories.

I would like to be in on this challenge! I just had surgery 3 days ago. Started at 246, down to 240. I don't get my first fill until the week of January 25th-ish. So I would like to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's Day! I hope that's not too much of a goal since I just had surgery!

Jillagould, Go to tickerfactory.com it will guide you through the rest.

My goal is 20 pounds by Valentines. I'm having my lapband installed tomorrow. With the liquid diet and stuff I think I can do it. I have lost 18 pounds in the past 2 months without the band. Goodluck to you all.

Count me in! I get my first fill on 1/14 and I'm starting to see the scale move a little bit, so I'm in! I'd like to lose 15 lbs before 2/14. I'm currently 188, so that would put me at 173! Holy crap! NEVER thought that weight would be in reach!!

Good luck everybody!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
