And mind you, I realize that my 20 lb goal in right about a month is a bit far-fetched, lol, but, that is the point to me. It's something I will have to bust my tail to reach. Which means, LOTS OF EXERCISE! Lets see just how close I can get!

Me too! I am going to weigh in on Monday the 5th and that will be my starting weight. Then we have 5 weeks, I have been averaging 1.6 pounds a week during the Easter challenge so I will go with 9 pounds (I hope to weigh 149 before Monday and then my goal will be 140) That is less than I have weighed in 16 years! That will be my Happy Mothers day gift to me!

Congratulations on your progress! That is an excellent goal for you then! 140 is my dream weight! I have never weighed less than 170....So I suppose that is mine! I would LOVE to be 170 by Mother's Day! : ) And the best Mother's Day gift I could give myself! :thumbup:

GREAT idea!! Honestly, these challenges have been great motivation for me! Since it is only about 5 weeks away, I think 10 pounds might be reasonable, which will put me at 160 (holy crap!) I'm getting soooo close to my (first) goal weight!!

Good luck to everyone!!!!! :thumbup:

I would like to say 20# but that's probably not likely since I am going to the Highpoint Furnitire market Apr 14-21st and will probably drink there. So I'll aim for 10#'s.:thumbup:

Hi count me in. I would like to be 15 lbs. lighter but, realisticallys speaking I will choose 12 lbs. for the challenge. I currently weigh 184 lbs. I have lost 38 lbs. and would love to be down 50 lbs. by May 9th. Would hopefully this is the motivation I need. I currently have very good restriction but, just not a fast loser but, fine with that.

I'm in for 10 too, that'll put me at 240...I haven't weighed 240 in, err, at least 15 years. Do we have a spread sheet going anywhere yet?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
