Mother's Day Challenge Anyone?



Recommended Posts

So frustrated!!!! Yesterday I was still at 308 this morning 311.....What the heck? How in the heck do you gain 3 lbs in 1 freaking day? It is not even that time of the month. That is not until next week. I just hope the fill I get this week helps even just a little.

I can't find my name on the chart anymore. I did post that I was out of the country on vacation but when I went in to log my weight loss, my name is missing? Can anyone help me?

Another week and no weight loss. I don't get it. I'm exercising 4-5 days a week doing circuit training, getting 100 g of Protein and 90 ounces of Water today, not grazing, NOTHING! What gives? This sux. Sorry, I am just so disappointed these past few weeks.....

Down only 1 pound, not close to goal but I am losing and that is all that matters, even if it is at a snails pace:biggrin:

I'm down three pounds total for the challenge, but what a grueling road! I certainly won't make my 10 pound goal, but it's okay. I am still going in the right direction. Did I hear someone say July 4th challenge?!?! Heh. :thumbdown:

Frustrated with no loss this week! But going through a tough time with my mom very ill and now we put her into hospice care. Think she only has a couple weeks left. She has lung cancer which such a nasty disease.

I am trying very hard not to use food as an emotional outlet and am still exercising. But my stress levels are through the roof which I am sure are contributing to lack of weight loss.:thumbdown:

Have not weighed--will probably do so Wednesday--TOM struck--I gain 5-7lbs so no use stepping on that scale--I can tell from my swollen cankles--bring on the serious Water retention:frown:

STUCK, stuck, stuck...this sucks! I have lost 4 pounds total since my last fill, and I am exercising more and eating enough protien and calories. I hate when the scale doesn't move!

I agree with you, these last two weeks I felt like I was fighting an army to get any weight off. I am not sure but I may have hit a plateau. It has become increasingly harder to get any weight off and I am still like you hitting my target calories, Protein and workouts. Maybe I will wake up one morning and be 5 lbs down, here is hoping :thumbup:

Happy Mum's day everyone

Well didn't quite reach my goal of 15 pounds but made 14. So I am very happy, especially after being stuck for 2 weeks. This challenge helped keep me focused. What is the next one????????? I'm in.

I met my weight loss challenge goal. I'm so thrilled. This challenge was just what I needed to get into the weight loss groove. I am drinking a lot more Water, taking my Vitamins, and jogging three days a week, cross training two other days.

If anyone wants to do a July 4th challenge, I'm in!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
