Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?



Recommended Posts

Could you do this for me. Not sure how this is done, not too good with this stuff. I already entered for today.

Thanks Joyce

I did this, just copied it into the cells so it will auto calculate so long as everyone puts their results in.

Really happy to have this challenge. I am not as hell bent on losing the weight in a hurry as I was when I was younger! I am doing my best to take my time and work as much on the head and setting good expectations as I am on diet and exercise. This is just the little edge to keep me making good choices without going full on into diet mode. I am an all or nothing kind of dieter - I can diet better than most, never cheating, recording every morsel, losing weight fast, until I quit, then it's look out food! so now I am working on eating healthy, but not obsessively so :)

Sign me up! It's so hard to imagine what weight loss will look like down the pike a little. I'm at 210 now so I'll go with 35 lbs, taking me to 175. I can't imagine weighing that. It would be almost criminal!

p.s. I sorted the sheet alphabetically, just for ease of use. I hope that's ok! Happy to undo.

I just added myself to the spreadsheet. I have a record of my weight, so I was able to fill in the first week weight, although that was my surgery day, so I just used the average between a couple days before and a couple days after. Im very excited about this because the only real goal I have already set is to be in Onederland by christmas! Then Ill go from there and set more goals to get to my final weight. woohoo Im so excited about this!:)

Just got on to the spreadsheet. I'm doing the Labor Day Challenge too so it will be interesting to see a short term and then a longer term goal. I didn't do a ticker because it is so long...and I have two already...but I am with you!

I'm in! I'm doing the Labor Day challenge also, and it will be neat to have a long-term goal next to the shorter term.

I am figuring on 26 pounds, and that will put me within 15-20 pounds of my final goal. :thumbup:

Is it too late for me to join in? I would love to go for 40 pounds: stretch for me, but it would make me super happy! I am at 255, I would be at 215: wow!

Nope, never too late to join! Just add yourself and your info to the spreadsheet. We just completed week one, and are on week two.

I just wanted to point out that I was banded on July 2nd so I did not get to accurately weight myself for week one and so my weight loss for week two is actually the culmination of two weeks, one week of pre-op diet and one week post op.

Wow welcome to all the new people who have decided to join in! When I was first banded I did join in the weight loss challenges and I did find them very motivating. :thumbup:

I'm so glad to be back and getting my wojo back. I feel so excited and so ready to knock this outta the ballpark. Though I did not post a loss last week, I am super confident that I can bump myself back up into losing a few pounds this week.

I am going to meet and even exceed my Christmas goal this year!!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
