I am new to the site and excited to see the challanges as that will really help me get motivated. I have joined the end of the year and the thanksgiving. Hopefully can make both goals. As that would be an excellent way to end the year :-)

Hi Everyone, Can I still join… I know we are only 56 days away from the NEW YEAR, but one of my mini-goals was to loose 50 pounds by the New Year. I am only 15 pounds away!!! I met my Halloween mini-goal of loosing 30 pounds!!!

Today I downloaded the Couch 2 5 K and can’t wait to start tomorrow. We have about 8 weeks, so if I manage to loose 1.6 pounds every week I can reach that wonderful goal.

I am so excited to have found you guys… I love all the posts!!!

Let’s take it one step at a time and stay focused on the goal.

Anyone can join anytime!!! :blush: Challenges are great for motivating ourselves as well as helping to motivate each other!

Also good luck with the couch to 5k! I went for a run the other night (I haven't done any running since high school) and I actually made it the entire 2.1 miles! Running is pretty fun actually. Let us know how your first session goes tomorrow!

Hi,

Just checking in on Monday. I lost 1/2 pound this week but think I will lose more tomorrow. I see my surgeon on Wed. and believe I will have lost 5 pounds in the last month. I'm trying to add in some extra walking to meet my end of the year goals. Are you using any particular strategies to meet your goal??

Hi All,

Yesterday was my weigh in day and I lost 2 pounds since last week. I am currently doing the C25K program and it is not hard, especially because I get to rest a day in between. 3 days a week for 30 minutes is not bad at all.

Next Thursday I get my 2nd fill and I can't wait... I hope it will help me reach my End-of-Year goal... only 13 pounds to go...:)

We can do this!!! Remember one step at a time!

Hi everyone,

I am down 84 pounds since mid-January but have set myself a personal goal of losing at least 100 pounds by December 31st. I would love some company and a place to check in daily to talk about my triumphs and trials through the next 12 weeks. Would anyone like to join me and set a personal goal and share the thrill of meeting it and getting the new year off to a thinner and healthier start? If so, post your goal and check back regularly!

Hey we are pretty much at the same place. I am down 80 pounds and want to be at 100 at the same time. I started "dieting" in January. I was banded 9-1. We have the same goals!! I am there with you!!

I've lost about 3.5 pounds since this past Wednesday. I'm really hoping that by tomorrow I'll be down a solid 4 pounds. I feel like 4 pounds a week for me is pretty good...I got so spoiled because I had two weeks recently where I lost 5 and 6 pounds... :-( I want that loss again. Anyhow, loss is loss and I'm not complaining :) I've only got 3.6 more pounds to lose to meet my Thanksgiving Challenge goal, and I'm determined to meet and hopefully exceed my goal!!

If you look on the spreadsheet (all the way at the bottom), we have collectively lost over 90 pounds!! Way to go everyone!!

      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! 😞

      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.
