The Very Scary Halloween Challenge



Recommended Posts

JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in and very happy that I didn't run and hide over the almost 2 lb I gained in the first two weeks of the challenge. This week I lost 5 lb and am at 201 lb. I am so close to onederland and can almost taste it!!! I'm three pounds from my goal for October but honestly, as long as I get to onederland I will be thrilled.

Did any of you have any specific rewards you treated yourself too when you hit onederland? Just trying to plan ahead and since this is such a major deal for me it will give me something to think about. :D

Well I stayed at 238 this week- so I guess that makes sense after 7 pounds LAST week!

So 238 still! :angry:

Good Saturday afternoon to everyone, been out to thrift stores today looking for new clothes. I actually bought an extra large shirt today, granted it was a large extra large, but the tag still said it was an flippin' X-Large. Quite a change from the 4X I was wearing a year ago. Weighed in this morning at 253.5, that's 2.5 down from last week. Need 3.5 lbs next week to reach my goal.

"Monster" Mash May heading in the other direction again - HOW SCARY! Up to 159.4! Since returning from a get away weekend with the hubby last week I haven't been good about tracking my food or keeping up my Liquid Protein. It just goes to show you how the weight can creep up in no time, even with exercise. It's a lot of work on our part to make sure all plates are spinning to make sure one doesn't fall. One more week - keep up the great work!

I treated myself to a pedicure.

I love going to my favorite thrift store and was there Friday, as a matter of fact. Great job on the X large shirt!

I am checking in at 180.6, that is 1# down for the week. I am pleased with that!

I went to costco Friday and bought a pair of size 12 pants. I had to take them home since they don't have dressing rooms and they fit! I was thrilled!

I hope your weekend is going great!!!

Okay, I havent lost any weight, and gained a pound this week. I'm hoping because its that TOM. My fill has not kicked in and tomorrow will be 2 weeks, so Im guessing maybe its not going to. I am doing Zumba 2-3 times a week, treadmill 2 days a week, strength training 2 days a week. I have got to try and step it up. I want to have some loss before next Saturday.

So, Im checking in at 168.5 (+1) :(

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
