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) :(

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
