c-212.5, 79.5 total loss, 5 lbs this week wahoo!

Count me in on the challenge. Water & exercise I got down, but the flour & sugar my be my down fall. The Breakfast bar that I have on the way to the gym in the mornings has a little sugar, so now I need to find something new to have on the run. By the way everyone looks fantastic, everyone's progress is so amazing. I usually shy away from the camera but when I start to look as good as all of ya'll, I just might have a picture taken just to post. The last picture I had taken was 3 weeks before surgery at 292 & it is really scary!

Susan-thanks so much for what u have done for me. If I have had a bad day, which I have, you have i just made it better. It doesn't matter what you like before or after, You still need to take care of everyday issues.

Good bad or whatever I don't give a dam about issues, they are still there and need to be addressed. I am in such a downer lately. I want to pull my way out of this. I do not want to hijack a thread, but my life sucks so bad right now. I belive in GOD and it will get better. It really doesn't matter if you are fat or skinny, we all still have issues to take care of. I don't think I will be joining May with all of ya'll. I do wish everyone of you the best, and I can't wait to see who get's that award. I have no favorite. (But Heather you are the bomb, and Susan you are so close behide her in weight lose.) But, the best of all to all of you.

Mary, you don't have to leave the Club just because you don't want to do the Spring Challenge. The foundation of the club is to offer support and friendship while we all travel down this journey together. You are not hijacking the thread by telling your friends that you are going through hard times. We are here for you if you need to share. *hugs*

For all club members: The spring challenge is just an extra event for those who wish to participate. The GFG Club will continue as it has for the past two months as a daily support and weekly weigh-in for those who need it. If you want to join the challenge, super! If the challenge isn't really what floats your boat, no problem. Just cheer on the particpants and continue to contribute to the Club however you want.

See you all on the May thread!

      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!!
