Life Changes & personal challenge



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I hope everyone is well. I am about to go through a significant change in my life and have decided to go all the way. This morning I resigned from my job after almost 20 years with the same company. I am going to another company to a role that is a huge opportunity for me to take advantage of my current skill set, so the news is good.

I have also decided that I am going to make some other changes in my life to coincide with my career change. I have decided that I am going to re-commit to my weight loss program. I have lost 90 pounds to date but things have slowed down for the last month or so. I have decided that I must lose another 50 lbs over the next 6 months or so. To ensure that I do lose the weight I have decided that I am not going to post anything on LBT until I have met my goal.

When I do lose the 50 pounds I agree to post before and after pictures on the before and after thread. Until then I will only allow myself to lurk this challenge starts June 1 the same day I start my new job.

Hear is my mission statement

I am commited to losing 50 more pounds by November 30 2006. Until I do I will not be allowed to post any messages on LBT lounge. When I have met my goal I will post two pictures of myself, one a before surgery picture the other a 140 pound loss picture.

Talk to you all in six months

TommyO,

I would love to join you on this challenge. But I still want to post on here! :P I have 50 more to lose as well and I want to commit to this. I have been a bad example as a lapband patient and need to get back on the ball. I drink durning my meals, I have had a cheeseburger from Burger King!!!! The list goes on. I have recently seperated from my husband so I have been emotional eating as well. So I need to fix this. TommyO, Let's do this together!!!!!

Thanks,

Angie

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
