Road to onderland challenge May 21-June 21



Recommended Posts

Can we sticky this?

Ok, I started a fresh new thread for this months onderland challenge. Many of you joined us last month and were super close, so lets go for it again.

My goal last month, since I was already at 199 when this started my goal was to get to 190. I never made it :cry .

Now, I am real close but I have been in the 190's for a month and a half. My new goal is 189. At the moment I have 4 lbs to lose.

Congrats to those of you who did make it. Please join us again for another challenge and let us know what your new goal is.

Since June 21st is a Wednesday, lets make Wednesdays weigh in day. That way the last day will be a weigh in day.

Good luck everyone, I have faith that we can do it!

I am in!! I have been teetering b/w 208 and 212 for almost a month now. I have my second fill this afternoon so I am setting a goal to be under 200 by mid-June. Wish me luck on the fill! I felt no restriction from my first one so I am hoping this one is better.

Since I'm back to 199 now, I'm definitely in this challenge. I want to be at least 190 by June 21st. I'm hoping to be 189 but I'm trying to be realistic.

Good luck, everyone!! :)

What the heck...I'll join! It can't hurt! My goal was to be in onederland by my hubby's MBA graduation...as you can see from my pretty new ticker! But, if I could reach it before then, even better!

Just got my second fill a week ago and man it is a good one!

Good luck to everyone!!! I look forward to getting to know you all!

I'm in! I am 8 weeks post-op and haven't had my first fill. So I'd love to get to onederland by the end of June, and need incentive to get there without the benefit of too much restriction. I joined Weight Watchers to kick me in the butt, too. Hopefully with the both WW and this thread I can lose just enough until I get my first fill sometime this summer. I haven't truly seen onderland for 9 years. I'd love to see what that looks like again!

I am in sitting about .5 pounds away from onederland. Would love to be 190.5 by the 21st. Hopefully will get a fill next week, that should kick it into gear.

I want to join. I am 7 pounds to onederland and this challenge will help a lot. I need a fill but I want to wait because I am going out of town this weekend and I don't want to be on Clear liquids for a couple of days. Neither do I want my family looking at me like I am crazy since none of them know that I have the band.

Anyway, I have an appointement scheduled for May 31st for a fill and I am sure I can get this 7 to 8lbs off by then. I do have a little restriction but I am fighting every second of the day cause I do not want to gain.

This challenge will be good for me. Thanks for all your help and I look foward to being in onederland real soon!

This will be a good thing. The last challenge helped me try to get to 190. I didn't make it, but I have less to go to get to 189, so I am going to kick my butt into gear and excersize more.

I wish everyone the best of luck. Is anyone doing anything particular to drop the weight? I am increasing my activity, once my allergies stop killing me, LOL.

I weighed in yesterday at 192 lbs. I lost 1 lb. I have 3 more to go to get to my goal. I am going for a fill tomorrow so hopefully that will help.

I stayed the same this week. Was given the bad news that the band doctor will not let me get a fill until i see the gaso doctor in June. This is going to be hard!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
