No change here...I did it so you wouldn't have to work so hard P'nut ;-)

Hahaha, its funny how everyone is backing off the challenge for next month, I had decided to not do July either. I have just been so busy this month and I want to start enjoying summer and working hard on my body. I joined the gym and plan on making use of it to the fullest. And like Telly and other have said, this place can be a little addictive and I know I could be burning more calories by being outside and active rather than typing.

But I will be checking in and weighing in for Wednesdays. I LOVE this club and this site, just need to get more active.

270 ( -34 total -1 this week)

Since I didn't loose anything last week, I'm glad for the one lb.!!

pfunkem - you look great. What a difference a month makes!

Gee, if nobody is doing the July challenge--maybe I have a chance to win it!!! WOOT WOOT!! :) Kidding....:Banane56: I've always wondered how so many of you could spend so much time on here now I know. I have 2 jobs and I answer the phone at a car dealership at night. That is when I have time to get on here! That's also one reason it is so hard for me to exercise.:nervous

Thanks Funny... and You! I was pretty confident I'd be a serious contender in the June GFG challenge, I was in it to win it, until your crazy 23 lbs. in two weeks. Blew me out of the Water. Pictures please! :)

Lianna - I'd recommend confusing your body a bit. Eat different things at different times, exercise different ways at different times. Instead of walking and cardio (I dont know which -elliptical, bike?), try swimming and aerobics. For three days, eat the (healthy) opposite of what you eat. Load up on Protein, cut your carbs. Just kick-start yourself.

Pfunk and lins - it is from that Soup diet and the liquid diet i am on now, plus I amped up my cardio to an hour and a half every morning. Can we say determined to get to goal for surgery day? LOL

lianna I agree with pfunk that sometimes you need to mess with your metabolisms head. LOL try eating 600 cals one day, 1200 the next, 900 the next. That way it does not try to store calories or fat. Also switch up your routine. Different types of cardio. that way your body is not in a rut. This worked for my husband as he was trying to get to goal, and he broke his 1 month plateau doing so. He also increased his Water to a gallon a day from the 64oz. This really made him feel good too.

Pictures tomorrow evening. I promise. DH and I have a 'date' to do the pics so that i do not forget again.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
