4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

I'm afraid to try this. I lost 20 lbs the month before surgery on my diet, but on my 9 day check up after surgery hadn't lost a single pound.

Don't want to set myself up for failure, so:

Virginia S - starting weight 319...CW (4/27) 284...Goal 264...20 lbs.

How do I do a ticker for a short-term goal?

I'm going to try so hard to get this 10 off. I have been stalled since the beginning of March! I will do this in 11 weeks, i have to, then it is only 5 pounds to the Ultimate Goal!!! I started Zumba again, and I pray that this will help.

Well, since surgery for me is May 9th, I'm going for 180 - it's 24 pounds in just over 2 months; Here's hoping!

I'm super excited about this challenge. I put that my goal is 25, but I'm secretly hoping for closer to 30, so I could be in ONEderland. I'm 3 weeks post op, and hit a stall one week out, so I'm hoping that stall breaks soon! Been trying to get tons of fluids but having difficulty. Got cleared for the gym and stuff though, so I've been doing that.... I'm excited mainly to reach this goal because, I live in california and am visiting a friend in Vancouver, Canada on July 8th. She hasn't seen me in years, and hasn't ever seen me that small- heres to high expectations and hard work!

We almost have the exact same stats. I started at 216, and surgery day at 204...YOU CAN TOTALLY DO THIS! I'm a SUPER SLOW LOSER and I lost 23.6 lbs. the first 2 months :)

16,6 the first month and 7.0 the second.

Well, my weight loss is slowing down a bit, but plan to join fitness center as soon as finals are over in a week and a half, so I'll be ambitious. My surgery was June 29, so I'd really like to be in the 220s by June 29. Haven't weighed for a while so hopefully a little less than 250 now.

      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!!
