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



Recommended Posts

I'm a little late in finding this thread. But, I'd really like to join the challenge! The 4th of July this year promises to be a big one at my house - - I'll be celebrating my 40th birthday (July 6) and having a 4th of July party to show off some recent home reno's. So, I'd really like to focus on being down a good amount of weight. I think I"m going to shoot for 2.25 pounds per week (yes, I just made that number up!). Here we go!

(SW is as of 4/25 to be on the same field as everyone else.)

SN.............SW...........CW............GW............lbs to goal

MsPuse....232..........227.6........207.25.......20.35

Yikes!!! Just seeing that kind of freaks me out! It is way more ambitious that I currently have as my 4th of July goal! But, I guess that's why it's a challenge! :D Good Luck Everyone!!!

So when I weighed myself, I cried. Yup I did.... I haven't weighed this low since I was 16. Just now trying to adjust to the way I look, so used to the big chubby face and now its slim and its like who is this when I look in the mirror....

I couldn't resist. I had to get on the scale today. And to my surprise....I saw a most welcomed yet unexpected number. 248.8

So, what did I do to Celebrate? I bought myself something that I have been oogling for quite a while. To top it all off...it's about 50% cheaper than when I normally see them. They are quite rare. Man, I love Ebay...

That's it! I have got to STOP snacking. This past week I've been snacking like a crazy person and not eating real food, even though I'm exercising like a madwoman, I'm not losing as much as I should. I'm on the wagon again!

My sleeve date is May 17, unless a cancellation appt opens sooner.

.......... SW-254...............CW-223...............July 4th goal-189.................Lbs to goal-35...........

This is about 5 lbs per week immediately post-surgery. It's my first challenge, so I'm not sure if my goal is to aggressive or not.

SN......................SW...........CW........GW..........kgs to go

Plumptious............73kgs.......72kgs....63kgs.....9kgs (19.8lbs)

I've been mucking about the last 2 weeks, so have only lost 1kg in that time - but it's Monday morning and time to refocus if I'm going to lose anywhere near 9kgs in the next 8 weeks!! On the other hand it's good to know that I can still lose even when I'm not being that "good"... bodes well for maintaining when I reach my goal (woohoo!!) biggrin.gif

Slow and steady is the pace. I really need to start walking more but hate walking alone and hate just walking the parking lot of our apartment complex. We have placed an offer on a house and hopefully will close May 25th. So once we move, I will have a neighborhood to walk and feel a lot safer.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
