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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
