Challenge To Every Body!



Recommended Posts

Im in but I don't know how well I'll do. I'm weight training and it will be very interesting to see if the weight will fall off even with the intensive training.

184lbs - trying for 173lbs

I had a goal to be at goal weight by August but since I'm not sure what that weight is anymore, we'll just have to play it by ear.

I'm in! I weighed 235 this morning, so the goal is 224. I walked a mile today, so I'll have to keep increasing that and decreasing ME! Good luck all!

I am in, but doubt I will make 11 lbs. I am at 185 right now (as of yesterday) and that would put me down to 174 on Aug. 5. I have been losing about 4-6 lbs a month, but maybe if I can increase cardio and exercise I can AT LEAST lose more than 5.....even if it is not the full 11, lol!

Hi John-

I am so happy to see this challenge. It just so happens that August 5th is my One Year Bandiversary. I don't think I'm going to make my personal goal because I have been in a real funk lately, mostly due to all the surgeries. The weight came off very quickly at first...but I have only lost two pounds in the last two months!

I weigh in at 247 today....so 11 pounds lost would put me at a total of 150 lost for the year....Thanks for the motivation, gift or no gift...it will be priceless for me to make the most of this last month before my bandiversary. Thanks!:(

Well I am also moving in the right direction... My original weigh in was 254 and I am now at 252.4. I have increased my walking. I am trying to increase my walk by 1/4 each day. But with my schedule I am going to have to cap it off. I am up to 1 3/4 miles. I believe my cap is going to have to be 2 miles for a bit anyway. Keep up the hard work everyone.

I'm already down one pound. I've lost 60 lbs since starting. 380 here I come!

I didn't exercise with Gone for Good, so y'all are motivating me to get out the exercise videos and move.

Time to Belly Dance...

I just saw this thread, but would like to give it a try. Count me in!! I'm at 240 lbs this morning. How are you doing this? Do we just report in on Aug 5th with our weight loss or what?

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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.
