Christmas Challenge!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I forgot to check in last Friday. I was so stoked to get to 155 that I updated my ticker, wrote a long post in VSG Success Stories and completely forgot the challenge. I thought at 155 that I was at a normal BMI. But when I updated my ticker, I found out it's 154 for me. But this week I am really there! I weighed in at 152.8 this week. Hurrah! Less than 6 months out to a normal BMI. And I've joined the century club! I've lost 100 lbs. since starting the pre-op diet on Feb. 15. Just .8 of a lb. and I've lost 70 lbs. post-op. I hope to be there by my 6 months surgiversary next Thursday.

I was a bit worried about losing weight this week too because we were on vacation and I ate more and more fatty foods and exercised less, I had a great time but I'm glad to be back home and back on schedule.

My Christmas Goal also includes reaching the following goals:

154 lbs.: I'm a NORMAL BMI!!!! and I have 19 lbs. to goal

154: I've lost 100 lbs total - 32 pre-op and 68 post-op. I'm in the Century Club!

152: I've lost 70 lbs. post-op

149: My number starts with 14. I haven't weighed this since the mid-90s.

146: I've lost 10% of my total body weight for the fourth time since the operation. I have less than 10% of my body weight to go to goal, so it will be my last 10% loss.

145: 10 lbs. to go to my final goal!

144: My Christmas goal and I've lost 110 lbs. (32 pre-op and 78 post op). 9 lbs. to my final goal!!!

I'm rather late getting in on this, but I'm gonna try it. This is my first challenge. I was always afraid to make a goal because I didn't want to fail. But, I'm coming off a one month stall so hopefully this will help to motivate me. So, here I go...CW 233...GW 220.

I gained a pound this week. This is my first stall and week with no loss, also my first gain. I started working out a week and a half ago every single day and I think that is messing with my weightloss. I am determined to be positive and know I am doing the right thing. I am just going to keep on keeping on and see what happens. I have lost a couple inches in the last two weeks so I will take that.

Hi all,

I celebrated my 6 months surgiversary last Thursday. I made the goal I wanted: 70 lbs. lost post-surgery in 6 months.

The six-month checkup went well. I've been trying hard to stick to Kaiser's guidelines and they are working for me. I'm now cleared for 1-2 alcoholic drinks per week. Yahoo! I'm going to start out with a small glass of port, probably this weekend.

I'm planning on enjoying Thanksgiving this coming week, but I hope not so much that I dont' lose. I've lost every week since surgery and I don't want to break that streak yet!

I have really had a tough time the past week and a half. I've been staying on program, did eat 1 or 2 things a little off plan but it was just a very small piece of a dessert each time. I guess that sugar just messed me up because I kept going up and down 2 to 4# for the past week until a few days ago. I started back to the gym this past Monday, but it's been a struggle. Am down 2# from my last weigh in, but I'm 2 days overdue. Just didn't have the heart to post a gain.... Ugh....

For some reason I can't seem to update my ticker. I never had a problem just clicking on the ticker below and it just takes me right to the page to update things. When I click on it now, it does nothing. I've tried IE and Firefox..... grrr Anyone else have any issues?

Surgery weight: 271

Starting Halloween weight: 195

Current weight: 189

Goal weight: 175

Pretty good week. Lost 4# this week!! 16# more to go.

OK this plateau won't budge. Well maybe not a true stall... I have been losing about 1/4 some weeks and some weeks none. A good week I lose 1/2 lb. So I am wwwaaayyy behind. I have been addig a few more carbs to see if this breaks it. I had been having way under 30... maybe 16 a day. Gonna raise it a bit to see if I have more energy. Maybe exercise will not feel like such torture??? Weight loss is soooo slow I figure a litte experimentation can't hurt.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
