GW-142

CW-144.6

I lost 2.5 pounds during this challenge instead of the 5 I was hoping for. Its okay, a loss is a loss. I am so close to goal it is going to take a while to get there because the closer you get the harder it is. Im okay with that as long as I am losing. See ya the next challenge.

OK, I'm in too. I think I need a little inspiration.

I will put myself in for 10 lbs. and upping my exercise to 5 days a week from 3.

Starting at 285.9 (hey those decimals are important! ;) )

July 4th Challenge weight goal: 275

So, that would be 10.9 pounds

Well, I lost 9 of the 10.9 I wanted to lose by today, and I DID achieve the 5 day/week workout schedule, so all in all I think this was a success! Sure, i missed the mark a little, but I really did all I humanly could to get there. Good job everyone.

Brandymarie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. :( Praying for your comfort.

Well didn't do as well as I'd like currently 643.

But okay I guess since I'm 18 hours pre sleeve.

Well since being sleeved monday morning I've lost about 20 pounds, I think it was from the saline solution iv plus having catheter, lost a lot of Water weight. But have been walking some and only eating 100 or 200 calories a day. Plus how ever much half a stomach weighs lol.

I was 645 monday, now scale says 619.

Missed goal by 1 lousy pound. Labor Day Challenge here I come!

Would you believe that stupid one pound decided to fall off this morning? I hope everyone stayed safe and enjoyed the holiday.

Ha! So I saw your post and decided to weigh this morning and I weighed in at 189.8. My goal was 190 and yesterday I weighed in at 190.4 and missed it by 4 lousy ounces. Maybe we'll kick butt in the labor day challenge and actually make goal by labor day and not the day after. Lol! Good luck to us!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
