Labor Day Challenge 2012



Recommended Posts

I started the Labor Day Challenge a little late. 7 weeks ago. My goals were to lose 15 lbs, log all my food and exercise and run for 30 minutes.

SW: 226

CW: 212.4

GW: 211

I did not lose 15 lbs, but I just logged into MFP for the 51st day in a row and I can run 3 miles at 36 minutes.

Didn't make my goal... I'm at 183 pounds, down 9 1/2 pounds... but hey, that's more than I would have lost if I hadn't started the challenge. I'm ready for the Halloween challenge, goin' there now!

And a great big woo-hoo to all of you who not only met but exceeded your challenge goals!

SW-145

CW- 139.2

GW-135

Well, I didnt do well this time. I had lost down to 137.4 but it came back with aunt flow yesterday. So, my final weigh in was 139.2. I lost 6 pounds during the challenge instead of 10. I am still 5 pounds from my personal goal of 134 and 100 pounds lost. I am going to Diva's boot camp and see if I cant drop some and lose the carb monster and finally make that goal. I need to start into maintenance soon because I am having plastics in November and I need to be stabilized at the weight I want to be instead of settling for my doctors goal of 139. Ultimately, I want to be between 125 and 130 after plastics, for the rest of my life. I think its doable but not easy. I will set up shop on the Halloween challenge! See you there!

Well, I missed my Labor Day goal by 2 lbs. it's like my body is holding on and afraid to let me get to 100 total loss. I think my new collar bones have scared the hell out of my body! LOL! But 18 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. PLUS, I dropped another dress size.

Going to shake up my routine and head over to the Halloween Challenge. Congrats everyone!!

I had already set a Labor Day goal for my weight and I'm thrilled to participate! I am at 247 and would like to be 216. I'm only a week post op so I'm not sure how the weight loss will be but I'm setting the goal and will reevaluate if needed. If I can meet it, it will be a huge victory for me as I haven't seen that weight since September 2006. I also want to exercise 4X a week for at least 30 minutes, drink a minimum of 64 oz of Water daily, and consume 45 grams of Protein daily.

I didn't make it to 216 but I couldn't be happier with where I am. On Labor Day, I was 224.0 and had lost exactly 50 pounds. What a wonderful milestone!! Can't wait to see 216 as that is my pre-pregnancy weight and where I was when I met my husband. After that...onederland will be knocking on my door!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
