Hmm, I'll try this. I've been stuck at 166 for about a week now. I'll go for the 150 but I'm averaging 2.5# week so that may be ambitious.

8/31 193.5 SW 193

Today 158.5

Gonna hope for 155 on Thanksgiving.

I'm in, I've been stalled for a week or more. I've lost 32 lbs since surgery on 9/5/12. I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving, Wish me luck!

I started this challenge weighing 213, I'm down 9 lbs as of Nov 15, so I'm changing my goal. I'm shooting for getting rid of another 2 lbs before Thanksgiving. I'd like to try for onderland but I'm worried it might not be very healthy to try and lose 5 lbs in a week.

I'm starting to gain wait so I'm not even gonna worry about the Thanksgiving challenge. I have a lot going on and worrying about reaching 177 is stressing me out more. Good luck everyone else on your goals

I can't weigh in on Thanksgiving morning because we have decided to fly to Minnesota to be with my husband's family (I only count weight on my scale). But...I didn't think I was going to make my goal of 145 because I was in a two and a half week stall. Surprise, I went down a pound yesterday and today....SEVEN pounds (I apparently exercise or have liposuction in my sleep LMAO). So, my final weigh in will be on Tuesday morning before we leave for the airport. But if I stay on track I just might make it!

Starting weight 185

Challenge weight start 155.6

Today's weight 146.6

Challenge weight goal 145.nothing :P

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
