I'm giving up________for Lent.



Recommended Posts

I'm givin' up nothing cause I'm a (not as) big (as I used to be) ol' heathen.

Haha, I'm pretty close to being a heathen myself!

Last year I gave up caffeine and on Tuesday I was the victim of an intervention from my work colleagues begging me to give up anything but caffeine this year as I was such a moody cow for 40 whole days!!!

This year I'm giving up Facebook.< /p>

I think he plays for the same team you do, but I'm not 100% sure.

So, don't feel bad.

I think I'm giving up my scale for lent! This is going to be the hardest thing for me to do' date=' because I am a daily/multiple times a day weigher. I think this is going to help me remove my obsessive focus from the numbers. Anyone else giving up something?[/quote']

I am going to join you, too! Sorry for being a copy cat. I am just 2 1/2 weeks out from surgery. Down 34 lbs, including a 20 lb loss on the pre-op diet. I feel like my excitement to get out of bed everyday is that stupid scale! I hate that. Sure, I want to lose weight! But ultimately, that isn't the goal. I want to be healthy. I want to feel better.

Thank you for such a great idea! :)

Gave up most of my stomach about 40 days ago. Now its time to give up another weakness, the couch. Started "Couch to 5K". Lord knows I'll need divine help with that!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
