Recommended Posts

I am in too… I am not one to pass up on a good challenge…

I have been going back and forth with a definite goal weight for myself, especially since I am only 3.8lbs to my initial goal/goal dr set for me… So I am going to shoot for a couple more than that.

I am gonna TRY for 8lbs before Halloween!!

Starting Weight: 167.8lbs

Halloween Goal Weight: 160 lbs

Lbs lost: ---

Lbs to go: 7.8lbs

I have a question. When you join these challenges, what do you do differently? I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to, and I will either lose something by Halloween or not, but it's not in my control.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but I very much want to join a challenge of some sort. I recently hurt my back and am hobbling even to walk so I can't join a mini fitness challenge, and these seem to be the only other ones...but I don't know what to do to be successful at it?

I don't think you have to do anything differently... it's just something that many of us use to try to get closer to our goal weight (motivation). It makes it a little fun and knowing we are all supporting each other can't hurt either.

Good Luck!

I am so in !

Halloween is the day I get in the car and drive 9 hours to TJ Mx. I will be checking in at the Marriott in TJ on Halloween eve, so this is purrrfect!

Starting weight today: 219

Halloween goal: 200

As to gamer girls question of what we do differently... When we have accountability and commoradery in a goal setting, we excel because someone else is watching and caring. It's much easier to cheat, delay, procrastinate and dismiss when it's just us looking. A challenge like this makes it fun and we have the accountability factor! Should we check in weekly, every Friday?! Great post I like it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
