My v-day goal is to be under 200lbs.

Last week: 207 lbs

This week: 203 lbs

This week was really hard because a lot more people are commenting on my weight loss than ever before, but I have some body dysmorphia going on, because when i look in the mirror, i don't look slimmer. i almost wish I could cover myself in big clothes so people won't comment. I can feel their eyes on me when i walk into a room at work, especially people who work in different parts of the bldg and don't see me everyday. At first i thought it was all in my head, but people keep pulling me aside wanting to know what i'm doing and examining my body.

Just when I thought I was back on the losing track, I have stayed the same again this week....233! I know it is much better to stay the same than to gain, but I am playing by the rules. No one ever said this would be easy, so I will trudge onward! Next week WILL be better.

I'm right there with ya chicka! No loss but thank gawd no gain!! :) Next week WILL be better you'll see or we'll see :)

Hello,

12-31-13 164 lbs

01-03-14 163 lbs

01-10-14 162 lbs

01-17-14 160 lbs

01-24-14 160 lbs

01-31-14 156 lbs

By the end of January I would like to get out of the 160's and get in the 150's.

Valentine's Day - I would like to be at least155, but hoping to be in the 140's by the end of February.

Yesterday was my 6 month anniversary. I am very happy. I lost a total of 76 lbs and 74 inches off my whole entire body from neck, chest, belly, hips, leg, and arm. Yay!!!

I hope everyone is doing well on their weight loss! Take Care.

Sophiepants, I noticed that we were sleeved around the same time and have the similar weight losses. I was wondering what you're up to these days in terms of eating patterns/habits and exercise routine. I've been pretty steady (stair-steppy but steady) but I'm definitely slowing down. It's like that elongating hallway, I'm just so close but not quite there.

I'm doing really well with cardio (treadmill 75 minutes/day). I'm not as good about keeping up with my arm weights and I rarely do the other things on my "To Do" list--tricep dips and core exercises. I'm doing ok on eating. I'm not able to get 700 calories but I have managed to cut out sugar, grains and wheat. I've had a forkful of quinoa but mostly all my carbs come from vegetables.

With St. Paddy's day falling on March 17 and Easter falling in April 20 this year, I think those would be REALLY good ideas (good windows of time) for the next two challenges. Great idea!

Yay thanks for all u do- I envy your organization !

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
