This is awesome! I'm 179 today, also I started the gym this afternoon. I hope to be in the 160s by then, I'm only 3 weeks out and I've lost 15 pounds. Surgery was on 1/23/14 and starting weight was 194.6 :) so excited to see more results and the support really helps :)

Bea, I don't understand the technology behind all this Cloud stuff. My starting weight today is 189. My goal for six weeks is 180. What else am I supposed to do???????? I don't get it.

Miss Mac, no worries at all about not "getting this". This is actually a good excuse to explain things to the challenge newcomers.

  • All that is required on your part is to report in every Monday (or whatever day you pick...we're not really particular about that).
  • Part of the fun is watching the changes in a visual way, especially as you can look at other challengers and see how they are doing.
  • The "cloud" is just a web space that's available to others (like a web page is) to view. I have put an Excel spreadsheet of our progress in a "cloud" location that belongs to me.
  • There won't be much to see until week 2 of the challenge when the comparisons start. Other data points, like how many people are in the challenge, how much is being lost each week, the per person average of losses each week, etc. are all a part of the fun.
  • You'll know that I've updated your data to the spreadsheet when you see that I have "Liked" your update post.

I think that covers most of the points, but other veteran challengers are welcome to chime in as well. For me, it just seems that when I approach losing as a kind of "team sport", it makes it more fun. The big losses give us an opportunity to shout about it, the little losses give us support from friends who understand, and the ever unpopular "gains" let us know we are only human and our bodies are not always under our full control. What better way to experience all of these phases and the emotions that go with them than with a group of individuals who TOTALLY know how we feel!

Welcome to the challenge!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
