Time for the next challenge...

4th of July Challenge!

Here we go with the rules and instructions:

1. Be sure and log in here on Friday, May 30, 2014 to post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.

2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that this challenge is only 4 weeks long (5 weigh-ins).

3. Weigh in every Friday and post your updates here.

4. Watch the data at 4th of July Challenge (click to be taken to an online spreadsheet) to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Note for you non-USA folks...even though it is not your country's Independence Day, it is definitely your country's "Fourth of July" (I mean, it's the 4th of July everywhere, right?!?) So here's hoping you'll think of this as a holiday to share with us and join in on the fun here. Happy 4th of July, folks!

I am back to 170.8! Grrrr lol

So in addition to my lady reply about being so happy for you Bea-- if no one steps up to this job you've been so great at- I think we should keep going without an 'official record keeper' and be our own cheerleaders-- I can help cheerlead daily but I cannot do the tracking and spreadsheets:)

Again so excited for you Bea!!

Fourth weigh in - CW 332 - feeling good! Can I make 326 tho? I'll have fun trying :-)

Third weigh in CW 338 - picking up the pace, not sure if it will be enough to get to goal - but I'm going for broke anyways :-)

Second weigh in CW 342 - slow pace on the down - I am the tortoise :-)

First weigh in CW 345 -,- a bit slow but a loss nonetheless!

(SW 348 - GW 4th of July 326)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
