Labor day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

http://1drv.ms/1xo5e8r

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.

First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

Im in, again! CW 159.2, goal weight 152.

I made goal the last two challenges but didn't on the two previous ones, so we'll see what happens. I'm coming up on 9 months out and it's getting more unpredictable as I get closer to my original goal. At this point I kinda feel like I'm on maintenance but I keep losing. Hopefully my weight will just level off at some point on it's own. I still have to be pretty diligent about what I eat, make good choices. If I slip I go up a lb or 1.5 lbs but I get right back on track quickly and that seems to jump start a little extra loss. I'm still 19 lbs from my original goal but I look and feel fantastic where I am so if I lose more, great, if I don't, that's great too. In 8 1/2 months I've lost 91 lbs! Thanks for taking up these challenges, they really help me keep my head in the game :)

Thank you for taking this over! I do love these challenges :)

I won't be home to weigh until Tuesday, so will use my starting weight from Friday ( last day at home) of 182.4.

Sw: 182.4

Gw: 169.9

Odd goal, but I would like to hit the 160s. I think I want to settle around 170 with my top maintenance of 174. Getting there by the end of summer would be great! I just need to stay away from the sugar.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
