I did the double turn fork lift at least 500 times daily during the holidays... dang... my arm sure is sore! My butt is sore too from all of the sitting exercises I did as well... whew... glad the holidays are over... I don't think I could have taken the pace from all of my exercise much longer! :D

Seriously... I spent this last week detoxing from carbs and was a reeeeeaaaalllly good girl! Now... I promised I would add exercise to the mix this week and tomorrow's the magic day. *yikes* Weigh-in day tomorrow... this is the first weigh-in for many moons that I haven't dreaded stepping on.

Good going, Darcy! I've been doing those exercises, too. :D

Thanks to going on fitday.com, this is the first time in a month I haven't dreaded the scale. My carb cravings are back in control. They call my name and I have the strength to say no. I hope to get on the exercise pony soon, too.

Ok, Finally here are the results of the Challenge:

First a quick thanks for all who took part. If your not listed on the chart below its because for some reason(and its probably my fault) I don't have beginning and ending results. I may have miss filed them on my computer or accidently deleted them. I apoligize for my errors of any were made

Second(which really should be #1) everyone here is a winner. Check it out....not one person over the lenght of the challenge gained weight. Sure had some up and downs during but not at the end.

Nancy has the most weight loss at - 10. Congradulations Nancy ( I HATE YOU LOL LOL)

on the exercise portion it was to close to call between Betty and Zoe so I declare a tie here. They consitantly did a better job at this then the rest of us, from what I saw. Anyone want to dispute my ruling here you can call 1-800-giv-damn. LOL

Ok after numerous attempts to fix the chart for the challenge I gave up. evertime I fixed it and then posted oit came back up like this. So when you look at it the red numbers reflect the total loss for the time period after that is the starting and ending BMI. I think most can figure this out but it was frustrating trying to get it right and it won't let me lol.

Thanks, Greg! The chart is great! I'm glad we tied and neither of us gained weight. :D

Great job, everyone! I'm almost wondering if there is some mistake here. I can't believe I lost 10 pounds. But I don't keep track of my own weight on various dates, so I can't be sure. Whatever. I'll take it!

What is my holiday weight loss secret? I take a perverse pleasure in passing up all the candy, cakes, Cookies, etc. But I went a little crazy after New Year's. It was as though I just couldn't take it anymore. That's why my final weight ended up being 180 and not 179, which it had been a few days before.

Congratulations Betty and Zoe!

Nancy

Congratulations to everyone! I haven't had access to my puter for ages and have come to see how everyone has done. I am down to 83 kg or 183 ounds today. I haven't done much except eat over the past couple of weeks and have resigned myself to that fact. I have stayed pretty steady on the scale for the holiday period and I am so pleased with that.! First time in history that there is no damage done there! Can't wait to settle in to a new home and new life. Will have heaps of different opportunities to get this bod moving. I am keen to get a horse now that I am of a reasonable weight.

I tried to do a push up yesterday and nearly killed myself :laugh :laugh :laugh

Need some serious help in that department!

Anyway good to catch up and hope to become a little more regular here again.

Sorry you missed the Challenge but we'll have more.

Great Job on your weight loss.

If you want to get regular again there are all kinds of over the counter things you can take. LOL Just kidding

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
