Weight Challenge: Labor Day to Thanksgiving



Recommended Posts

I'm stuck with you guys! STILL! I started lifting weights yesterday and hope that will break my plateau. I also signed up with a personal trainer so she can make sure that I am doing all I can (and doing it correctly) to continue the weight loss. Here's hoping!

Good luck everyone...don't give up! dontgiveup.jpg

I find it rather odd that we are all hitting a plateau at the same time. Maybe that means it is part of the process where are bodies are adjusting to what we have gone through so far and just need to shake things up a bit. I have a "hunch" that we will break through this soon.

Well the scale is STILL stuck. In fact, it went up a tad before settling right back where it was before. I'm pretty disgusted with the whole thing right now, but I'm still trudging through. My efforts have GOT to pay off sooner or later. I don't start with my trainer until the 24th, so I'll just keep trying on my own until then.

I doubt very seriously if I will even come close to my goal, but I refuse to change it and am still trying for it. (I told y'all I was stubborn, right? LOL)

I'm looking forward to this Saturday! The largest wine festival in the South is in Grapevine, Texas this weekend, which is about 15 minutes from home. I think it is going to be wonderful! We are taking an antique train from the Fort Worth Stockyards into Grapevine and spend the day. I will have a "cheat day" that day. I won't have time to go to the gym, and I'm going to eat whatever my heart desires! (And that my band will allow, of course!) I saw my trainer at the gym and she said to try "shocking the body" by going completely off my regimen for a day. I'll let y'all know just how bad it gets! LOL

I know I said I wasn't weighing until the weekend, but I just had to know! The scale moved a little, so I am updating, but I am now worried about getting to goal. At least I am not gaining I guess.

Dare I say it?!?!? The scale is finally starting to move in the right direction as of today. The weight lifting is helping, I believe. I'm hoping to post a good change at the end of next week. Here is to lots of sweat and lots of prayer!

OK - I gave in and adjusted my weight according to the scales at the surgeons office. So now my start weight is 349 - and my goal was adjusted to 320 - for a goal loss of 29 pounds. I think I can do that!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
