@Zahra- PLEASE feel free to start the spreadsheet! We are more or less posting just for accountability, but I just don't have the time to take up the spreadsheet as I'm in my last semester of grad school!

THIS WEEK------

Let's talk about: What is the one thing that you swore you would walk away from when you had surgery that you ended up caving and going back to? Could be a food, a behavior, a person, a habit, etc...

This week I worked hard to walk away from soda. what a challenge. I LOVE my soda. I swore I would not drink soda after surgery and in fact, I stayed away from it for nearly 2 years. But then one day I took some diet ginger ale, then one thing led to another...I drank way more of it this week than I should, But I was able to pour out all the cups/bottles etc and bid it farewell. I still have a strong craving. I am drinking ice coffee for a while for the caffeine to ward off any symptoms. After about a week of this I'll switch to cold tea and I should be good. I haven't weighed yet, I'll do that tomorrow...Have a great week everybody!

The habit that has crept back for me is late night snacking and if I set a cut off time, e.g no food after 7 pm, all I do is obsess on the time. I think I need to ween myself, maybe try a

smoothie to not feel deprived but to get off of an additional meal or high calorie snack.< /p>

Ok folks, I've created a spreadsheet (attached) I've updated any data or weights that were included in the threads. I'll continue to update as people post. I have a column for starting measurements and/or clothes size which I'll only update at the start of your challenge and the end so go ahead and add them if you want. I'll do weight updates weekly. just post your info on here if I've missed you. I can add people any time if you are late to the challenge. no problem.

I have hidden feb and march for now but will open those up as we move along. Good luck everyone.

Sorry for the late update but I am now at 145.5 and officially only 15 pounds away from goal. I've started dating again this past week which has been interesting. Definitely need to watch my alcohol intake and make sure I'm getting enough Water. Protein is good, but I also started to see some hair shedding for the first time this week which has freaked me out more than I can even say. Hoping it doesn't get any more dramatic and goes away soon!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
