Jan. 30th:

Goals update- to use timers all month. This pretty much happened. Mostly mental timers as I chose to go more than 30/30 most of the time.

Once I had to drink then eat right after, couldn't be avoided but it was such a small amount that I was not worried. I don't enjoy breaking the rule but, real life...

Starting Weight for Jan: 112.9 / 249
GW for Jan: 108 / 238

Jan Goals:
- Lose a kilo a week
- make up all my Ramadan missed fasts
- keep net carbs under 50 a day

UPDATE: I'm 108 on the dot! I was briefly 107.9 but bounced back up but a good poo should sort that. GOAL MET WOOOHOOO

Couldn't do all my Ramadan days but I made a good headways into them, so I'll say that's GOAL HALF MET

Net carbs schmet carbs. Failed miserably on this one. Turns out I can't give up fruit and kidney Beans. GOAL NOT MET

I originally was planning a goal of 250 by the end of January, that was before TPN entered my life, only have lost 3 pounds in a month. So I guess I shall amend my goal, think I will go to February and do a goal of 260, I'm at 267 so if I step up my exercising , even if it's DvDs and TV I might make it by February 28th. Can't cut back on foods, only getting 1 token meal a day but I still want to be with you all. So see you in February ones,okay?

#30 Goal Progress

-Get into onederland: accomplished! Been in the 190s since mid-month

-Find a therapist and go: accomplished! Have been twice, third appointment tomorrow. Can't say I feel any different, but I know it will be a long road.

-Pick a darn surgeon for my plastics: not reached yet. However, I have completed all my consults and I am in the process of choosing. Still hoping to have my surgeries in the spring.

-Start tracking and keep tracking: Kinda??? I do track more often, but it is still not where it should be. Putting in a solid effort at least!

CW: 150.4lbs

GW #3: 130lbs

10.5 months post op RNY

I'm at #1 goal weight, but I want to lose more!!! I want to see if I can destroy my thunder thighs once and for all!

Goals

Consume 60-74g or more Protein per day

Take all my Vitamins

Get in 100+ oz Fluid a day

Start logging faithfully

Start exercising again today! Walk 1hour 6 days per week, and add in strength training and core building exercises 3 days per week.

I too have grown complacent over the holidays and it shows. Even though my weight and waist size are stable and the same as they were pre-holiday, from looking at my pics, it looks like I'm "soft" and spongy? Like my tummy is bigger and my thighs look flabbier!! Grrrr!!! More thigh rub! Ok....I'm a do this thing!

(Sorry, I still have 1 MORE Christmas to Celebrate this weekend and presents left to be wrapped. It's the Christmas that never ends! *sigh*)

January 30th Goal Update:

CW: 148.4lbs

Incrementally going down--but still 4lbs up from my lowest weight this month. Grrrrrr! Drat you, Lex Luther!!

• Protein
• Water
• Vitamins
• Logging Faithfully
• Check plus on all of the above here

Staying within Calorie Goals (mostly)

Exercising as planned (needs improvement)

Keeping up with the challenge reporting reqs, needs BIG improvement! LOL. Sorry but I'm not a selfy/photojournal kinda girl. Mainly cuz it's labor intensive to send the files from my phone to desktop--then I feel compelled to correct the lighting and increase sharpness in PSD, then upload. Gah. Ain't nobody got time for those shenanigans. LOL.

I want to participate next month as much as possible.

TY so much to @GreenTealael for hostessing this challenge and for keeping us uplifted and engaged! This challenge really helped me refocus!!!! MUAH!

Late is better than never! I took the picture on the 1st so I can compare at the end of the year!


2) My January Goal is to get into the 180's, I'm currently 194.2 so I'm hoping for at least a 5 lbs loss this month.

3) 2019 goals is to hike a new and moderate to hard trail every week, so 52 total. Also to run a 5K. I use to run them before I gained all my weight back, so I want to smash my old times

Jan. 30th - Goals update!

Well, my goal was to get into the # 180's, and I did it! Today I weighed in at # 183.4 lbs!! That's a loss of 10.8 pounds! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be down even more! And so far in January I have hiked a new hike every week! I'm glad I aimed small though because those 11 pounds were hard work! I'm excited for the February challenge to see how much I can shed before my trip to Hawaii in March! I am on week 4 of my C25K, and so excited for my first race in a few months.

This has been a great month and I'm so grateful for this challenge for keeping me on my toes and distracted. I've loved watching all of your journeys, and I can't wait to join you in the February challenge!

#30 - January Goals Update

I'm in!

SW: 243

CW: 137.8

GW: 135 - 131.2 on 1/30

11 months post op

Small caveat, my current weight is last time I weighed myself on 12/27. I won't get back to a scale until 1/4, and I'll try to remember to weigh in.

I'm at goal weight, so I don't necessarily want to lose more (unless I can choose where the weight comes from ). The 135 was my recent post WLS low weight.

Goals

Consume 50 g or more Protein per day - Fail, I ate more Protein than previously, but most days got nowhere near 50g

Take all my Vitamins - Fail, I took more supplements than I was previously, but not daily

Get in 64 oz Fluid a day - Meh, hydrated more consistently then I had previously, I'm calling that a win

Start logging again - Yes! I actually did this EVERY DAY!

Well, I haven't met all my goals for this month. Primarily I wanted to break my evening snack habits. I'm better but not all the way there so I didn't lose as much as I wanted but I did break through another stall. I'm officially ending the month at 220lbs. That means I lost 15lbs this month and.....

I'VE OFFICIALLY LOST 101LBS!!!!!

[GreenTealael 24,866]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tomorrow is the finale of the challenge: Before & Afters, weigh-ins, self assessments, Challenge critique, etc.

It has been an absolute pleasure hosting this party with everyone!

The level of participation was...

Hope to see you in February !!!!
