I'm hoping I can manage this! I really need the extra motivation this time of year in particular...

1. My personal goal is to generally avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day.

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.6, BMI 39.6 (just crossed out of morbid obesity - so proud of myself!)

4. I realize the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow, so for today I'll just say I'm grateful for this challenge! πŸ˜„

#1. I’m most grateful for my furnace today, it is cold and snowing here!

I can skip everything on that list minus white bread/flour. I don’t eat it often but it is one of my few vices and I deserve one!

eta: Gastric sleeve 8/18 maintenance

So um yeah... PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH -all thrown in the trash

Welcome to the November 2019 Challenge everyone.

There will be a few days where it may be impossible to be compliant. *cough* Thanksgiving, but the goal of this challenge is to clean up our diet/lifestyles enough that we don't treat everyday like a holiday (there are plenty coming anyway 😌)

1. My personal goal for this month is to drink more Water. I keep stalling and I think its because of the water intake.

2. I had the sleeve on 8/5/19 (post op & losing)

3. 312 lbs & 55 BMI

4. I'm most grateful for the extra 10 minutes of sleep I was able to get this morning :D I'm also just grateful that I have another day of life to live and that I woke up. God is good.

Oh and as far as the challenge goes, the no potatoes thing is going to be tough for me....

Day 1!

1. Avoid impulse foods and stick to the pre-planned foods I have with me each day (so far so good, despite our treat table being LOADED with goodies today...)

2. Gastric bypass, ~5 months post-op, still losing

3. CW 245.4, BMI 39.6

4. Today's question: What are you most grateful for today?

Today I'm feeling grateful for a lot of things, but since I'm in the midwestern US, I'm going to have to say I'm especially grateful for warm sweaters and blankets, because it's been COLD this week! Brrrrr.

1. My personal goal for this month is to get back to regular exercise, even though it's not part of the challenge. Also, to clean up my diet. I've been having a self-indulgent little pity party going on since August and it needs to stop,

2. I had the sleeve Feb, 2018. Revision to Rny last Halloween. Maintaining

3. 151#, 24 bmi

4. Besides my family (given!) I'm most grateful for getting a "reset" button for my health and the possibilities that opens up for me.

It was just fun food for me and my NUT asked me to eat more vegetables for Fiber instead

      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!!

      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...

      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
