Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

I am up this week. I worked late nights most of this week and ate junk instead of healthy choices. I am at 324. I will have to buckle down this week.

Love the new avatar, DeLarla! I am on a chocolate tear today, and I'm starting a week of steroids, so I might take you up on the weight-gain challenge this coming week. My ass is bigger than yours, nyah-nyah!

Thank you, Zoe, but do I accept your weight gain challenge even though you have the steroid advantage? Sometimes ya just gotta laugh!

I would appreciate if we could keep this thread from being hijacked to a "weight gain challenge". This thread is for weight loss and those who are serious about the challenge

I'm sure all of those in this challenge will agree.

Thanks!

Oops, is Michelle a moderator now, and did the new guidelines that were just initiated (the ones that say moderators can't dictate what we write) already change? Since when is a little humor considered a thread hijack? Every thread goes off topic, so why is this one suddenly being addressed, and why wasn't it addressed earlier during the "sciatica" hijack? It's called humor, some of us are having a hard time losing weight and if we don't laugh we'll cry. I want to lose weight just like everyone else. I'm back. Ease up.

Back on track ... =) I'm coding a way for you all to update your own weights on the "Weight Loss Challenege" website. Bear with me for a couple of days and it'll be up and updated.

Oh, and I'm up 2 lbs. I got a 1 cc fill on Thursday, but as of yet, it's worthless.

The whole weightloss challenge has me baffled right now. I thought getting the band would remove the need to challenge myself or anyone else, but without the ability to get a fill, it's just me and Willpower right now. And Willpower is for the most part, non-existent. What's everyone doing different now (for this challenge) to lose? I was enjoying too many cocktails but cut back and only had one this weekend. Next weekend I'm going for zero. I wasn't a big drinker before the band (well, back in my 20s I partied too much.) For me it's a deep rooted sugar addiction. Booze quenches that need, so when I'm not having drinks I'm craving soda. Go figure, I started drinking after getting the band but quit soda. Now I'm quitting booze and drinking soda. Sugar is gonna kill me one way or another.

Lisa,

for so long I wondered the same thing. I didnt even like to 'visit' here b/c everyone was losing, and I wasnt - so it depressed me.

This second fill has done it for me... once you get a fill, things will be different (you know this already).

How much longer will it be before you get that shiny new port (along with a fill)?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
