Well, since my Vday challenge went well and it helped keep me focused...What the heck. I will do another one of these! I just joined the gym last night so I think I will be able to make 20 pounds by spring.

That will put me weighing less than when I got married! that was in January of 2000! WOW!

Considering I'm averaging a pound a week, I'm going to set my goal based on that average, which, coincidentally, will take me to ONEDERLAND, the same goal I had for the Valentine's Day Challenge. :cursing:

As typical for this slow loser (and not having good restriction) my goal will be low. Plus I hate to overshoot and be disappointed, so I will post a goal of 5 pounds, one a week.

SADES: First day of spring is March 20. (Your Autumn I would guess). so we have five weeks for this challenge!

You set an aggressive weight loss. Routing for you to make it!

With the right fill, we'll both have a chance!

If I don't start losing aggressively Shortgal then I will feel this whole process is just another diet that fell by the wayside. I hope the next fill is the one for both of us.

I know this can work, but I still have a lot of mental challenges to work on for this to be successful, LONG TERM.

Right now I feel the band just helps me slightly to stay on course, my brain is fighting my band. I think the amount I've eaten sometimes is "too little" to sustain a person, so I know some times, I'm head hungry.

How do I get enough Protein without too many calories? How do I get enough nutrients/vitamins/calcium in my food without too many calories? How do I get enough Fiber and so on? This is what my brain tells me, in an attempt to get me to eat more.

If I am going to be successful, long term, I have to work on this now! I'm trying. I wait the hour after eating and then drink Water and I realize that if I wait a half hour after eating, I am more satisfied than I think, but I know I could eat more, if I allowed myself to. And I am still counting the time to my next snack or meal.

I now have a mental image of my brain and stomach arguing over these things, kind of like the images of a devil in one ear and an angel in the other, helping us make a decision.

This is not an easy road, for sure.

Well, I'm going to sign on and try this. I don't know how to do all the little weight trackers and icon things so I'll start out simple and maybe I'll get it after awhile. Congrats to all of you out there!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
