New Year Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am leaving for Singapore in a few days and while I'm bringing my laptop with me, I'm not sure if I'll manage to get an internet connection.

So this will probably be my last update on the challenge until I get back on the 7th of Jan. With Christmas and packing, I don't think I'll be online between now and when I fly off.

I'm just 0.2lbs away from my goal of a 12lbs loss! I am hoping that it will go and stay off while I'm over in Singapore with all its yummy food!

Will see you all in the New Year! Merry Christmas everyone and may your new year be everything you hope it will be!

Just wanted to quickly come on and update that I've reached goal! 181lbs to 169lbs before New Years and Im 168lbs plus change as of today!

Good luck to everyone still striving for goal! You can do it! And even if you don't, you're down however much you've lost, and that's a success in it's own right!

I don't think I will make goal by next week, but I have finally lost 2lbs. I have been stuck for the past 3 weeks at the same weight! Woo Hoo!

I have 4lbs to meet my goal - it would take a miracle, but I will be happy with any downward movement!

Ick. I put on 3 pounds this week. Travel, no exercise, visiting family, emotional stress all caught up with me. It's just a bump in the road though, and I'm getting back on track. We'll just have to see how things go this week.

Start 281 - current 271 - 2lbs to go to the New Year Challenge Goal.

I had a new treadmill delivered up here in the beautiful mountains with several feet of snow on the ground and am on vacation this week - so my goal is to get 5 miles per day of walking and exceed the remaining 2 lbs.

Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work! :hurray:

New Years Challenge Results -

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!!!!

I am checking in two days early because I am going to Disney World with the family to Celebrate the holiday.

I am 2 lbs short of my goal but I lost 8 lbs since the challenge started Nov. 15.

I am very happy with my results. I did splurge over the past few weeks. I postponed my December fill until Jan 6th so I could enjoy the holiday.

Next Goals are very important. I plan on losing 20 more lbs by May 1st....

Good Luck to all....

Woo hoo! I've lost the 3.2 pounds I put on over Christmas, plus another 0.6, to put me at just 0.2 from my end of year goal. And I'm not gonna pout over that little bit - it'll be gone by this time tomorrow anyway!

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!

Ok this challenge did not work out so well for me. :confused:

I think the need for a fill and the holidays did a number on me. I was better than I have ever been before which is wonderful, but overall the Desserts got me.

For this challenge, I lost 6 lbs. Not what I wanted, but hey I will take the loss!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
