What do you think Jane you wanna start a Donut Day challenge when this one is over?

I dont know about everyone else but this has been my first challenge and it has really made me push a little harder and watch what I eat a little better so it would be great if we could keep these going...

I dont think I am going to be able to drop 4 pounds in a week and a half at this point. I feel pretty good about that though, I think i can get within 2 pounds of it. It is not like I am crying into my steel-cut oatmeal about it I am super pleased all in all!

Hi all: I've been stuck for a week and FINALLY got my TOM with a vengeance today so I have a change to make it. I get tighter at this time of month and usually drop a few with Water weight. Don't know if I will do 5 pounds in a week as that is almost unheard of for me on the band, but if I can do it any time it is in the spring exercising compared with a monster period. Just five more.

Others have looked for a new challenge as they have liked this one so much. There is a July 4th challenge, but I agree there might be an intermediate chanllenge that can keep us focused. I have really liked this one; love the chart. Nick

I may not make the 200 lbs I hoped for, but I am very happy with the progress, at 210! Clothes are fitting sooooo much better, all those pants that I bought at a size 16 and some 14's (so long ago), well, they fit pretty darn good, some loose! Happy with the April'Fools weight loss. I will try for 205 by the date!:frown: Good luck to us all, it's getting close to showdown:tt2:

pvtash, You have still lost weight- that's the important part. Any loss is a win!!.and the non scale victories( i.e looser clothes) are often more thrilling than the scale!! I had to be reminded the weight loss will eventually average 1# /week. So you are doing fine!!

I've lost 8lbs and I'm thrilled about it, but will not be able to make my goal. Oh well, I'm super happy with my loss to date and have started a May challenge as well. PS..I'm down for the donut challenge :rolleyes2:

      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!!
