Fall Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Okay ladies and gents, you asked for it, a Fall Weight Loss Challenge.

How it works:

This challenge will be for a 10 week period, starting today, September 5th and ending Monday, November 14th (just in time for all that Turkey and other goodies on Thanksgiving). Everyone is welcome to participate.

1. Make a weight loss goal for the 10 week period.

2. Post your start weight as of the day you join the challenge.

3. Post a photo of yourself at your weight as of the date you start the challenge.

4. Weigh in each Monday and post your progress here.

5. At the end of the 10 weeks post an after photo of yourself so we can all join in seeing and celebrating your accomplishment.

My starting weight this morning for the challenge is 251.

My goal is to lose 20lbs in the next 10 weeks. I will post a before picture (which is my Summer Weight Loss Challenge after photo) later today or tomorrow morning sometime.

I love these challenges! They help keep me motivated, and help to keep the scale moving!

OK I'm in I need to take a picture for the challenge. There are no photo's on the board yet of me. THis will be my debut!

I'm 198 and in 10 weeks I would like to be 180 , on second thought 179.9 sounds sooooo much better. So just shy of twnety pounds for me. This will put be in a comfortable 14 or a snug 12. and 30 away from my goal of 150.

Thanks for the challenge!!!!! Lets all kick some butt!!!

Perfect timing for me to be in! I'm just getting started, with a weight of 336.5...so I believe that I am good for 37 pounds. I really want to break the 300 mark!

Im gonna get real here.

When I went for my consultation, my surgeon asked me what weight I wanted to see. My response was 175. He suggested me go for 150. I was in awe - Ive NEVER been 150 after the age of 12.

SO, back to MY original goal...

I want to lose 5 pounds in this challenge (but 10 would be fine with me too).

This would put me at my MY original goal weight.

The heck with getting to 150, I just wanna see 175 (for now)! ;)

Okay, count me in too. I'll try to get my son to take a pic in the morning.

Start for me is 189--goal is 169 by week 10.

I am HIGHLY MOTIVATED right now because my brother is getting married October 29 and there will be family members there that I only see every few years (family weddings and funerals). I sure would like to knock them out with a new, improved Kare!

      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.

      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!!
