Valentine's Day Wt loss Challenge 2010



Recommended Posts

I am really excited about this challenge. During the Christmas challenge I lost 9lbs and for this challenge I would like to lose 12. Losing an additional 12 lbs will be 60% of my excess weight---- gone!!!

Ok, I have added myself to the speadsheet and it's time to get to work...NO EXCUSES FOR ME.B)

1st timer for a challenge. I have got to find some motivation. I have gained 11 lbs since October when I had to have an unfill. (I was banded in May 06 and was 7 lbs from my goal of 70.)

Hi All! I just joined today. Need that extra push so I can keep motivated AND wear something flirty and fun for the big V-DAY (which is, more importantly, my DH's birthday!)

I am getting disappointed in myself. I am up 2 pounds or so and I have every excuse in the book. I am now going to purge those excuses and lay them on the line because I'm getting tired of them swimming around in my head and I'm hoping you'll help me be accountable...

  • I'm eating things I shouldn't because:I'm just finishing my period, it's the holidays, one piece of pumpkin gooey butter cake with whipped cream won't hurt (once a day for four days...)
  • I'm not working out because: it's the holidays and I'm home with the kids, it's freezing outside, the inside walking track is closed until the 4th

And here's what I should be saying: Eat normally! Don't pig out or eat a lot of things you shouldn't just because it's the holidays! Quit making excuses you lazy butt! Crack open your brand new Wii Fit and get rolling!

SO, I went shopping the clearance racks yesterday and "bought" some motivation. We're going to Jamaica from March 6-11 for our 10 year anniversary and I want to lose 20-25 pounds by then. Talk about a challenge--but those clothes hanging in my closet should help get me off my duff.

OK, I've laid it out there. It feels good. Now, I start over with a better day today, and tomorrow, and the next day. AND, I'm going downstairs right now to throw away all the crap in this house! Here I go!

ETA: Well, the pumpkin gooey butter cake is down the sink along with candy Cane Joe Joe's Cookies and my mom's pecan balls. I put it in the trash and took it back out and put it in the garbage disposal. Deep cleansing breath. That was HARD. All the other stuff we have I do not care about. The kids have pretzels and other cookies that I don't look twice at. If they miss the stuff I pitched, too bad! They should have eaten them quicker!

I'm a little late to the party but I'm in! I did the Labor Day challenge but failed horribly...I just got a fill and I'm cruising along now. I'm more motivated this time around and I would love to set another goal. Since this started around Thanksgiving I'm going to use my weight from then as the starting (I didn't lose anything for months until last week anyway).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
