Pre-New Year's Resolution...No Holiday Weight!



Recommended Posts

I just got back in town from a vacation with a bunch of my friends and I'd be lying if I said I'm not afraid to weigh in. I'll weigh in tomorrow or the day after and let you know know how my "lose before New Year's is going". :thumbup:

I don't have my lapband yet but I say Dream BIG. If it wasn't a challenge you wouldn't be betting 100 dollars on it. Go for it and good luck.I think I will aim for 15.

(9/20) down. I was stuck at the same weight for about 5 or 6 days, but finally I moved some this morning!

Yup. Bit off more than I can chew. I've lost a whopping 5lbs. I'm in negotiations to restructure the wager part of this, double the money, same weight, more time.

But nonetheless, I'm determined to lose weight before New Year's gets here.

30 in a week would be dangerous, so hopefully they'll let you restructure. Or, you could cut your losses?

I am down 6 pounds. 9 more to go. 11 days. I got a Wii balance board and Wii Fit Plus friday. I have worked out an hour everday the past 3 days on it. Mostly doing balance games. I hope to do more aerobics on it this week. I love the yoga.

I hope you are making more progress on your goal.

I weigh 222 as of this morning... so 14 pounds out of 20! 6 to go... eee. Only a few days left, I don't think I'll quite make it, but maybe I will by next Monday.

Well, I'm officially a failure. I just got back in town from the holidays and I have a net gain for 2 lbs :biggrin:

Holidays are the death of me!

I gained 3...but I think that's partially because I moved from mushies to solid foods. I have 9 left until I reach my goal... well, even if it doesn't come by New Year's, that's fine, because I know it will be gone eventually ;)

I have lost 13. Two more pounds and I will have reached my goal. Cutting it close. Gives me something to focus on while schools out and I await my surgery.

I was out of town for 2 weeks but managed to lose 9 of the 10 lbs I was trying for. Can't complain about that!:rolleyes2:

We all got close, and we're all going to eventually achieve our goals, so I think this was just in good fun! I have my first fill on January 23rd (and I've been pretty stagnant at my current weight of 224). I've also upped my exercise so hopefully that will get me going again. I want to be 216 to reach my goal soon!

losing weight over the holidays if very hard! I kept in mind that I need to lose weight but over winter break I only lost a whopping 3-4 pounds! I am disappointed but I'm not going to let that hold me back. Lets set a longer goal for 50lb before summer.

Let me lose down to my first goal then I'll set a new one for June 1st... but it will probably be around 40 pounds.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
