    Default March 2012 Challenge

    Open to anyone and everyone sleeved or not.

    Here is how it works.

    Post your goals for March. This can be any changes you want to make. Work out more(set days a week maybe) drink more water, eat more protein, and a final goal for weight loss for month. Be sure to post your starting weight as well so we can all see your progress. Check back in with us as often as you can so we can see your progress and offer support. Check back in with your final report on March 31st. Check January's or February's thread for examples if you want/need to.

    Ok! I am in this! I have been stuck at this same weight now for 2 months. I am definitely dropping inches and the weight loss is so noticeable, BUT its time to kick her into high gear and STOP sabotaging myself! It's time to drop some more pounds!! Today I ate everything that wasn't nailed down...and I still am wanting more. I am menopausal I do believe...gotta love those hot flashes! NOT!
    I will put some thoughts into some achievable goals and I will post them later. I do know that I will be in ONEderland at the end of this month by golly!!



    Highest Weight 6/24/11 • 287
    Starting Weight 9/7/11 • 275
    Pre-Op Weight 10/5/11 • 258
    Surgery Weight 10/19/11 • 245

    Weight Loss since Sept 5th • 68 pounds!!

    Loss shown below is from the day of surgery • • •

    Starting weight today 189.0. Goal weight for March 31st is 180, so 9 lbs for March (lol I'm sure you can all do the math)

    I'm getting closer to goal so I need to be relatively conservative. Any more than that will be a bonus!

    Well, I dont know what to do. My home scale is 2-3 lbs off the Dr. scale. I really want to go by the Dr. scale because a) its lower and b) its the official one. BUT I cant go by that and then weigh on mine and use those numbers. I dont know what to do. My Dr's office is over an hour away or I would go weigh there. What should I do????

    Ok, I decided on my goals. The are a bit different

    1) Loose 8 lbs. So weigh 186 (starting at 196 on my scale, 194 on Dr.s) I am being conservative with this since I am now 6 months out and I plan on upping the work outs wich can slow weight loss for a bit.
    2) Work out 6 days a week (any kind of workout)
    3) DO NOT WEIGH UNTIL MARCH 31st!!! No more daily weigh ins. No weekly. ONE WHOLE MONTH!

    I wish I could do that! I'm always scared I'll go off track if I don't weigh *sigh*

    I'm in the dreaded monthly stall. I bounce up and down 1-2 lbs. I'm staying off the scale for a few days...if I can! Eating is not so great. Gotta make better choices, ugh hormones! How are you doing?

    I've been doing my walking, etc. eating right, etc. and maintaining the weight goal the surgeon set for me...but I'm going to set a weight loss goal of 10 lbs. since I'm getting sleeved next Wednesday. 10 lbs. in 3 weeks? 3 lbs. a week? It would be nice to kickstart my weight loss with a number like that, but we'll see what my body does. I'm excited and nervous!
