In the weekly Warrior Mini-Goal Challenge focus on your short term goals.

Focusing on one week at a time, when the big picture seems too overwhelming. Small changes can bring on big results!!

Choose one or more things you want to work on for just this week. Don't set it too high or unreachable!!

Please, make sure your week works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!

You can reach your main goal if you break it into small actionable steps. It could be as easy as 1-2-3!

1) Choose something you know you can do easily.
2) Add more difficult tasks to your plan.
3) These small steps will get you started, motivated & help build routine for long term success!!

Anyone interested in joining us for another week, or a first week, or a get back on track week?

Check in often, have a great week and do the best you can! :)

    Hello Warriors,

    I have been wanting to share something with you all for some time. Paulette knows some of this. The reason I have reservations is because some are very judgmental on choices others make for themselves regarding HOW they want to reach their goals. I think Hearts know I had weight loss surgery in 2004. And it has served me well and now I am ready to try something else to give me a boost and help me reach and maintain my goals.

    I posted below to another group I just joined. The group is a group for WLS patients who have regain all or some of their weight. So happy to say I HAVE not gained all of my weight back. If that were the case I think they would have to commit me!!

    I would like your honest thoughts and feedback. It will not deter me for sure because I have to find a way to get this weight off me.

    "Good Morning all,

    I just want to introduce myself and tell you all where I am at in my journey. I met Louise from another group and found out we both had RNY. I had my surgery in 2004 and my highest weight was 611. I lost over 300 pounds, kept off about 200 and never reached goal weight of about 220. I would even settle for 250ish. The lowest I got to was 302.

    Now I need knee surgery and they will not even consider it until I get to a 40 BMI. So right now that is my main goal to get to a BMI of 40 sooner than later.

    So to help me get to that, in January I joined Weight Watchers. By May I was just yo-yoing on the same 10 pounds. Never exceeding more than 10 pounds lost. So I visited my doctor and she is a new doctor for me. I chose her because she is a weight loss specialist and a PCP doc. She recommended high protein diet with carbs between 50 and 100. and substituting lunch with a protein drink with 5 carbs and 30 protein. She also recommended a medication called Contrave. and said if that was too expensive and my insurance did not cover it that she had other meds in mind that she wanted me to try. My insurance does not cover any weight loss medications. So I could not afford Contrave.

    Plan B was a pill called Phentermine. So I was still fighting it. so it is now July so on Monday I called Costco and went and picked up Phentermine. Yesterday was day one on it and I could definitely feel a difference in craving food all the time. So now I am just worried about the side affects and which ones will I have if any. So far from my research I have seen that many have constipation and dry mouth.

    So with WW (behavior modification program) and this pill I am going to get to that BMI of 40.
    In January me and my doctor will see where I am at because I am considering another procedure to help me keep off lost weight if my insurance covers it.

    ok that is all, just wanted to give you all a little more info about me. I look forward to getting to know you all better as we strive for maintenance and a healthier us :smile:"

    HI Molly- it takes a lot of courage to put yourself and your story out there. I commend you. I hope that the members of the group help you. You are doing whatever you can to get together weight off. We know that the excess weight is not good for us and getting on track is important. Keep moving forward. As far as the medication and side effects, see how it goes. If you have some decide if they are livable.

    Keep going and finish your week strong. You are so worth it!
