My name is Liz, I'm about to turn 28 on Monday! I've struggled with obesity my entire life and within the last year decided to make a change. I am about 8 weeks out from the VSG, but am still setting myself up for success by continuing to use mfp to track macros and workouts.
My fit goal is "healthy", but also to be able to comfortably do the things I used to love, such as kayaking, camping, hiking.
I have 150lbs to go.
Hi, Liz, and welcome! Glad you found us! Three hours in the gym...that's quite a workout!! I could probably just google it, but while I am here, I'll just ask; What is VSG?
Yesterday, Friday, was your weigh-in day, Liz, for week #1. Do you have a weight for me?
I hope we can be inspiring and help you reach your weight loss goals and your goal to be "healthy"....love it!!0 -

Sorry, didn't get to weigh in yesterday. Busy day! Good to see all the new people joining our team. Good luck everyone. Weight loss is totally doable. One day, one hour, one bite, one step at a time. I had a really tough February but am ready to turn things around.2 -

I had a quick question, Guess it is something I should of asked when everything first started lol but when we log in daily for the mini challenge when we say "under calories" is it out of the total that is allotted daily or is it the total gained after exercise?
for example yesterday it was 1953/2180 daily allotted calories or should it say 1953/3322 because of the calories I gained through exercise.
Great question..

March 9th started out good.
Exercise - yes, 60 min on treadmill and 30 min strength training, however, calories and logging went out the window as the evening went on.
March 10th, Exercise - no, Within calories - no, and logging - no
Weekends are so hard, and it seems once I've gone over my calories for the day, I give up and eat anything I want, telling myself I'll start over tomorrow. I sure hope I don't gain the weight back that I lost last week. I have three days until I have to weigh in and better make the best of them.1 -
The results are posted for the first week of March.....
Team The Big Butt Theory lost 37.1 pounds, for a 0.68% loss. That was good enough for 2nd place, only 0.28% behind the leader. Well done, team!!!
Overall, @okalex was 3rd, with a loss of 3.91% (yeah for the flu!!!) Rounding out the top three Big Butts was @135terry with a loss of 2.79% and @shanell3827 with a loss of 2.55%. Well done, ladies!!!5 -

Terry, I feel your pain!!! Once I have gone over, I tend to go into free-for-all mode. Why do we do that??? We need to remember that food is fuel, and we need to ask ourselves if we are really hungry, or just bored, frustrated, tired or whatever before we put something into our mouth!! And if we are not hungry we need to find something constructive to do!! We need to remember that you don't have to be "perfect" to have a good week overall. A few extra calories one day is not going to derail the whole week!! But free-for-alls just might, especially if they occur in multiples!!!! (You do realize this rant was as much for me, as it was for you!!) Let's kill it this week!!!3 -

Mar Week 2
Previous Weight: 226.6
Current Weight: 228.6
This is my first gain since starting my journey in Dec, but I'm not bummed about it. I was within my calorie goal 6 out of 7 days this week. I have been pushing myself with my strength training so I assume I am gaining for the right reasons: muscle healing and building.
And I'm pretty content with my NSVs for this week. My motor skills continue to improve thanks to strength training. I feel SHAPELY and STRONG. And on Friday, my entire team commented on my weight loss so I floated through the whole day

Great question..
In case you missed the answer, being under is with exercise calories factored in.1 -

If weight loss can be attributed to mind over matter, then you got this in spades....your mind is absolutely in the right place!!! Love, love love your NSV's! And yes, your first small gain since joining team TBBT. It's now time for the rest of us to pick up the slack...something you've been doing from the beginning!!2
