Hi everyone we totally rocked the last two challenges. So I think if we all get together and do a weightloss challenge it will be motivating and supportive. We can do a weekly weigh in.
The goal I want us to shoot for is 50lbs.

So far we have 8 people. Thanks guys for committing yourselves to do this. I hope I am supportive enough for all of you. All your journeys inspire me to keep going and give it my all. So if no one else joins if we 8 lose 6.25 lbs each in June we will hit our goal. No pressure..lol Here is to a great week and on our way to sexy pants!!

@bigghunny I love the sexy pants!!! And I think 6.25 is a realistic goal. Let's do this!!!1
-
@bigghunny You're so right. Cheers to a 6.25 lb loss for all of us!0

Fair warning. I'm scheduled for eye surgery on the 18th and a full week of being home all day with the curtains drawn, doing nothing...... I have no idea what that is going to do to my numbers.0
-
@PloddingTurtle good luck! Don't worry about the numbers, worry about taking care of yourself and your recovery.0

@cnavarro002. It's not so much my health I'm worried about, but the bored snacking. Maybe I'll go through the cupboards looking for the low-hanging fruit of the snacky stuff and take it somewhere else for temporary safe keeping. I'm imagining my days are going to go like this:
- nap
- eye drops every X hours
- bathroom
- drink water
- chafe at being in a darkened apartment on the longest days of the year (it will probably be glorious weather too - which reminds me - I should get the air conditioner unit set up in case it's blistering hot)
- eat
- nap
- more eye drops
- more water
- bathroom again
- wander aimlessly through the kitchen.....

june 12th i see the doctor so I will see then how much and post it !!
good luck everyone1 -
@PloddingTurtle Is there any light excercise you can incorporate into your daily routine? Small hand weights. Seated chair workouts? Try to find fruit or veggie straws that you can put into your cupboards so even if you mindlessly snack it won't do to much damage? Eye surgery is no joke I m sending you good vibes for a healthy speedy recovery.

Thanks, @bigghunny. I'm not exactly sure what activity will be permitted, but the concern is that an increase in blood pressure could cause damage to sensitive eye tissue before it's completely healed, so it's being strongly suggested I rest the whole time.
I've already been told no water in the eyes (so no showering without goggles), no exercise, no lifting or carrying anything heavier than 10 lbs. I don't think I really have to leave the TV off and stay off the computer the whole time; it's more a matter of just limiting my exposure to both to within a reasonable amount of time.
I also admit that I exaggerate about the daylight exposure for dramatic effect. I don't actually have to live in the dark for the whole week. I can go out but have to wear dark sunglasses.

@PloddingTurtle forget what I said about excercise..lol Don't want to get your blood pressure up. I think the TV and computer should be ok if you wear protective glasses. I am a home body so I know what binging cravings feel like. I try to find things to do mostly cleaning read a book or walk around. Needless to say by the end of the day my house is spotless..lol If you get bored we can always swap messages during the day. 1

Week 1: +3.6 lbs
A gain, and an explanation: I'm sorry to report a gain -- how stinky! -- and on the first week's weigh in too. I think I experienced what is commonly known as an MSG reaction. I've never had one before, or, if I did, it was never this dramatic. The day after my Chinese food birthday celebration and pre-dinner wine indulgence, I was 5 lbs heavier. Water weight, I knew. By the next morning it was 10 lbs heavier. I was bloated to the point of pain. I could barely get my shoes on. I've been pushing water hard for the last two days in an effort to clean it out of my system and reduce the inflammation, but it's slow going.
On a bright note, I am expecting a bit of a whoosh effect next week.1 -
So a couple of weeks ago hubby and I went on a trip to see the grandkids. 10 hour drive each way = a 5 lb gain of water weight. But since coming back home I have not been able to get it off. I finally had my whoosh!!!
Starting weight: 292.6
today's weight: 286.9
Total loss: -5.7
June group total loss: 2.1
@PloddingTurtle sounds like a horrible experience! I can't even imagine how you must have felt. Rooting for your whoosh next week!! Good luck!!1 -
@PloddingTurtle I hope you feel better soon. This challenge is to encourage and support. I don't want anyone to feel guilty during this process. Life is going to happen and we can't beat ourselves up for it. We all know weightloss isn't linear. @cnavarro002 Aren't grandkids the best?... hope you and hubby enjoyed the trip. Great loss wishing you and hubby great success on this journey hopefully he logs his weigh in to..lol 1

@cnavarro002 and @bigghunny, you are the best!
Hope and vision is fueling me me right now while I work at building knowledge and successful new habits; I refuse to give power to the scale other than just a tool to mark my progress.0 -

Wow! I am just caughting up on the week! I have to say that this one the first of three crazy weeks. I coached my girls’ softball team on Monday and Wednesday. We had an awards ceremony at my son’s high school. He got awarded an amazing award...it was a super proud moment. Then I had a big event at work that required me to be at school until 9pm last night. On top of it all I had report cards to finish and I came down with strep throat! Sorry about the venting, but wanted to explain my absence this week. I fear that the next two weeks will be the same, but then summer vacation!
I weighed in this morning and am down 0.6lbs. Current weight is 292.7. Group total is 4.1 pounds. Great job everyone!0 -
Omg...my brain is like mush....I noticed that I wrote “caughting”. So embarrassing since I teach English Language Arts!0

Sigh - sorry guys, I had a gain this week. Saturday was really hot here - and my ankles swelled up like watermelons. Then my son graduated in Sunday. I had planned on not tracking on Sunday so that was as planned and I didn’t go too crazy. However the leftovers from the party did me in and I was off plan for a total of 5 days and I am ashamed to admit there was binging.
So.... I am up 8 lbs. I was back with the program today and I know most of it is water weight so I will have a loss to post soon.0 -
@JJKM02 sounds like a crazy busy week. Congrats on still losing.
@MzCara148 look at my post above. No apologies necessary in this group. Life is going to happen. Ups and downs are expected. The only one you have to answer to is yourself. Everyone please know challenges are great and motivating not meant to cause guilt or sadness.
Celebrate your loved ones graduation is a special time. My daughter's graduation almost killed me from stress and food. I survived and went on from it to lose. Just don't lose sights of your goals. Pick up and keep going. Sorry for long post just want everyone to know we are in this together and I support you through THICK AND THIN. (YES pun intended)
Hope your throat clears up soon
I hope the swelling goes down soon0 -
I gained too.
Current weight 365.8. Im up 1.4 lbs. Sorry guys0 -
Looks like we all need to shake this last week off. Reset time!1
