Hope everything is ok!

Hi all! Happy Memorial Day! I was 168.0 this morning. I'll be updating the spreadsheet tonight. This challenge will close on Sunday.

Here is the link for the next challenge! Starts on Monday, June 1. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/340842-4th-of-july-challenge/

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Monday, June 1. From there on after, weigh ins will take place on Monday. The last weigh in will be Monday, July 6. This will allow a total of 6 weigh ins in all. The link for the spreadsheet is posted below. A Few Reminders You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post. Please post weigh ins here in this post only. We are all here to support each other, so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help. If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post. if you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just report back in the next week. But if you miss three or more weigh ins, I will assume that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from spread sheet. This challenge is for anyone! If you didn't have surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or even if you're in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

Just wanted to add that we have had 20 people reach their goal already!

Hi all!!! We lost 170.4 as a group last week. That's just crazy and amazing! Please check the spreadsheet to make sure I have your information down correctly. Let me know if something needs to be changed! We have one last weigh in for this challenge! I will be creating another challenge (Starting June 1 and ending July 6) and will make sure to post the link here. We have three incredible people who have lost over 11% this challenge alone so far!!! @@TudaTank2 with 11.97% @@momfromjersey22 with 11.60% @Idnoerds with 11.11% Keep up the great work everyone!

Good morning all! I was 169.3 this morning. I'm happy to have finally broken into the 160s!!!! I'll be updating the spreadsheet sometime this evening. My husband is out of town, so I'll probably do it after our toddler goes to sleep. Happy Monday everyone and have a good week!

Hi all! We lost a total of 137.0 last week! Great job everyone! We have a new highest % of weight lost person: @Idnoerds, with 11.11%! Keep up the great work! @armygalawife, sorry I had the wrong goal! It should be fixed now! If I wrote down anybody else's weights/goals wrong, please let me know and I'll fix it! I've decided the next challenge will be a 4th of July challenge! It will start June 1 and end July 8. Watch out for the next link in the next few weeks. I hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Monday! I was 170.3 this morning. I will update the spreadsheet this evening. I hope everyone had a good day!

Hi all! The spreadsheet is updated as of 6:30 EST on Tuesday, May 5. If I made a mistake or missed you, please let me know. As a group, we lost 197.7 pounds last week! @@TudaTank2 has lost the biggest % so far, with 8.62%! Keep up the great work everyone!

I'm sorry, I haven't had this happen to me. I only got my every few months and unfortunately it's still like that =( I shouldn't complain because I don't have to have one every month, but I had a hard time getting pregnant before, so I feel like I'm still going to have a hard time. Hopefully someone else can answer your question!

OMG!! How did it go?! I'm going to need a panniculectomy when I'm done.

Happy Monday, all! I was 170.9 this morning. I will be updating the spreadsheet after work tonight! I hope everyone has a good week!

OMG, this is so exciting!!! Congratulations!!! Keep us posted on your progress. I would like to have another baby (or more) soon, and am curious about how pregnancy will work with a sleeve.

Do you want this weight for 4/27 or 5/4?

Do you have a goal weight for this challenge? I know its hard to know how much you will lose, especially so close to your surgery! How did it go?

The spreadsheet is updated as of 8:30pm EST on Wednesday, April 29. We lost a total of 129.6 this week! Great job group! @@TudaTank2 has the highest % of loss so far this challenge at 7.78% so far!

Do you have a beginning weight to start at for this week? Thanks!

Do you have a FitBit scale? Mine is super sensitive like that! Clumps of hair get under it and mess it up! Great weight loss this week either way!

Good morning all! I was 173.1 this morning. It was my first gain over the course of a week, so I'm a little disappointed! I'll be updating the spreadsheet later tonight after work. Have a good day!

@@SleevedNFree, sorry, somehow I missed your name the first time around! I found a goal weight for you of 243. Is that correct? Sorry again!!!

I'm doing great, thanks! So very happy I made the decision to change my life like this. I'm much more confident and feel a lot more comfortable with myself. I starting running in December, which I'm loving. Plus, I get to buy cute workout clothes/bags/shoes/accessories At my sixth month checkup, all of my lab work looked good! I was nervous because I wasn't taking the recommended Calcium supplements (they made me gassy and my mother/grandmother have high calcium levels) and mine turned out to be high normal. *Big sigh of relief*. The PA I saw was super impressed with my weight loss; I was about at 78% loss of excess weight that day. I'm currently wearing mediums *gasp* and size 10s *GASP*. This is so weirdly hard to get used to for me! I accidentally bought an x-large shirt last week without thinking (I wore a 1x/2x before surgery, but was in denial about that too haha). I still have a little less then 30 pounds to go, but honestly I would be OK with never losing another pound.

Hi all! Happy Tuesday! The spreadsheet has been updated with everyone's info as of 7:50pm EST on Tuesday, April 21. If you post your weight after tonight, it probably won't get updated until Sunday. Congrats to @@TudaTank2 for having the highest % of weight lost so far this challenge! As a group, we lost 204.0 pounds last week! So incredible!!!

A lot of us have been at this awhile. This is my third challenge; I've had time to lose weight. No one here will judge you; we've all been there!

Do you have a beginning weight for last week?
