At the bottom of the rules on the first page of this thread is the link to the spreadsheet. I'm updating all the late weigh ins now. I checked the link and it's working fine. Good luck, let us know if you need help.

I need your goal weight and starting weight. Once I get that I'll add you to the spreadsheet!

Good morning everyone, happy Monday! Just wanted to give everyone an update on last week. As a group we lost a total of 268.5 lbs (some people failed to post their numbers so we could have lost more??) 4 people hit onederland @@Bellalover had the highest % of weight loss! Great job to everyone!

I can add you to the spreadsheet but I will need your goal weight. Please post it in this thread.

Welcome to the Valentines Day weight loss challenge! Im Sarah (vsgSarah3) I have taken over the weight loss challenges form Stephh so she can focus on her new coming addition! Please be patient with me as I work full time and have 3 kids to care for. I will do my best to update every Monday, Tuesday at the latest. This is my first time hosting so please be kind! I think its best to keep the same basic rules Stephh had going so he goes. The challenge will run from Monday Jan. 4th through Feb. 15th. This will give a total of 7 weigh in's. Please add your starting and goal weight on Jan. 4th and your last weight on Feb. 15th. I will also update the spreadsheet on Mondays. The link for the spreadsheet is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZuOPpFyp_aGa6UQwcWiFzo-JTQVBrmFIot417Vq10qA/edit?usp=docslist_api Rules and Reminders: 1. You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post 2. Post weigh ins here, in this post only. 3. We are all here to support each other, so if you have questions posted here they will be answered by anyone else willing to help. 4. If you want to adjust your goal weight please add it to your reply in this post. 5. If you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just post it with your next weeks weigh in. 6. If your screen name changes please let me know your old and new name. 7. If you miss 3 or more weigh ins I will assume you no longer want to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet. This challenge is for anyone! If you have not had your surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or if you are just in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

Tomorrow is our first official weigh in!!!! Good luck to us all! I work tomorrow, so I may not get everyone updated until Tuesday. Have fun with this challenge everyone!

What's your goal weight??? [emoji4]

I need your starting weight please. The first weigh in is today!

Okay, so here's my story. I'm 11 months post op VSG. I was sleeved in Mexico as a self pay. I do not have a bariatric doctor to talk to (that's where I need your help)! Starting about 3 months after my surgery I would wake up in the middle of the night with my mouth filling up with liquid from the back of my mouth near ear/jaw bone. I then find myself running to the bathroom and vomiting acidic liquid but mostly dry heaving because nothing will come up. This repeats through the night. This has been going on 1/2 x's per month it stopped for about 2 months and has started again. I talked to my PCP and she said I should try sleeping upward at an angle and take an acid reducer before bed. I've done both and am still finding myself waking up in this annoying way! Can you help, relate?? I'm not sure if I'm flying solo here, if not please let me know what advice you were given! Thanks in advance!

Hope to see your name on the next spreadsheet!

I got you on. Sorry, I try to update everything on Mondays but I work full time and have a family of 5 to care for so sometimes I may not get to it right away. I always have Thursday's off so everything will be updated by then 4 sure! [emoji4]

Just the weight is fine!

Have you tried going to a liquid diet to try and re jump start your weight loss?? I've seen lots of post on here about a re start.

Thanks for doing this Sarah!! I absolutely LOVE these challenges and I think they are one of the best and most motivational things about this site!! My goal is going to be 274.8. Thanks!! You are so welcome! They really help me as well! I just wish my body would start dropping the lbs again!!!!

If you set your account to receive notifications then you will receive them when other people post on the same thread you post on. If you have not set your account up to receive notifications then you will just need to remember to post your starting and goal weight on 2/22 and just update your weight every Monday after that until 3/28. Then we will start another challenge. If you want to join please let me know and I'll add you to the spreadsheet! [emoji4]
