down only one pound but I am staying positive we can do this, and I know it may be early but as soon as this challenge is over lets start a July 4th challenge. I am WAY more motivated when it is a challenge! Good Luck :-) Crystal

Down a pound--I am proud of that because I did not weigh last week for my Tuesday weigh-ins until this past Saturday because of TOM, so this morning I had already lost another pound since Saturday in addition to the 1.6 on Saturday.

Congrats to everyone--a loss is a loss!!!

Mom's Day Challenge Stats

Start: 203lbs

Today: 201lbs

Loss: 2lbs

Wheeeeee!!!!!!:thumbup:

Is it too late to join the challenge? If not, I'd love to be in. I didn't see this thread until today. :thumbup:

Anyway - I'd like to set mine at 13 lbs. I've got a month and my first fill coming up - should be able to do that I hope!

Today I'm 257.6. If I lose 13 lbs, that takes me down to approximately 244. (I'd love to see 240 by then!)

I'll start my ticker! Thanks for doing this challenge and I will definitely do the next one, too!

I'm down 2 lbs. 8 to go.

I'm down 4 lbs this week. This challenge has motivated me to step up my workouts. I did a 5K walk yesterday. WooHoo! I am laying off treating myself to any chocolate until after Mother's Day. :thumbup:

hmmm....stayed the same. Oh well...at least I didn't gain. I'm on week 2 post op, still on liquids. I go for a checkup on wednesday, so hope to get a fill date then! Great job to all you losers out there!! Lets keep it up!

I am a recent bander (3/29/10). Would love to participate in the Mothers Day Challenge. I weigh 216 and would love to shoot to be under the 200 lb mark by Mother's Day. So I would like to lose 17lbs!....

hey Leftover.... I am going on vacation starting on April 17 and will not be back until may 3. I will have a laptop with me and am hoping to have internet access but just in case, I might not be able to update mine until I return. I hope this will be alright.

should be fine, Ill keep you in mind =) Enjoy your vacation!

Best of luck to everyone!

I just started the challenge today - when is the official weigh-in? That way, I can keep you updated. :thumbup:

Ginger, Here is the link to the spread sheet, add your name and starting weight (you could use last Monday for a starting point if you remember what it was) and how much you have lost as this week if you want. Or just use your weight today as starting and skip the first week weigh in.:thumbup:
