Here we go again! This one is going to be a long one. Lets see who wants to join this week and have our first weigh in next Sun/Mon.

My goal is to lose the last 14 by the 4th! That is 8 weeks! Good luck everyone!

Does anyone know how to make a spreadsheet?

I would love to join the challenge. It will be my first aim. I am going to say 20 pounds cause I really have no clue since my surgery is this Tuesday but it will be something to aim for.

Great. Thanks for your help Trish and for the compliment. My 6 weeks post-op liquid diet with no mushies is apparently pretty unusual. I'm using your 3 lb. per week target and shooting for 24 lbs total. Thank you for the help and good luck on the challenge!

Yes that was glad you realized. Im new to all this not sure how to respond to someone directly. I was only on liquids for a day after my fill, but evey doctor is different. Im sure you will do great. So did you decide how much you want to try to loose you have done great so far Trish

I'm in. First one. I will try for 16 by the 4th. Thanks for starting this.

I am in and going to aim high and go for 20lbs, but I will be happy for 15lbs.

I'm in for 12lbs.

I'd like to participate as well. This is my first challenge. I was banded on March 15th and will be the big 40 on June 21st. I would like to lose 19 lbs. by July 4th. Hopefully my second fill scheduled for June 1st will help. Good luck everybody.

I am going for 25.. that is 3 lbs a week. I am going for my first fill this week! Good luck everyone!

Okay here is a spreadsheet. Anyone who is better, PLEASE fix it up or make a new one.

Sign me up as well. I'm going for 16-20lbs. I want to be down 70lbs by then.

Let's all try to post some goals we'll have to help us be successful with this challenge. (Like exercise). Mines is I am going to start with Breakfast everyday!!!:confused:

Count me in! I am shooting for 20lbs.

I get banded on the 17th but I still am focusing on losing as much weight as possible. Count me in for 20!

it seems to work fine :-)

I want to join!! But I need help on deciding what's a reasonable goal! I just had surgery May 3rd... any suggestions? My BMI right now is 39... Is 40 lbs too much to go for? Probably...
