I can't remember if I signed up for this or not, but I definitely want to get in on this. I have a ticker already on my profile and am hoping to see One-derland by Christmas. :thumbup:

I'm so close (15.2lbs, which equals out to a little more than a pound a week). Unfortunately, I'm having band issues and go in for a fluro on Wednesday. I had an appt on the 10 (I was hungrier and though I needed a fill). I actually came away with having some Fluid taken out. The physicians assitant thought I was overfilled because I would vomit maybe once a week. Well, a week later I'm still vomiting and she scheduled the flouro to see if everything is ok.

Somehow I disappeared from the spreadsheet, so I just added myself back in.

I've changed my goal to a more realistic one though. There's no way I'm going to be able to lose 56 more pounds in the next 3 months! :lol:

I've changed my goal to 230 instead of 200.

Yesterday was the "official" halfway point. We have been doing this for three months and have three more to go. We currently have a total of 571 lbs lost- that's incredible!!!

So how is everyone doing on their goal? I've only fot 13.6lbs more to go on mine. I'm trying to decide if I should bump it up some more, but I think I'll stick with my original goal.

Here's the spreadsheet link again, just so we don'thave to go searching back through everything.

Hi! Just joined! I was successful in my last challenge - which was a memorial day one back before the summer. Hoping to be successful with this one too!

I also try to set short term goals but having a long term one like this helps keep me focused on the future.

I'm in the same boat! Only have about 15 or so left to lose and I should definitely hit that before Christmas. I'm not sure if I want to change my goal or not; I probably won't. Plus it always feels great to surpass it!

I haven't lost weight in 6 months :smile2: due to just not trying. I really need a kick in the butt. Now that the weather is starting to get cooler, I am beginning to walk again.

I want to lose about 10-15 pounds by Christmas--get me down to 200 pounds which will be nice!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
