Seeing as how Christmas is six months from tomorrow, this would be a longish challenge. It would be for 26 weeks (26 weekly weigh ins). Anyone interested?

I did this, just copied it into the cells so it will auto calculate so long as everyone puts their results in.

Thank you

Sign me up! It's so hard to imagine what weight loss will look like down the pike a little. I'm at 210 now so I'll go with 35 lbs, taking me to 175. I can't imagine weighing that. It would be almost criminal!

p.s. I sorted the sheet alphabetically, just for ease of use. I hope that's ok! Happy to undo.

I just added myself to the spreadsheet. I have a record of my weight, so I was able to fill in the first week weight, although that was my surgery day, so I just used the average between a couple days before and a couple days after. Im very excited about this because the only real goal I have already set is to be in Onederland by christmas! Then Ill go from there and set more goals to get to my final weight. woohoo Im so excited about this!

I still can't get into the spreadsheet without logging in first. Can someone fix it please.

Just got on to the spreadsheet. I'm doing the Labor Day Challenge too so it will be interesting to see a short term and then a longer term goal. I didn't do a ticker because it is so long...and I have two already...but I am with you!

I'm in! I'm doing the Labor Day challenge also, and it will be neat to have a long-term goal next to the shorter term.

I am figuring on 26 pounds, and that will put me within 15-20 pounds of my final goal. :thumbup:

I an also doing the Labor Day Challenge. I have myself down to lose 43lbsm but that will depend on how Labor Day goes.

Is it too late for me to join in? I would love to go for 40 pounds: stretch for me, but it would make me super happy! I am at 255, I would be at 215: wow!

Just found this today...I would also like to join!

Is it too late??

Nope, never too late to join! Just add yourself and your info to the spreadsheet. We just completed week one, and are on week two.

I just wanted to point out that I was banded on July 2nd so I did not get to accurately weight myself for week one and so my weight loss for week two is actually the culmination of two weeks, one week of pre-op diet and one week post op.

Count me in for 50! I'll get my tickers working today :-)

Wow welcome to all the new people who have decided to join in! When I was first banded I did join in the weight loss challenges and I did find them very motivating. :thumbup:

I'm so glad to be back and getting my wojo back. I feel so excited and so ready to knock this outta the ballpark. Though I did not post a loss last week, I am super confident that I can bump myself back up into losing a few pounds this week.

I am going to meet and even exceed my Christmas goal this year!!

Checking in, down another pound!

Hi

I just found out about this, so I went ahead and put my name on the google spreadsheet. This is fun for me, I need this push. Now has anyone thought of make a spreadsheet with the exercise that they do? If you have can you post the link or email it to dslouha@verizon.net?

Thanks and good luck
