Good morning everyone, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL for the last challenge!!! Most made their goal and passed it and many others like myself made it very close... WE ARE ROCKING OUR SLEEVES FOR SURE!!!

So, here's the new challenge folks, what will you weigh on Easter Sunday?? That is on April 24th - 10 weeks from yesterday, and 70 days from today.

Everyone's welcome to join in, even if you are just trying to maintain your weight loss. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! But with the sleeve, who needs luck??

Me personally am going to go aggressive this time. I really need to work hard to get as light as possible in preparation for my 5k run on May 7th... whoottt!!!

Also, instead of carrying over EVERYONE else on the challenge, we will just be responsible for ourselves. I have started the "ticker" of sorts, I hope everyone will still use it so everyone can easily see everyone's progress.

I want to see the teens too! We are going to get there!!!

Ah, to heck with this, I'll join in! I've reached my original goal, but I wanna tighten up my inner thighs and butt a bit more. I'm fluctuating between 142 and 143 the last 2 days, so I'm gonna put down 143 to be generous.

Also, put the SNs together, at least from the last page

Dropped another .3 of a kg this morning - small, but I'll take it......

This pre-op shake week is working (Day 2 and I'd kill for a plate of eggs, tomatoes and chips right now)

I have been sleeved for 3 weeks today so I am going to be pretty aggressive with my goal setting. I was just thinking this morning that I needed to set some smaller, specific goals for myself rather than one big one so this is a great way to keep me focused.

I have hit numerous stalls :ballchain: almost every other week here lately, so I am trying to be realistic. I have just joined a gym and trying to up my calories but that is very hard to do. I have a meeting with the nutritionist in a week-the same day as my 3 month surgical followup. My first challenge!

Good luck to you all! :cheer2:

LOL Coops when I read that first part I thought I was having deja vu until you mentioned you copied and pasted that!!! I know the stalls are the worst. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong - but then I'll drop and drop big. Our bodies are ever crazy wonders... I wish I had advice, only that just keep doing what you are doing. If you feel like you can push yourself more on your workouts, try that. Maybe also try bumping up your Protein or calories for a few days too. Good luck! We have awhile to work on this, so who knows you will get some good drops in there for sure.

No worries!!

I was sleeved on Jan 17th so I will be a little over 3 months from my surgery so my goal is to lose an average of 20 pounds a month. I am going to start my training next week for a 10K at the end of April and a Half Marathon at the beginning October so I am hoping that running 3 days a week will help to keep my weight loss steady.

Hey Diva, thanks... I need all the luck I can at the moment... I have started to shake things up a little... I think my cals were too low, so I am having a few days of eating, pretty much what I want, then back to the protein and low carb and see if that helps... we are on half term here, so no work (work to do at home in the form of marking though!) so I am away from my usual gym! Gotta try and find the motivation to do something at home!! xx
