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.

Hey Patti,

I am feeling your pain...I feel the same... since the 29th Jan I've only lost 3lb... it is getting me down too! =[

OHHHH same here and then this morning my scale was up 1 lb. I seriously don't know what I am going to do. I am getting discouraged.

I've mostly been stalling lately, too! It's such a bummer, but I'm guessing it's something everyone goes through :-(

this was my original stats...

managed to put on 2lb this week... NOT HAPPY!!

what am I doing wrong... someone please shed a little light!

I am geting my protein in first, drinking my water and taking my vits... I am working out 4 times a week and I have upped my intensity! I have increased my cals a little and nothing! I did up my carbs for a couple of days to shake things up a little, but they were good carbs no junk!

Honestly, I could cry... I really hope this isn't the end of the road for me, I was hoping to lose at least another 28lb, if not more! Have I set my sights too high?

I have had some bloods done re my monthly and I am going to the doc to discuss them this week ... but others seem to lose with hormone probs, so why not me? Does that sound like self pity? Perhaps it is? Or just pathetic?

Since the 29lb of Jan I have lost 3lb and now put 2lb of that back on... frustrated doesn't come near how I am feeling.

I am trying to stay positive and look at the good work that I have done, how I am healthier and fitter.... but it is getting harder and harder to stay positive and focused!

Sorry to sound so negative ...

So, I've been having a couple pretty awful days food-wise. Trying to snap out of it, but it's slow going. Gotta stop letting crap get me down. Surgery is in 8 days, I fly out a week from today.

Hey everyone!

I've noticed a lot of us are stalling right now. PLEASE don't let that be reason to get down on yourselves. It IS going to happen to the best of us here and there. Stay strong and most of all stay focused!!! We've got this!

Just so you all know I went on a nearly 3 weeks stall. This is the second time this has happened to me. I seem to go through a warp speed period with weight loss then the scale will maintain for a few weeks. I just have to keep my chin up and believe in the program!! If I don't believe in me that I can do it with my sleeve, then how can anyone else believe in me?

Stay strong folks! I've even only lost .6 Lbs since my last post but ya know what? That's .6 Lbs gone forever!!! Blessed be!!

Also, keep in mind Easter is on APRIL 24th!! We all still have 6 weeks to hit our goals, and that translates to 42 entire days.

Increase your calorie intake for a couple of weeks. Then go back to normal. Keep your exercise level about the same.
