For those who have met their goal for Labor Day already, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! If you'd like a head start, I'm starting the new Challenge NOW. Good luck!!!

I will wait to begin on Labor Day though, in hopes to get a few pounds down by then. Today I weigh 186.2 - a combination of surgery weight and PMS... but I'll just have to work hard at getting this off. I'll have to do it without the help of working out too! I can't start to do anything seriously calorie burning until six weeks out... or really until my surgeon gives me the go ahead. So, I'll have to really watch what I'm eating!!! Not that I didn't already, but still.

All I can do physically right now is walking, and not even anything fast... just... walking... ugghhh!!! I feel a little lost right now, but I digress...

Well, it has been a bit of a slow start for me on this one. I stalled out at 177 and then went up and down between there and 179 since posting this. Today I am at 176.2 so I'm hoping the scales are finally moving again. as of right now, 11.2 to go before Halloween.

Hi all,

I lost .8 lbs. this week. It's the second time since surgery that I have had such a small loss in a week. First time was the notorious 3 week stall. I lost .5 that week I think. Last week I lost a lot (3.5), so maybe this week is just evening that out a bit. Still on track for my Halloween goal and still have lost every week since the surgery. I have 3.8 lbs. to go till I can join the 30 lbs. or less to lose group. I'm really looking forward to that!

I did my new exercise class on Monday and Wednesday this week. Next week we will be on vacation so eating will be a bit of a challenge. My plan is to have some vanilla Protein Powder in my Soy Latte for Breakfast (normally I have greek yogurt for breakfast), string cheese and Jerky or beef sticks for lunch, dense Protein at dinner and an unjury chicken protein at night. That will get me to 60 grams of protein a day and still under 800 calories. I will have a few more calories that usual at lunch and dinner because I won't have the same low cal options I have at home. This is my first vacation post-sleeve that doesn't involve going somewhere with a fridge. It will be good practice for my trip to Japan later this year.

Goal: 165

Lbs to Goal: 8

18 more to my surgeons goal, so close I can almost touch it! I'm hoping to get there by January and then my personal goal of 140-145 by April 27, my 1 year anniversary. My all time highest weight has been 280+, that would mean that from highest to goal 140+ lbs. Sometimes it just blows my freaking mind. I'm in a size 10, and I see glimpses of me as skinny! My brain is actually starting to catch up. One thing I realized and do not do anymore is wearing clothes that are too tight, or even a little bit tight. I did that a couple of weeks ago and the whole day I was misreble, because it made me feel fat and I never ever want to feel that way ever again.

I'm changing my goal weight from 180 to 185, so my goal will be 15 lbs lost. I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. My weight loss has slowed (still lingering from that dreaded 3 week stall), but I of course will be thrilled to reach 180 lbs . I haven't been in the 180's in 4 years, and I'd be sooo happy regardless.

So, here's my modified Halloween goal...
