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...

Do you think this is possible? I never dreamed that I could be in onederland this early. I just had my sleeve this week but I rocked my pre-op diet and lost 40 lbs, so I'm thinking that 23 pounds in over a month is possible this early out, but at the same time it seems a bit much. Well, anyways. I'm going to leave it and if I don't make I'll stick to my original goal of being in onederland by my birthday in February

I think it's definitely possible. I lost over 20lbs my first month with the sleeve, and I started at the same weight you are now.

Another slow week. I had to travel for work and was in all day meetings where they catered food non-stop. I have to admit I ate some things I shouldn't have and the days were so long I wasn't able to get in any exercise. They had cookies, donuts, pastries, oh my god!!! I kind of feel lucky I didn't gain any weight.

Love those nice round numbers. huge NSV for me last night.....I fit into the "goal jeans" I bought more than a year ago! Size 8's!! Now I know all about vanity sizing and yes, I know it probably isn't an 8 from years ago.....but I can now fit into 3 things with an 8 on the tag so I'm counting it! Lol! Either way, these jeans always looked SO tiny to me and they fit my sister who has always been "tiny" to me. So vanity sizing or not, they are exactly where I have always wanted to be. :)

I had a good week. I am down 4.4 pounds from last weeks weigh in for halloween challenge! Woop! I stayed 205 for about 6 days and then it finally started creeping down. Hooray for me! I am wearing my 16 jeans daily now with no discomfort! They are snug but not too tight. Its an awesome feeling to be wearing them again! Now for the 14's....

I think I will give this a try. I was sleeved Sept 20 th, I would like to loss 20 lbs by Halloween.

I hope this is possible. I haven't lost any weight since I got home. I hope once I move to mushes it will kick start.

Here is my update for the Halloween goal.

Almost there.

The day I joined this challenge I was at three weeks post-op and worried I might be facing a stall... I was right. I spent two weeks at the same weight. Finally, the scale has started to move again and I'm down 3 lbs. I still feel like I can reach my Halloween goal of 165.

The best NSV yet was buying a size 12 pair of jeans yesterday. I wanted to announce it from the roof tops but I settled for just calling my honey ( who has no clue about woman's sizes) and then calling my daughter who could comprehend the gravity of this event. LOL

Having pretty standard losses--nothing for a week, then a pound a day for a few days. I lose in stair-steps. I really, really want to get to my Halloween goal, since at that point I will be 20 pounds from my overall goal AND I'll finally be smaller than my husband (he keeps losing just ahead of me--turkey!--only kidding, I love him dearly).

Good luck everyone!!

ooh ooh ooh....getting there!! Bit by bit!
