Okay peeps, we talked about it on the Valentines Day thread so I thought I would officially start the Easter challenge. Its approximately 7 weeks away so keep that in mind when you set your goals. The further I have gotten the smaller my goals so I dont get discouraged. The first 2 were 20 pounds each, the Valentines one was 15 so this one I am going to set at 13. I haven't made a goal yet but I only fall a few pounds short. Anyways, here are my stats for this one...

SN: Forensikchic SW: 166.8 GW: 154 CW: 166.8 lbs to lose 12.8

Everybody join in and lets motivate each other! We can do this!!!!

I am around 209 right now (before pre-op liquid diet I was 228). My goal from here is 99 lbs total weight loss. I am 5' 0" soooo a shorty!

Well, it's up to you. I'm sure you'll meet the goal if you set it high, but like you said you also don't want to push yourself. I think in the beginning your body is just doing whatever it wants because it's recovering from the shock of surgery. You will still lose a lot of weight, though.

Also, good luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery

I am in....starting a little late but I have 6.6 lbs to lose till I get to my goal, so I am going to shoot for 6.6 lbs....I started back working out so hopefully that will move things around.

Darn it - all week long I've been 145 and then this morning (on my weigh in day for this challenge) it's 146. Well, I'm using 145 and hopefully that pound was just a Fluid fluke this morning. If not, and it sticks around, I'll let you know next week.

Hi all,

Easter:

Lynda - that's fantastic! You're SO close, you tiny thing, you!

Today I weighed myself and I am at 155. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! How ever for my Easter challenge I put 150lbs. I'm alittle worried right now. But, Nevertheless: I am going to work my sleeve to loose at least 5 more lbs before Easter! The challenge is on...... ;)

Lynda - that's fantastic! You're SO close, you tiny thing, you!

Thank you! I know - so close! Can't wait to get there. I am going to declare goal as soon as I see it instead of waiting for my usual Friday weigh in.

^{I lost 1.3 this week. Its a loss and I will take it! I really hadnt realized that I had lost anything until I came to update this forum so yay for a pound! I am slowly inching my way there! I am hoping I lose more this coming week! We can do this!!!!!}

Yes we can!!!

Darn it - all week long I've been 145 and then this morning (on my weigh in day for this challenge) it's 146. Well, I'm using 145 and hopefully that pound was just a Fluid fluke this morning. If not, and it sticks around, I'll let you know next week.

Oops, was suppose to check in two days ago.

The extra pound stuck around part of the week and then I dropped down to 145 again so that means I didn't lose anything this week. Still 145. Hopefully, this next week will see the scale moving again.
