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...

Hi all,

OMG - I am .1 lb away from GOAL. The day I am at 150, I am declaring GOAL if it is a Friday or not!! I've been pretty good this week. A little snacking, but I brought it way back under control and I've been walking a couple extra days. I did miss one workout on Monday.

Dont you mean 135? I think its a little late to be declaring 150 as your goal! LOL. I would consider myself there. Just get on the scale and breathe out! Tada! You are at goal, my friend! Congrats!

Ditto to what ForensicChick said! :-) You ARE at goal! Way to go!!!

Lynda, Congrats at making goal! I hope I can do it! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

Well, just thought I would pop in briefly. It seems my blood clot is well under control now. Still going to have to take Cumadin for another 2 or 3 months I guess, but the swelling is nearly gone and I'm back into my routine. I leave next Friday for Europe and while I will taste things in moderation over there, I am going to allow myself to enjoy their food without obsessing about my goal while I'm on vacation. I know my sleeve will keep me in check and will try to get in what exercise while I can.

Here are my current stats. We will see where I'm at when I return which will be after this challenge is finished.

Surgery Weight: 271

Easter Challenge Start Weight: 148

Current weight: 136

Easter Goal Weight: 125 - also my final goal weight

Perfect attitude for your vacation - the sleeve will keep you in check and you should be enjoying all that Europe has to offer (including the amazing food)! So glad your blood clot is under control. You'll be doing so much walking that you'll have tons of incidental exercise. Have fun!!!

Thanks Sara! Considering I gained 9# with the blood clot practically overnight, I'm just thrilled to be in the 130's. I haven't seen that number EVER as an adult. I think being at this weight is going to make such a long flight so much more comfortable and I won't have to worry about crowding someone else in their seat. :-)

I started the challenge a little late and it took 20 days to lose 9 pounds. There is only - what, 18 days left? Who knows? I might make it. If I do, I will be just past my halfway to goal mark. I've already hit Onederland and first 50 pounds lost on this challenge.

Hooray!!!
