When you update your ticker, scroll down to the bottom and it will say "create another ticker". Click on that and it will let you make another one. Copy that code and paste it below your original ticker, then hit the save button. It should update and have the two different ones then.

I'm in too! I am one month out and my starting weight 243.6, current weight 216.6, challenge goal 20lbs or 196.6 and ultimate goal 150lbs. Is 20lbs in 7 weeks realistic at only 1 month post op? I hit a two week stall already at 9 days post op. Fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!

When I started doing these challenges, I started with 20 pound goals. My first was a halloween goal and I lost 18. Then it was Christmas, set it for 20, lost about 18, then Valentines day, set it for 15 and lost 13, then Easter, set it for 13, lost 12, Now I am setting it for 10+ and I dont know where I will land, probably 8 or 9. All these challenges have been roughly 7 weeks long. I hope to make one eventually! It gives me a real challenge and pushes me to do my best.

I want to say to all my peeps that you dont really know if you will have a stall so set it for 20 or so pounds if you are early out and then if you exceed that before the challenge is over, set it again for a few more pounds! If you have a stall and dont quite make it, like me, thats ok too because you can at least get close and you will be closer to your goal than you were to begin with! We are all winners here and we can only do our best and the rest will follow. Good luck everyone!

I decided to go for 11 pounds instead of 10. I want to have lost 90 pounds by Memorial day and its just one more pound. I think I can do it.

I'm not sure when we are supposed to weigh. I joined the Super Saturday weigh-in thread so I weigh on Saturdays now. I started my Memorial Day challenge at 216.6 (see above) and currently weigh 212. I have lost 4.6lbs and have a little more than 15 to lose by Memorial Day. Woo! Hoo!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
