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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
