Okay guys, Its challenge time again. Who is with me? Memorial Day is about 7 weeks away and I am going to start this challenge off right with a doable goal of 10 pounds. I am 8 months out today and I know my losses will be continuing to slow. I used to set my goals at 20 pounds, then 15, then 13 and now 10. I want to be realistic and I am only 20 pounds from goal so I think 10 pounds is a good realistic goal for me. How about you? What will be your goal for the next seven weeks?

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 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.

It worked. Thank you!

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 only have 15 lbs. to go to my goal, and I know I can do it by Memorial Day! YAY!
