I've never participated in a challenge because I was worried about putting too much pressure on myself while newly sleeved. But I'm down this time - count me in!

Surgery Weight - 403

Current Weight - 332

July 4th Goal - 318 (14 lbs - YIKES!)

Losing 14 will put me at 85 lost before my 6 month surgiversary.

Good luck to all!! WE GOT THIS!!!

Okay, Im in! With ony 5 weeks to do this, I am going to be realistic. I am losing 4-5 pounds a month now so I will make my goal 5 pounds. I am now 146.9 (147) so I will go for 141.9 (142).

@jhansen71~ Anybody can start a challenge! I started the last three for the same reason! I am glad you took the initiative to start this one! We are all family here and excited to get going on another challenge! PS. ask strongerdiva to pin it for us and she will. That way it wont get lost in the treads!

I found it jhansen,thanks!

I'm in! I'm currently at 178. I hope to lose at a rate of about 2 pounds per week so I'll shoot for a 10 pound weight loss.

GOAL WEIGHT 168

I'm right on track. 2pound loss puts me at 176. 8 more to go!

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today, down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.

Count me in. Today wt is 224 so I am aiming for onderland. I know that might seem a little aggressive but I am only 5 days out and can't start musshies until day 22. Already down 20 lbs from pre op and I have not started to exercise yet.
