Woo! Hoo! My body held on to the 200 lb mark for a few weeks so don't get discouraged if it happens to you too. You will get there' date=' just keep at it.[/quote']

It's time for my next stall anyways lol. Almost at 3 months. Went through a 3 1/2 week stall during the fourth challenge. Thanks for the encouragement. We got this :-)

My 35th birthday is on Labor Day. So I guess mine will be a birthday challenge too. I would love, love, love to make it to onederland, but my weight loss has greatly slowed down. I guess I will say 20# and if I can get more than that, it will be great.

I hope this is my last challenge of the losing phase of my sleeve. I am 10 pounds away from my goal weight. I only lost 2.5 pounds the last challenge but it was only 5 weeks long and I stalled for 4 of it. Since I have 8 weeks+ in this one, I will go for my goal weight 135. I want to be there by my surgiversary but sadly, I have stalled too much to make that goal a reality. I want to get there by Labor day and if I do, it will be the first challenge I will achieve. I have been in each one, starting with Halloween last year and have yet to actually achieve one!!! I will make this last one! I will!!!!!!

I've been at 202 for a few Weeks and it is so frustrating. I can't wait to hit the 100s.

I thought it was just me! I have been hovering around this 209/208 for a while now and am getting really irritated!

I would get to 202, then back up to 204, then down to 201, back up to 203, then down and up. It's the only time my weight has done this so far was the 200 mark. My body was just fighting to stay around there. I guess it was used to being over 200 for so long that it didn't want to let go, but eventually it did. Thank goodness!

We've got a lot of newbies, people close to their goal and those about to cross into Onederland. Let's all be sure to cheer each other on during this challenge and not just on weigh in days. Speaking of weigh in days, how about each Monday since Labor Day is on a Monday?

Good luck to all, I cannot wait to Celebrate your success!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
