Labor Day is September 3rd so we have 8 weeks and 4 days in this challenge. How much do you want to lose?

1. Make it to the 170's

2. Lose 15.4 lbs

3. Log food every day into MFP

4. Exercise 4-5 a week

5. Make it to week 10 on Couch to 5 K

Three weeks post op

Challenge weight: 203.4

Last week's weight: 199.4

Today's weight: 192.8 (down 6.6 pounds)

Goal weight: 180 (down 10.6, 12.8 to go)

Starting to each purees and I'm shocked by how little I can eat! But I love having tuna, scrambled eggs, yogurt, and refried beans. Yum! This beats a liquid diet any day. To get off the rest, more liquids, more protein, and stick to the exercise.

Doing well on tasks but need more fluids and protein to really meet this goal.

My original stats....

Starting Wt ... 254

Current Wt ... 213

Labor Day Goal ... 193

As of today, I am 204....down 50 pounds since sleeve date of 4/30, and down 9 pounds since the challenge began. 11 pounds to go for this challenge. A little setback when I sprained my right foot on Saturday at Zumba :( but I can drink lots of water, get in 70+ grams of protein and head for the pool!

I am so with my sleeve date buddy 15Kgold! Last Friday I had my 3 month checkup with my surgeon. I was 206 on my home scale and 211 at the doctor's office. This morning I 204 at home (I guess I'd be 209 a few zip codes over!) it's a loss and I'll take it...

I agree we know how the loss goes lol

Getting in my water! Less Crystal Light in comparison to Water. Struggling the last few days on getting the Protein in; mostly because I have had to force a 3rd meal on myself. Have been letting in some cheats, which I need to control MUCH better!

Love seeing everyone's success!

I'm so emotional about my weight loss. I saw a pic of me and cried in PUBLIC! I look soooo small! It's a good thing but I was overwhelmed! I'm in a size 14 I haven't worn a 14 since high school and even then I was considered big.

I want to lose 50 more to reach my goal of 170. My surgeon isn't happy with with my lost. He feels I'm 20 pounds behind where I should be. But his nurse is always encouraging & positive. She's had weight loss surgery and understands.

I'm emotional & excited! Happy losing everyone!

Be excited! I think I'm 20 lbs behind where I should be but I'm starting not to care about the numbers. Im still losing weight and feeling better each day. You look great! Congrats and enjoy that feeling!
