Congrats

I'm in. Surgery 9/12 220 lbs

197 current

177 Thanksgiving 20 lbs down

9.6 lbs to meet my goal for Thanksgiving. Oh, the pressure. Lol

My first challenge! Will be released to the gym on Sunday so hoping it will help!

Starting weight: 239

Surgery date: 9/19 @ 224

Current weight: 200

Goal weight: 190

Currently at 196 so only four lb loss since I joined the challenge on Oct. 30th. Thxgiving goal is 190. Weight loss a bit slow.

Im very late on this challenge!

Surgery weight- 274 (7/17/12)

Current weight 208

Goal weight- 200

Will start hitting the gym hard and drinking lots of water!

I set a fairly ambitious goal of 11 lbs. To meet my challenge I need to lose 6 lbs from now till Thanksgiving, which is 9 days. I may pull off 3, but 9 is not looking possible. A stall didn't help things.

But no matter what, I've lost, which is a win.

Weight before surgery:239

Date and weight of surgery : 8/7/12 231

Current weight:178

Goal weight: 175

I'm in.

Initial weight pre- surgery 255. Surgery 5/10/12.

CW 170.2

GW 157

I have no idea what rate I will lose weight as I get closer to goal - this may be far too ambitious. But I'm going to go for it!

CW 160.7

GW 157

I am doing my best - not 100% sure I will make it.

Update....11/14

Surgery day (7/17) wt = 267.6

Goal Wt = 210

10/20 = 224.2

10/27 = 222.4 (finally broke my stall)

11/7 = 217.8

11/14 = 214.7

Only 4.7 pounds to go!!!! Not sure if I'll make it with only a week away but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Pre-op 260

Challenge start 188

Thanksgiving goal 180

Here goes nothing. I've been all over the place and not following the plan. Mentally I need this challenge to get back on track. Protein first and maybe only for a while and fluids!!! Good luck everyone.

185 today

How's everyone doing! I figure our final weigh in can be Turkey day Morning! What do you think?

Pre-surgery Wt: 235.8

Surgery 7/9/12

Weight at Surgery: 208.5

11/1: 166.4 (bouncing around this week)

11/8: 161.2

11/15: 161.4

Challenge Goal: 155

Big loss then hit a wicked stall. But I'm dedicated to the Water, upping the Protein, and maintaining the exercise. I have my 4-month check in today so I'll be looking for some guidance there. I'll get at least close to my goal so I'm headed to the Christmas Challenge to set one there.

Best of luck to all this final week. Gobble gobble!
