My official goal (1st post) was 220

My unofficial goal was 207

Today's weigh-in 1/1/13 - 209.5 :)

Made unofficial +another 10.5 - YAA! (Missed unofficial goal by a stickin' 2.5 lbs. - my goal for next week!) So excited to be in onderland in 2013! I haven't visited that realm since my daughters were toddlers. Once I hit 207, my next lowest weight is 178 and that will be my next 3 month challenge - April 1st (April Fool's Day!) See new challange posted! :rolleyes: Congratulations to all my fellow sleevers who have worked so hard to get to where you are going! Best of luck and good health to everyone in 2013!

I am so excited!!!! I got on the scale this morning and I weighed 217.4 lbs!!! My goal was 217 even' date=' but who cares 4 ounces...... Today is a workout day for me, so that should be easy to get rid of.

So I weighed myself this morning and .......... 216.6!!!!!!! Yay!!!!! Made my goal!!! Congratulations to us all!!!

My stats...

Heaviest weight (Oct 2012): 288

Surgery Date October 16' date=' 2012

Weight on day of surgery: 283

Current weight: 273.2

Halloween goal: 268

Thanksgiving goal: 250

New Years goal: 235[/quote']

246 today!!!

Didn't make goal but down 28 since challenge and 42 since Oct. 16 Surgery!!

I've been in a stall for about a week.

I am loving the sleeve!! Best decision I made in 2012...hell in years!!

Starting weight: 243

Surgery weight: 228 (Sept 21, 2012)

New Years Goal: 190

Todays weight: 191

Missed it by a pound but THRILLED at my progress, as we all should be.

How awesome is it for all of us today? How many of us have had a New Year resolution to lose weight in the past? Now we KNOW we will lose it! How liberating!! All these diet commercials and finally, FINALLY, this year I KNOW I will lose weight!! This is an unexpected NSV. Starting the new year knowing the weight will come off. I just want to congratulate all of you for making this amazing decision to transform your life!! Happy New Year!!

Weighed in today at 199. I have been fluctuating 2-3 lbs for the last two weeks. I have been making poor food choices, but those ended yesterday. I did not meet my goal, missed it by 7 pounds. I will track and I will not snack. I plan on rocking my sleeve in 2013, it will be my year of uncharted territory- I plan on seeing lower numbers on the scale and in clothing sizes then I have ever seen before. I plan on feeling better, moving more and truly living this year!

I'm having a facelift tomorrow' date=' a tummy tuck and thigh lift in Feb, and then in May will have a breast lift/augmentation. It sounds like a whole lotta surgery at this point, but I have a whole lotta loose skin. I'm not the usual age for a facelift I wouldn't think (37), but I used to hold a lot of weight in my face and without all that fat in there I have just baggy saggy skin. If I couldn't have any of the surgeries I would still love my body now far more than before I lost the weight - but this just completes the package for me.[/quote']

That's awesome that you're able to do that! Good luck on the New you!

Today's weight 194 :)

4 pounds till New Years Goal!

Did not weigh yesterday:)

Today's weight 189.6 Yay Goal!

Unfortunately, due to a stall, I missed my New Years goal by 3 pounds....on a happier note, I'm down 49 pounds in 4 months (I'll take it!)

Ok so didn't make goal but 264...not bad...not bad at all...

304 ponds 11-1-12

264 pounds 1-1-13

Missed it by 1.4 but that's okay during this challenge (thanksgiving day to today) I lost 13.6!! Any other holiday season I would have gained that!!!

on to my valentines day challenge (Come join me!!)

Well, I was 283 when I weighed last week. I've lost 17lbs since day of surgery on 12-12. I was disappointed at first, but I am still very happy I dropped those pounds. I've also dropped about 2-3 dress sizes. Congrats to you all. Let's do a Valentine's Day Challenge. What do you say?

Yes let's do a Valentines Days Challange... I'm going to start the thread now.... :)
