Ok my November Sleevers...we are gonna shake things up a bit. We have 3, count them 3 big holidays coming up and ending with the start of 2013. Now some of us are getting sleeved at the beginning of November while others are more towards the end of the month. Regardless of when we get it done, the point is we are. So that being said...here's my challenge for the November Sleevers, well 3 challenges really.

Is this challenge just for November sleevers?

I posted this for the November Sleevers so that we can keep in contact with each other and stay motivated. But I post one in the post-op folder too.

I'm in.... nothing like a good competition to get myself motivated

Exactly!

I'm so in!!! This is a great idea I love it & I'm so looking forward to getting to know everyone ))

Ok my November Sleevers!! I know there are a few challenges out there already, but I thought it would be nice to have one rocking for those of us that had our sleeves done in November. This way we track with people on a closer timeline with our own. Feel free to use it or not. Totally up to you. Hugs to you my November Sleeve family. Happy holidays and happy losing!!

Tally I am definitely in! Should we set up the criteria for the areas we should be measuring so we are all measuring the same areas? This will lead to less discrepancies...thoughts? Otherwise, I will post my stats shortly...

That sounds like a plan. I was gonna measure my upper arms, bust, waist, hips and thighs.

Ok...I haven't measured as yet, but wanted to post my stats nonetheless:

Surgery Date: 11/19/2012

Starting Weight Preop: 256

Weight on date of surgery: 240

Current Weight: 233.4

Goal Weight by January 1: 220

Goal Weight: 165

I'm at a stall already...no scale movement since 11/26/2012. My NSV is that I fit comfortably in a size 18! I honestly don't ever remember wearing size 18! I'm pleased so far! Best decision I ever made! Hope all of you are doing well!

My jeans were baggy already. And I was cleaning out my jewelry box and found my old engagement ring and wedding band (divorced now). I put them on and they're loose. They slipped right off my fingers. And they fit on my middle finger now. How's that for irony. Hahahaha!! But I love seeing results like that. Cannot wait to get cleared for strength training.
