Labor Day Challenge

There are officially 55 days left of summer... 7 weeks and 5 days until Labor Day... How much weight will "fall" off you before we fall into Autumn?

Pre Surgery Weight: 264lbs

DOS Weight (12.12.2012): 254lbs

Weight Today (07.09.2013): 181.8lbs

Goal Weight for Labor Day: 170lbs

By September 2nd I want to lose 11.8lbs.... I am hoping I am able to do this... Initially I wanted to challenge myself to be at 165lbs by my birthday which is Sept 5th... But I don't think I will make that and my birthday isn't really a national Holiday that everyone here can join me in the countdown till, so I figured we could do this Labor Day Challenge and cheer each other on!

Goal Weight for Labor Day: 170lbs... Total weight lost: -7.8lbs... Pounds left to go: 4lbs!! I am down 1 pound this week... I know that in the past I would have said I am ONLY down 1 pound this week and I would have been upset about it. But I am not upset with that 1 pound! That's 1 pound down... I will take it... Weight loss to be at about 1 pound a week is awesome! I am getting close to my goal weight and I am expecting weight to come off ALOT more slowly now.

Goal for Labor Day is 199. It's also 3 days after my birthday and that was my original mini-goal date to get under 200. So that'll be 24 pounds!

Stall here too. Been bouncing between 176 and 174.

Boo.... But I'm keeping faith that this stall will break sooner rather then later.
