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!

    I was beginning to think that I wasn't going to make my goal (a week ago my weight had gone up a little and I didn't think there was any way I would may my 225 goal) BUT this morning I was at 223!!!

Stall here too. Been bouncing between 176 and 174.

151.2- 2.2lbs lost.

6.2lbs to go before Labor Day- fingers crossed!

I have been gaining and losing the same 3 pounds all week. Its so frustrating. :(

I have 13 more pounds to lose and I truly think I am not going to make it.

I might go back to the liquid diet to see if that breaks my stall.

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
