Yea u! Only 6 more to go! It will be my first time under200 in almost 10 yrs. and I haven't been much under it in well over 20. So looking forward to this second half of my journey and will try to be patient thru the stalls as they come. We can do this!!

I can't wait to hear that you reached your goal. .

On 9/19 I was 194 and my goal is 184. Today I weighed 185!!!! Maybe I set it too low but it feels great to be this close already.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow to share my GREAT news! I started the Halloween challenge at 199lbs, my goal was 186.....as of today I am 186.2!! Yay:)

I started this challenge at 151 3 weeks ago. Today I weighed in at 147! That's a 2 pound lost! My original goal was 140 by the end of this challenge and I realized that wasn't going to happen and changed it to 145 last week. I know that I can get there.

HW 218

SW 185

GW 125-135

Giving mine today. Had my three month post-op today and weigh 188.5. Wanted to be 180 by Halloween, but had a stall for two weeks. Down 61 from start though, so still happy.

Missed my old stomach yesterday!!

Now don't get me wrong I adore my sleeve and what its done for me

But the realization that evey meal I have to think so much about stings!

I know I should have been doing this all my life but let's face it I didn't and

learning this hard lesson stings! I hope this gets easier.

Morning all! 233.4 today, so down 2.8.

Hit my goal last week so new goal is going to be to get out of the 230s, even if that means 229.9!

Have a great day everyone!

207 today!

Down 1 lb this week. Don't think I will make my goal next week, but at least I am down 10 lbs so far. Total in the journey 82.

Lost 2.6 lbs this week!

Last week 210.4

This week 207.8

Height: 5' 4'' HW: 256 SW: 227 CW: 208.8

232.6 :(

Up 2 lbs :(

Know it's due to being TOM but still not happy with an increase!!

Yeah! Beat my Halloween goal today! I'm going to just let it ride (not reset my goal) and see what happens next week. That will be the end of this challenge and the beginning of the Thanksgiving Challenge. This is really so much fun working together and celebrating each other's victories.

Some stats for your consideration:

  • Together, all that have participated in the Halloween Challenge have lost a total of 511 lbs. How awesome is that!
  • 7 people have beat their Halloween goal already (2 not showing on the charts since they reset their goal to a higher amount).
  • 4 people have lost more than 20 lbs in the challenge so far.
  • 27 people are at least 60% to their goal.
  • Our cumulative group loss averages per week are nothing less than amazing: 1.7 (1), 2.2 (2), 1.9 (3), 2.2 (4), 3.3 (5), 2.2 (6, so far)

Don't forget to log in to the Thanksgiving Challenge at the same time you log in your final challenge numbers here next week. "Happy Holidays" indeed!
