Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in on Friday September 5th. From there on after, weigh ins will take place Fridays. Last weigh in will be Friday October 31st. This will allow a total of 9 weigh ins in all. I will post the link for the spreadsheet once its the week of. Few reminders. -Weights will be entered in whole numbers. -please post weigh ins here in this post only. -we are all here to support each other..so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help. -if you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post. -if you miss a weigh in...no biggie. Just report back in the next week. -this is an amazing tool to help us all! Make it fun, challenge yourself, and cheer on the rest of the pack! -I'm no excel expert. I can do only the basics. So this isn't a fancy spreadsheet by any means. But I will keep it up to date and do my best to report the onderlands and other big crossings as I am able to. I do have young kids and I also work too. So some weeks i'm not able to update until a few days after report in day. It will be done. Lastly, you will know it is updated once I have liked your post. Have fun with this! Challenge yourself in new ways! Join us for the halloween challenge!

I have not had surgery nor even been to my consultation yet, but know I will need to be losing prior so count me in.

Why don't you pick a reasonable goal of 1-2 lbs/ week and anything above that will be icing on the cake. This early out from your surgery you will more than likely lose quicker because your eating liquids or full liquids... I'm now about seven weeks out and I know I did, but I did have the dreaded 3rd week stall and it lasted just about 2 weeks!!! It's insane that you can be eating so little (500-800 cal/ day) and not lose weight. Anyway one day 2wks after it started I dropped like 7 lbs in one day. Just be patient when it happens( if it happens) because you are not doing anything wrong it's just one of those things. Good luck!! I guess my point of this post is be reasonable when setting your goal and don't set yourself up for failure and as a result discouraging yourself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to me. I know the limited food consumption is gonna be something to get use to. I appreciate your encouragement. I will make realistic goals for myself. I will do my personal weigh in and my subtraction

I'm in yes

Thank you for doing this challenge! The last one was a great way to stay motivated! I'm in. My last weigh in was 189. My new goal is 178, by Halloween . Thanks again! Good luck to all of us.
