Labor Day Challenge!

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Monday, July 13. If you want to post your name and goal weight sooner, that's fine, but it might not get added to the spreadsheet until Monday, July 13. All weigh ins will take place on Monday. The last weigh in will be Monday, September 7. This will allow a total of 9 weigh ins in all. The link for the spreadsheet is posted below.

A Few Reminders

  1. You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post.
  2. Please post weigh ins here in this post only.
  3. We are all here to support each other, so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help.
  4. If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post.
  5. If you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just report back in the next week.

If you miss three or more weigh ins, I will assume that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name WILL BE REMOVED from the spread sheet.

This challenge is for anyone! If you didn't have surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or even if you're in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

Hi. Sorry this is my first challenge so do I addy weight every week or do I post it here and you add it to the spread sheet

Hi! You'll post it in a comment each week to the Halloween thread. I update the spreadsheet weekly for you =)

FINAL = 211

Thank you so much for doing this!!

Did you change your name? If so, what was it before?

Thanks!

SORRY -- changed from deetz71

my final weight is 180 - sorry i missed monday - i've been out sick!

I was 151.4 this morning!

The last day to add weights to this challenge will be on Saturday. I will update, and let everyone know how awesome our stats are on Sunday!

I should have waited to weigh in! My weight this morning was 199.8!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! I just had to tell someone since when we start the next challenge I'll already be in onderland! :) thanks so much for doing these.

i seriously only lost about .6 lbs...so it looks like im going to have to build more muscle...and eat next to no fat or sugar...because...my body is fighting me!

I have been out of town for the last few weeks so I haven't checked in like I normally do. I have stayed the same at 150 nothing exciting at least I didn't gain!

200.3 Sorry for the delayed post, and thank you so much for doing this!! :D

I ended at 219.4 but my final weigh-in shows 221.

As a group, we lost 1163.8!!!!!!!! That's so so so crazy. You guys are awesome!!!!!!

@@Remix lost the biggest % of weight, losing 14.84%!

We had 11 people lose over 10% of their weight.

101 people finished this challenge, which I think is the highest ever!

Great job all!

This challenge is now closed.

Sadly on the 7th September I had made no change and stayed at 250. :angry:

But I did lose 7 pounds over all, so Yay!!!!!

However I joined Slimming World to help me refocus and to support my daughter who wants to lose some extra pounds. I lost 3.5 pounds in the week leading up to my period which is when I normally put on a few!

Well, that staggered me! But now I realise that even with a sleeve, I was slipping into habits that will work against the purpose of having surgery in the first place. I still have a long way to go on this journey so I need all the tools I can use to help me succeed.

I look forward to the next challenge and a HUGE THANK YOU, STEPH: you are amazing for setting this up, keeping track of us all and helping us achieive our weight loss aims.

Well done everyone!
