Holiday Weight Loss Challenge!

  • Popular Post

It's time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Monday, November 9. 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, November 9. All weigh ins will take place on Monday, except the last weigh in which will take place on Thursday, December 31. This will allow for a total of 9 weigh ins in all. The link for the spreadsheet is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G-y1PnlatezrCT86tXJcMkJnMMoQzCIenH9JqMoCXL0/edit?usp=sharing


A Few Reminders

  • You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post.
  • 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 problem! Just report back in the next week.
  • If you change your screen name, please let me know your old name and new name.

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 spreadsheet.

*****I will be on vacation the week of December 5-12, so the updated spreadsheet for Monday, December 7 will be delayed.*****

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!!!

I forgot to post yesterday!

Still at 184.0, time to kick it in to high gear!

Do you have a goal weight? Thanks!

Oops, finally got there. Android sure doesn't seem to like this topic, though. Crashes my tablet. When I did get to the spreadsheet, the version I see has a lot of people losing 100, 200 pounds in one week. I'm assuming this is Android punking me?

I'm sorry, I do not know. I typically do not view the Google doc on my phone, and I have an iPhone. Hopefully someone else answered your question!

Ok so I haven't weighed myself since after Halloween. I had lost 13 lbs in 2 months. I got off my diet when I got really sick and was in the hospital for kidney failure. Was told not to drink Protein shakes for a while.

So here goes.

.............................

296.

I'm back at my starting weight from September.

My heart sank. My stomach feels like it's going to fall out of my butt.

I'm a failure.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope you're feeling better. Hugs to you. I know you can do this!!!

Hi! Are you new to the challenge? If so, what is your goal weight for 12/31? If not, did you change your screen name? Thanks!

I stayed the same this week.

Don't forget I'll be at Disney next week, and won't be updating the spreadsheet until much later/the Monday after.

Also, I'm looking for someone to take over the challenges at the end of this one. I've got a lot of (great) things going on, and I don't feel that I can update the spreadsheet in a timely enough manner anymore.

Sorry for the delay.... 170 this week. Thank you!
