Welcome to the Valentines Day weight loss challenge! Im Sarah (vsgSarah3) I have taken over the weight loss challenges form Stephh so she can focus on her new coming addition!

Please be patient with me as I work full time and have 3 kids to care for. I will do my best to update every Monday, Tuesday at the latest. This is my first time hosting so please be kind!

I think its best to keep the same basic rules Stephh had going so he goes.

The challenge will run from Monday Jan. 4th through Feb. 15th. This will give a total of 7 weigh in's. Please add your starting and goal weight on Jan. 4th and your last weight on Feb. 15th. I will also update the spreadsheet on Mondays.

The link for the spreadsheet is:

Rules and Reminders:

1. You will know the spreadsheet is updated once I have liked your post

2. Post weigh ins here, in this post only.

3. We are all here to support each other, so if you have questions posted here they will be answered by anyone else willing to help.

4. If you want to adjust your goal weight please add it to your reply in this post.

5. If you miss a weigh in, no problem! Just post it with your next weeks weigh in.

6. If your screen name changes please let me know your old and new name.

7. If you miss 3 or more weigh ins I will assume you no longer want to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet.

This challenge is for anyone! If you have not had your surgery yet, if you just had surgery, or if you are just in maintenance and need to have some accountability, this challenge is for you!!!

Good morning

I was checking the sheet and it says my weight on 1/11 was 207.8

This is a mistake..my original post said my weight was 198.2

Do you think this could be corrected?

MANY THANKS!

OOPS! I should've read your post above first! Sorry !

Today's weight 209.0

Gw 204.9

That's Sarah!

Hello all! Please check the spreadsheet and let me know if your numbers are NOT correct. Please private msg me if they need to be fixed.

After talking to Stephh I think it's all worked out. The app I have for my phone is showing different than my iPad and Stephhs desktop. I think it's just the app on my phone that's acting up??? Any how please just help me out by checking your numbers!!!! Thanks!

Can 242..... Thanks!

That is supposed to say cw ... Lol

Week 1 weigh in 143.1

Well 1Cor, it DEF will happen, and yes it's a part of the process. But I hope that knowing that we've all been there and survived it will encourage you to just let it happen, keep working out and eating right, you're doing gr8! Just remember how b4 surgery, we gained, not stalled but gained and at least now after the surgery, you know that it too shall pass and Lord willing, you'll be back to losing. As much as we all dreaded it, it's actually a good thing for our bodies to be able to rejuvenate, recharge and reset after such massive weight losses. Although the docs, and praise God for them, had done something to our bodies to help us with significant weightloss, God made this temple and thank God that He won't allow more on our bodies than it can handle! Hopefully I gave encouragement to you and not just rambling on, at least that was my goal. I'm a revision from sleeve to bypass due to 2yrs suffering from vomiting due to severe acid reflux and a stricture and guess what, 3 weeks out exactly, my body stopped losing! It just has to happen:) and now I'm going on my 5th week and started back losing, not that that's my ultimate goal now but I still want to lose a little bit more. Take care and hang on and in there with us. We have your back!!

Thank you for the encouragement. I will keep pressing on.

249.0 for yesterday's weigh in (stalled)

Today's weight: 178

182

Why are some of the numbers red, does it mean I did something wrong?

No you did nothing wrong. The red numbers are just color coding that helps you and I to know that your weight was carried over from the previous week. If you look on the top right hand side of the spreadsheet you will see what the color coding are.

Monday weigh in 321
