This challenge will run from 5-30-2016 through 7-11-16 (I didn't want to end ON the holiday). This will give us a total on 7 weigh ins. This is my first challenge as an organizer - so patience is appreciated! I am following the same logic as vsgSarah3 who has done a great job administrating up till now . I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 day of receiving your weight.

This challenge is for everyone. If you are pre op, post op, in maintenance or looking for some accountability; this challenge is for you! The rules and link to the spreadsheet are below!

Please respond to the post if you are interested and I will add your name to the spreadsheet.

Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around 5/30) and your Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the 7 weeks) at the start of the challenge on 5/30 or before.

Rules:

1. Post your weight on this thread every Monday.

2. If you change your screen name please let me know.
3. If you miss 3 or more weigh ins, I will assume you no longer want to participate and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet.
4. If you miss a weigh in, no problem. Just post it asap.
5. We are all here to support each other, if you post a question anyone can answer.

6. You will know your weight is updated on the spreadsheet once I've liked your post!

The link to the spreadsheet is below! Have fun, and good luck with this challenge!!!

Good luck to everyone here. This challenge is going so much faster than I thought that it would, and starting it with a stall drove me crazy, but I know if I just keep to the plan I will move past my stalls. Plus moving too fast is not that good for us anyway right?

Keep up the good work everyone.

Stats for the Week of June 13th

Well done for another week! We had quite a few new additions to the challenge and dropped about 6 non-responders. Sorry for the delay in posting – I was holding out for some missing values

• We have 112 People Participating
• 12 participants who I carried over the previous week's weight (which may skew the results a bit)
• A big shout out to @@cbrr and @Bellcurves who both were on vacation and still lost weight!
• We are collectively down 347.3 pounds (157.5.20 kgs) - That is 180.0 lbs from last week!
• To date, as a group we lost 1.49% of our overall weight and 0.78% from last week
• The highest percentages of weight lost from last week to this week that really kicked their weight loss goal’s butt are:

1. @@krae_98 6.53%
2. @@Shanni1269 4.63%

• A few people are VERY close to their 6 Week Goal and we should see some announcements for that next week – so stay tuned! (Extra motivation waves are being sent to @@BCs 1000, @@krae_98 and @@Yoga-lady as they go for the weight loss gold and blow their goals out of the water!)

Keep up the good work everyone! We are 1,482.2 pounds away from our collective goal!

Have a great and healthy week!
