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!!!

All right folks, this is why I have not been posting. Two weeks ago when I weighed myself I was 207 which was a two pound gain. Every time I weighed myself I was get something different and sometimes drastically. I changed the battery in the scale thinking perhaps that was the issue and I still had the same problem. I even bought a new scale and I would get different readings through out the day. In an attempt to not go crazy I decided to stop weighing myself everyday. This morning I was 205. I realize that is what I was a few weeks ago. To help move things in the right direction I have returned to the pre op liquid diet. Today makes day nine. I hope to have shred more pounds by the time I finish the liquid diet next week. Because of the craziness with the scales I cannot tell you how exactly my progress has been the later half of June. My concern is that I am entering into the phrase when weight loss will be more of a challenge. Around the middle of the month I had my 6 month check up. According to that scale I weighed 208, so if we could think of it as a three pound lost since then. In the last few weeks I have been 205, 206, 207, 208, and 209. Let's hope that from here on out that the scale will continue to move in the right direction. Due to the craziness of the last few weeks I did not think I will hit my goal for this challenge or even be close. I will try to take that in stride and keep pushin'. Once I go back to solid food I am going to go about things differently, so I have a plan in place. I know I have lost close to 100 pounds and that is in itself an achievement, but I am not where I need to be and I have to keep working until I get there. Thanks for reading.

185.8 this week, but I've been pumped full of Fluid following orthopedic surgery. Working hard to not feel emotionally discouraged by these fluctuations.
