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!!!

My apologies - i forgot to un-filter when I filtered for missing data for July 4th! I have removed the filter and you are there! Sorry everyone!

280. Trudging along...

Chiming in early - won't be by a scale tomorrow. Still at 214. Didn't get to goal, but I set it too low. At least I lost over the challenge! Thanks for running it!
