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!!!

Per @@goplay94123 I am posting this. I am finally under 200lbs. Not by much, but still I made it. Of this morning I am 199.2lbs. I thought I would never get here. I believe the last time I was under 200lbs was when I was in junior high or even late elementary school. That is sad to say, but trying to do better presently. I got old fat, but Lord willing, it is going to be gone fat! How many of you out there got old fat, but are working on the gone fat?!

Thanks for hosting this, GoPlay. We all appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you put in to making this a fun challenge. I reached my goal of 194 a few days after the challenge ended. Looking forward to the next one!

A week late for the challenge, but I made my goal of 168 today! Onward and upward… or make that downward. 18 more to my final goal!

Thanks for the reminder. 168 is my final weight.

b. I applied a randomizer to next to each name

c. I picked the first Active Weight Loss participant who logged each week and had the lowest random number

Apparently there's not going to be a Labor Day challenge since that's only 4 weeks away

Hi all. I got sick after a trip. I will post for the Labor Day challenge Saturday. It will be for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after Labor Day. Sorry for the delay. It has been a rough few weeks for me and I appreciate everyone's patience. I will post here and the new challenge.
