It's a Labor of Love: Labor Day Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

This challenge will run from 8-22-2016 through 9-19-16 (I didn't want to end ON the holiday). This will give us a total on 5 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight. Please note that I recalculate the figures over the weekend following the Monday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...

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!

and

Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around 8/22) and your Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the 5 weeks) at the start of the challenge on 8/22 or before. If no goal weight is posted I will put down 10 pound loss as the goal. In addition, please state if you are in active weight loss mode or are in maintenance mode.

Like last time I will be awarding a prize to 1 lucky weight loss mode and 1 maintenance mode person. The person will be selected at random and in order to be in the running all you have to do is log your weight each week. @rubia72 and @rnsamantha you never messaged me to send your prizes - so let me know your addresses to send the gift certificates to!

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 2 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 on monday, 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!!!

I'm in. I've been lurking (studying) here, but i think this will help me a lot. I am at my third week now (staying off the scale for at least a week). My doctor just warned me yesterday that because i had lost so much weight prior to surgery and since surgery, that i lowered my BMI enough that i would probably not lose weight as fast now. I worked hard for that weight loss and in not going to let it be the cause of my defeat. I choose to work that much harder to be a success story.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
