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

  • Popular Post

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!!!

Goal 150

Still in weight loss mode!

I'm here!

Start weight is 149

Goal weight for 9/19 is 139.9 or less!

Might be ambitious so close to goal, but I'm going to do my best!

Good luck everyone :)

Man...I'm the heaviest one in this thread which is the kick in the rear end I need to keep up with my routine...I weighed 370 lbs just 3 weeks ago and down to 338 today. I can't wait to get out of the 300's and even beyond that. Good luck to everyone and thank you to the organizer for putting this together to help motivate and encourage us!
