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!!!

@ rubia72 -

Those are my classifications - basically - if you are still trying to get to goal weight - then you are in weight loss mode - If you are at or around your goal and are just trying to maintain the current weight give or take a few pounds - you are in maintenance - I believe with a goal of onederland you are active weight loss mode :)

Me, too. As of 8/22 I weigh 246; my goal is 10 lbs. loss; I'm in the weight loss phase. (I will not be available until mid-week the week after next - VACAY! - going to Amsterdam and, yes, I'm eating the magic cookies!)

I'm in! Hope it's not to late.
