Sorry it's taken me so long to start this challenge, I've been going through a lot.

This challenge will run from February 3, 2017 through March 24, 2017. This will give us a total of 8 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight but I am working two jobs and taking 5 classes so if it takes me a few extra days I am sorry but I WILL have it updated as soon as possible!! Please note that I will recalculate the figures as soon as I can following the Friday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...

I have made these Friday weigh ins because that will allow us to start as soon as possible. You may post your weight at anytime during the week if Friday is not your weigh in day!

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!

Procedures:
Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around 11/14) and your Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on February 3, 2017.

Rules:
1. I will be awarding a prize to 2 lucky participants! The winners will be selected at random an the only thing you need to do to be eligible for the drawing is log your weight each week!

4. 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.
5. If you miss a weigh in on Friday, no problem. Just post it asap.
6. We are all here to support each other, if you post a question anyone can answer.

@Mandybb I'm sure that's frustrating, everyone's body does different crazy things! I hope it starts moving down more soon for you! Maybe you aren't having enough calories?

@BigUtahMan Stalls are the most frustrating things! It is always nice to know we are not alone and it gets better!

@rubia72 Aww! I'm sorry hun! It will go back down!

@dede0314 You are doing great!

@jellybean12 I'm sorry you are going through that! It is incredibly frustrating I know! It gets much harder I think once you get down to the lower numbers but you are doing so well!

@Mandybb That's great! Congratulations! Try not to (even though I know it's almost impossible) compare your journey to others! I did that and it really drove me insane for a bit. I had SUCH a high BMI and yet those who had much lower were losing much faster than I was which made NO sense to me. I had to take a step back and enjoy my own journey and just be proud of each step I took downward.

@bill1130 You are doing so great! Congrats on your hard work!

@hermione53 Congrats for getting to ONEDERLAND!! You are doing amazing!

@jwinters19Congrats on breaking your stall! It's good to reassess what you need to do every so often!

@sxynanaI'm so glad this has been helping you!

@Torriluv87Haha I can SOO relate! I feel like this period has lasted forever this week! Usually I'm only for like 4 days and I'm going on 9 now I have been carbing it up! SO hard to eat right when I just want to cry and eat chocolate haha. Being a girl sucks sometimes! This challenge is over on the week of March 24th! I will start a new one after that!

@Jen-2+1It's okay if you don't reach your goal! You are still going down! Thats all that matters! Our bodies don't always react the way we want them too! You have the next challenge coming up to reach another goal!

@Hazel_eyez Congrats on reaching your challenge goal! Did you want to revise your goal for the remaining 2 weeks?

My weigh in for this week is 303.8! I almost cried on the scale! I thought I would never reach my challenge goal of 299 this time because I kept going up and down with all the traveling and not making great choices but I started meal planning again and measuring and tracking and going back to the gym and I lost almost 14 pounds this week! I'm so excited! I can NOT wait to see a 2 at the beginning of my weight!!
