Here we go again!I actually feel fine after my surgery, at least well enough to host one of these challenges.

This challenge will run from June 16, 2017 through August 11, 2017. This will give us a total of 9 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight but I will be recovering from surgery, then working three jobs and taking 3 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 June 16th) Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on June, 16, 2017. Remember this goal weight is only for the end of the challenge, not your ending goal weight!!

You can cut/paste this below and fill it in on your post -

Goal Weight:
Current Weight:
Today's Date:

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!

3. If you change your screen name please let me know.
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.
7. 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!!!

Remember we are all here to support each other! I look forward to running another challenge with you!

@kurigotmoxie I've added you to the challenge! Welcome!

@Pam_2-06-2017 You will break through!

@konalisa80It's only a pound! It could only be water weight! Move on and down!

@Torriluv87No problem! It's never too late to begin again. Every day is a new beginning, heck every meal is a new beginning. You can never go so off course that you can't find your way back. I also feel like I wasted or lost my honeymoon period but a lot of that was with my complications and having to take TPN infusions instead of eating for several months. All we can do is take a deep breath, let it out slow, and say today I will do this, today I will be on track. This is not an easy road and it will be something I struggle with for a lifetime. But I know I will never let myself get back to 540 pounds. I have slip ups but they are minor and alll I can do is start again the next meal.

@thisisthenewme That's so exciting! You are so close to Onederland and reaching your challenge goal!

@Missy161 Not too late at all! I have added you to the challenge! Welcome!

@dixonpratt Maybe I missed a post from you but what is your goal for August 11th?

I am so sorry for my lateness this time everyone. Everything sucks right now. I got diagnosed with scabies on Monday that my doctor thinks I caught at the hospital when I had my paniculectomy surgery. Then..I got fired from my job on Tuesday. Luckily I still have another job but that was the one that paid the most and had the most hours. I am not having a good week.

My weigh in for 7/7 was 261.2.

[mention=319731]cassiegurl[/mention] Did you mean to put 250 or did you mean 260? If you did get to 250 congrats on a great loss week!

[mention=310197]RockDaisy[/mention]Congrats! That is an amazing feeling! Also, thank you for liking all those posts when I was not on. I've had a hell of a week [emoji20]

250 is correct. Thx.

Thank ! I'm still new to the site and haven't quite figured out how to see replies to my posts. I'll post my weight tomorrow 7/14

I don't know if I gave you an aug 11 goal weight. I'm guessing at this because I'm so new but I will say: 188. It is a wild guess!

@Missy161 I have added your goal weight!

7/14/17

184

I dropped another size. I am fitting my size 10 jeans!!!
