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!

@alcn1derlnd I would make a goal you think is attainable but don't make it too extreme because a lot of people retain water after surgery and their weight goes up for a little but. I would make a goal weight you think is appropriate and if you surpass it you can adjust your goal as the challenge goes on!

@rubia72Thank you so much! What are you doing for exercise right now?

@sjfink Thank you so much! I've had some ups and down with recovery but I'm okay right now!

@itstime4me123 Thanks for your interest in the challenge. for the challenge please give me your goal weight you would like to achieve by the date of August 11, 2017. We just do short term goals in the challenge. I've entered your stating weight for the challenge and I will just need your goal weight for the challenge! Thanks!

@DanceMomOf2 No problem!

Sorry it took me so long to update the spreadsheet guys and respond to some of you. I have been having a hard time recently after my surgery. I am finally starting to feel better. Thanks to everyone who wished me well!

Starting weight: 282.6 (I think I still have a lot of fluid retention and swelling)
