Alright everyone, here we go again! Please be patient with my updates on the spreadsheet as I have a lot going on.

This challenge will run from August 25, 2017 to October 20, 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 am going to be in 5 classes and working 2 jobs 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 August 25th) and Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on August 25, 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!
2. Post your weight on this thread every Friday. Specifically 8/25, 9/1, 9/8, 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, and 10/20
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!!!

@gotime0810 CONGRATS on meeting your challenge goal! Would you like to make a new goal for the remaining 6 weigh ins?

@nonickname4meI hope your surgery went well! Be prepared for a possible"gain" next week from swelling from surgery and excess IV fluid.

@dixonprattwhat is your goal weight for 10/20?

@rusnjI TOTALLY understand. I did the SAME!!! So frustrating!!! I did EVERYTHING right too! This process sucks sometimes but we have to stay the course.

Thank you, and yes I will be adjusting my goal to 205.

@Missy161At least with salt gain it will come off easy!

@jimp444I feel like that has been common this week! You are not alone!!

@Michelle71 I know how frustrating stalls are! Lets keep working at it!

@rubia72I hope you made it through the storm just fine!

@facebro29I have your starting weight as 216 so no weight gain on the challenge! Plus the travel gain will most likely come off quickly!

@pfisherI know it's so frustrating to see the number go up. At least it is by a very small amount for you! I know even a few ounces can be upsetting to us though. People who have not had surgery don't understand as much. Just keep going! You will get there!

@tovashaAdded!

@gotime0810updated!

So sorry it took me so long to update everyone! Life is so busy! Unfortunately next weekend will be the same but I will update as soon as I can!

My weigh in this week was 247.8 Very unhappy with this but what can I do!

@dreamynow You are smashing it , wow amazing, can I ask what your daily eating is like

Dashofpixiedust8 thank you and yes we made it & now I have way too many snacks in the house & I don't go back to work until Thursday because most schools in pinellas county were used as shelters[emoji19]
