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!!!

Water retention? Time of the month? Time of day of when you weigh changing? Needing to poo, so many possibilities, keep drinking and eating your Protein first, maybe next week it will disapeer for no reason

ive been taking water pills and laxatives. yesterday i mustve pooped my brains out it was an all day affair lol im not complaining better than constipated. i increased my protein but i did notice the last couple days i have been falling short on my water intake. so im hoping that is part of it. im in menopause so no worries there lol i weigh myself at the same time everyday after first morning pee. its sooooo frustrating

10/6 268.8 everyone have a great weekend

Had my 1 year post op appointment today and my team was really happy and impressed with how far I've come. The coordinator wants to set me up with an interviewer to talk about my experience with the process. My nutritionist wants me to come to the next support group meeting. She said most of the people there are either pre op or a couple months post op, and would like me to give my perspective and what ive been doing for the past Year. Its kind of exciting and really put things into perspective for me. I thought i was failing but I'm actually doing pretty good lol. I know its long. Just wanted to share my good news[emoji4]
