In fact, if Paula wants to help, I can give her access to it and she can update it too -- or I can do it, I don't care. =)

LOVED that idea Jonathan. And you can just do the updates if you want - no need to give me access to your site.

Can you add everyone's name? Lets see, there is:

Wade

Nancy

Jamie

Zoe

Darcy

Becky

Penni

Bigmom

Michelle

Blossom

Becca

Illsucceed

Betty

Jonathan (you)

Paula (me)

Id like for it to be in alphabetical order.

Becky suggested the end date being May 22, but I think it would be better to stick to June 1... 12 pounds in 12 weeks! (I need that extra space Becky :cool: )

Yikes Penni - Im with ya! I gained 2 pounds this week as well, so my starting weight is 202.

Anyone else want to join???

-12 pounds X 12 weeks.... (seems so easy, ha!)

Mondays sound good to me. I'm up a pound to 212, but I refuse to change my signature. I think it's just monthly Water weight. . . couldn't possibly have anything to do with that handful of M&Ms I had last night!

Jonathan, there's no need to "handicap" your participation just 'cause you have a Y chromosome. One-for-one should work. I'll race you: Can you get to 299 before I get to 199? (Undoubtedly you can.) I don't want to offend anyone who might perceive this side bet as pressure to lose weight -- just want to add a little spice to the challenge!

I have an idea for the winner....

how about everyone donate a small sum of money ($1, 5 but no more then $10) to that person's favorite charity in our own areas (for example: women's shelter, food pantry, orphanage, animal shelter - these are places that every city has) - does this make sense?

Do yall want the winner to be the one that gets to their goal first - OR the one that loses the most by June 1???

Sounds to me like both ideas are good one. I think the actual weight loss should be the why to declare a winner. Just my opinion.

Ok, it's updated with what I have so far. Some of you indicated your weight to the tenth's. I always omit the decimal when I report my weight. So, as long as I'm 299.9, I'm 299. That's the way I wrote the software -- using integers instead of floats (er, that just means it won't accept the decimal places). I can change it, if people want me to...

But there's so much handicap to having that Y chromosome everywhere else :cool: There's the selective hearing loss, the inability to change diapers, etc. =)

The *99 side-challenege is a go, Zoe =) I hope we both tie...soon!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
