I have everyone's weight in that has posted it. Hey guys, if you think of a feature that would be cool to add to the display, let me know... I'm enjoying the development. You can now sort by name, weight, or weight loss, just by clicking the table header. I've also added other stats, like total weight lost, average per person, etc.

You can view the challenge info by going to:

WOW - you get a BIG LBT hug for all that work, Jonathan! THANKS!!!!

And Becky,

I will donate $5 to charity for EVERYONE who reaches his or her personal goal by June 1st.
Thats a great idea... gives everyone a little more motivation.

Darcy, Im like you - just a 'hurray for Paula' will be good enough for me! :cool:

I just wanted to add a little spice to it.

We are involved with the Children's Miracle Network, and Ive seen how important that meager $1 can be to a charity.

So ok, I have been hesitant to join, but I need something to keep me motivated thru the spring with all of the family gatherings coming up! I am starting at 237 and want to lose 30 pounds by June 1. I know it is lofty, but I have a fill coming up Friday and will be on liquids for a week after that. I am thinking that will boost me and hopefully with the new restriction I can do the rest on my own.

So here we go, lock me in:

weight: 237, goal: 207

Can I join too? I don't get banded till March 7th, but I think I can make up for it some....

Also if All my great plans for eating and working out come to fruition I will be the biggest loser.....in a good way. My ultimate,shoot for the stars, goal is to loose 3 pounds a week on average for a year or 156 pounds total.... Leaving me 34

more for my goal weight.

My start weight is 441 today--next Monday is my surgery-so I will probably get weighed before that.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
