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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
