For all those that enjoyed the VD goal challenge, here is a longer 120 day challenge. Set a goal for yourself to lose by July 1, 2009. I weigh 340.1 today and my goal will be 30 to 40 pounds for anything for my between 300 and 310.00.

Post your goal, post your progress and stay on thread with your ups (successes) and downs (fallen off point). I will be here for you and you need to be here for me.

Set a goal that is a bit unrealistic yet attainable. Something that will push you to exercise, stay on the food regiment and something that will get you going and stay going.

For me, I haven't been below 300 pounds in over a century so this challenge is huge for me. When I achieve this goal, my first 100 pounds plus will be gone forever and half of my total weight goal done....finished..

Join me as we strive to reach our goals and lose this weight forever!!

peace.................

Just fixing mine again. Everyone might want to check their info. Please when adding or updating your stats use the most current post.

Just adjusting for new weight (down a few more pounds). I'm not sure if I'll really lose 20 pounds by the 4th (I'm a slow loser), but it is still a good goal to keep in mind! Since the 4th is about 11 weeks from now, I'm hoping to AT LEAST lose about 10 more pounds.

Good luck everyone!

I have an idea--why doesn't everyone post how many total pounds they've lost since starting the challenge? That way we'll be able to cheer each other on better.

(Unless the "start" weight, listed at the beginning of the listing, is supposed to be your weight at the beginning of the challenge and not your start weight from being banded??--I've never been able to figure that out...?)

Anyway, I've lost eight pounds so far! Yeah!

Betel, the start weight is the start weight from the beginning of the challenge, I am pretty sure at least it is for me. Welcome to the challenge. however, when you add or update your stats, can you please be sure to use the most current posting so everyone's stats stay current? Good luck to you!!

Just fixing my stats, no more loss yet.

update numbers

Betel, the start weight is the start weight from the beginning of the challenge, I am pretty sure at least it is for me. Welcome to the challenge. however, when you add or update your stats, can you please be sure to use the most current posting so everyone's stats stay current? Good luck to you!!

Will do (posting comment).

Hmm. My "start weight" was my original starting weight from being banded. Maybe I need to change my stats. But if you look over the list, a lot of people put their original start weight, not the start weight from the beginning of the challenge, so I do think there has been a bit of confusion on the issue.

I can't think of a good short word/phrase for "Start at beginning of challenge" though.

Anyway, I'm going to change my stats..

"Start weight" is different from "start date"--it rhymes though!

Reposting my stats with the "Start" weight being from the beginning of the challenge, not from when I was first banded.

Hmm. My "start weight" was my original starting weight from being banded. Maybe I need to change my stats. But if you look over the list, a lot of people put their original start weight, not the start weight from the beginning of the challenge, so I do think there has been a bit of confusion on the issue.

I can't think of a good short word/phrase for "Start at beginning of challenge" though.

Anyway, I'm going to change my stats..

Hmmm, interesting, you are right. I joined this challenge late so my weight is fromwhen I joined. Oh well, maybe it's what we are comfortable with posting. My start weight at surgery was 305. My losses have slowed down as I get closer to goal.
