Okay, I am very hesitant to post the Spring Break Challenge. The last spreadsheet I posted got all wonky, I know my name was moved from the very top to the middle, so I ended up changing someone else's information. I caught it quickly and fixed it right away, but some folks were not as lucky. If I post it, and it is ready to go, we have to all promise to look closely before we change our information, or input our data. Also, we have to remember that everyone is here for a reason, and people make mistakes. Yes, it sucks when someone makes a mistake that goofs your info, so I suggest keeping track on your own, as well. That way, if someone jacks with your data, you can fix it.

The way I have this set up is just like the Christamas Challenge. The first weigh-in will be next Monday. I personally set my highest goal yet, so we'll see. I've amped up my workouts, so I think this will help. I love doing this! It is so motivating!

If you are new to a challenge, just click on my link and it will take you to a spreadsheet on Google docs. Then enter your name, goal weight, and starting weight...where prompted.

Good luck!! Here's to new swimsuits for Spring Break!! (Or ski jackets, if you are a snowbunny like me!)

I didn't quite make the Christmas/New Year's Challenge, but I'm in for Spring Break. I'm going to be conservative and realistic for myself (plateauing often) and say I'm in for 10lbs! Thanks for setting this up and good luck everybody. :D

I really need some motivation.. I got my first fill on Dec. 23 and haven't lost a pound since!! I haven't gained anything, but I haven't lost anything either. I feel like I'm hungry all the time now!! Every day I wake up and tell myself this is the day that I don't eat between meals, but we are snowed in and it didn't happen today, but i feel good about tomorrow. I did exercise today!! I was really excited to get back into my routine after the holidays with the kids back in school and husband back to work. This challenge is going to help me get back on track!! thanks for getting it started.. BamaMom~ Amy

I'm right there with ya! I got my first fill on Dec 28th and I feel worse now than I did before! I feel like I could eat a horse if I wanted to! I'm due for another fill on Feb 4th, so hopefully that will help. Good Luck to you!

I agree with everyone -- this is great timing. I haven't lost since Christmas, but am totally committing myself to this. I will be traveling in March with friends that I just saw this weekend, so it would be great to have a noticeable change! I'm going with 15 pounds for a loss. Here we go!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
