The Challenge Begins!

Today begins the Hot Summer Meltdown challenge! I'm very excited about it. I weighed 181.4 this morning and am hoping to get down to 170 by August 1st. In reality I'd love to be 165 by August 7th. That would be goal and also my one year bandiversary. We'll see what happens! The timing of this challenge is perfect. I feel like it gives me something to focus on and push me these next two months. 


I have a fill on Tuesday. Last time G and Dr. F talked me out of getting one. I had lost 8 pounds the month before and I was on my (.) which means I'm always tighter. They said I should come back in two weeks but I couldn't get an appointment. So here it is a month later and I'll finally get in! I have decent restriction but it's not ideal. I've also only lost about 1.5 in a month. UGH! So, hoping this fill, and me getting off my butt and starting to exercise again, will get me into the 170's. OMG...170's.

    I'm happy about this challenge too - it's great to really focus and have to be accountable every Sunday. (Sunday is a BRUTAL weigh-in day, btw.)

    You're so close to goal, you've done amazingly well. I'm sure you can do whatever you put your mind to this summer.

    Good luck on the challenge. I didn't bother to enter for two reasons...I've had only one pretty meaningless fill since surgery and where I'm 23 lbs since 2 weeks before surgery, I've literally been the same weight for 3-4 weeks...no scale movement sucks.
    You're goal is so in sight.
