Calling All Junebugs -- ANNIVERSARY CHALLENGE!!!

OK . . . in an effort to get myself recommitted and energized . . . and to make the most of the last few weeks our the twelve-month "window of opportunity" for greatest WLS success . . . let's post a challenge! How much more do you think you can lose by your Anniversary Date??? Set your GOALS now!!! Here's my stats: Start weight -- 300 Current weight -- 180 Anniversary Goal -- 160 hopefully!!! Hoping to hear from all of you JuneBugs, I love reading our success stories. -BJ

I like this challenge!!! :D Start weight -- 280 Current weight -- 182.5 Anniversary Goal -- Hmmmm... a little less than two months... I think 160 is not unattainable... yeah, 160 it is Angie http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie

I'm revising my numbers... I don't believe my original goal was very realistic... so I'll go with 170 I've been pretty stagnant for a while now, but I know exactly why and what I need to do to get going with the last 40 pounds... so here I go! I plan to say good bye to the first 12.5 pounds by 29 June...

I seem to be at a stand still right now but what a great way to get motivated. Start weight --300 @ 5'10" Current weight --174 Anniversary Goal --165 I have meet my surgeons goal of 175. I want to go to 165 atleast. Not sure how much more I can lose with my height.

Hey BJ, GOOD IDEA!!! Well, I am at 126 which imeans I have now lost 97% of my excess body weight. Having come all the way from 272 pounds, I guess I could go ahead and wor******ping those last 4 pounds. 122 should put me at 100%. We have done so well! I can't believe june 11 will be a full year! WHAT A WILD RIDE!!! Hannah

My anniversary is on the 14th..... My stats Starting weight 276 Current weight 135 (I'm 5'3") Goal is 130 but I'd like to go under goal by a few pounds Anniversary Goal 125 What a fantastic ride this year has been!!! I've gone from a tight size 24 jeans to a size 4. Tops are size small or extra small where I can find them. I never imagined I'd be this TINY! Great to hear about everyone's success! Terry Coles
