my new goal ~ gotta get into that dress!!!



Recommended Posts

In December I will be celebrating my one year anniversary with the band and was hoping to reach my goal by then. Since I seemed to have stalled in losing weight during the summer and into September, I was losing hope. So... I gave myself a new goal.

I have a work related cocktail party on in beginning of Feb. 2012... and I already found the most adorable tiny black dress. It's a brand new $260 designer dress I got on ebay for $50. Size 10 Petite!!! .... I received the dress in the mail this past week and it's just perfect!!! For giggles and kicks, I decided to try it on. WOW WOW WOW... ... I've got some work to do..... The dress is "PERFECT" and an unbelievable find. I never thought I'd find something that nice on ebay. Now I have to work hard to reach my goal of getting into it.

I just got another fill on Oct. 1st and have lost over 8 pounds since. I'm feeling GREAT ... and now can see there is REAL hope of reaching my goal and getting myself comfortably into that dress. I'll have to try it on every other week or so to help keep me going. Once I get there, I'll be sure to change my profile pic on this site and show off that dress !! :-)

You go, Girl! I have a suede jacket that I use for inspiration. I keep in on a hanger hanging from the wall in my bedroom like a picture! It's the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I tried it on last week and can get it on but can't close it. Here's hoping your dress and my jacket fit soon! I have no doubt they will!!

You have a great goal! Fitting into smaller clothes is just the best feeling- I think it's as good as, if not better than, seeing the scale move. I can't wait to see that pic. of you in the dress. You can do it!

My advice when it comes to actually fitting into something (which aint necessarily the best advice for long term weight loss) cardio, cardio, cardio and then some MORE cardio. Run miles a day, spend hours on the elliptical, spin till your legs fall off - and make it all interval training, rather than slow and steady stuff. Works amazingly quickly.

      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?

      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.
