Those Recently Banded: Whats Ur First Short Term Goal?

[sylviau 125]

I'm trying to set short term goals, besides my big end goal.

I was banded 7/2. I started at 297 and I have lost 32 pounds (that includes some from Pre-op) and I'm at 265 now.

My short term goal is to lose another 16 pounds and get under 250 by my anniversary mid September so I can wear this fabulous dress that still has the tags on it! And go to a fancy place with my hubby! I haven't been under 250 in years!!! Even when I've dieted before, I couldnt seem to break that number. So that's my next short term goal!

What's urs??

Great job so far!!!

I was banded on 6/27 and as of today have lost 22lbs. My first short term goal is to be under 244 when school starts back up. That was the lowest I have been in a few years and it was right at the end of last summer. I found a good 30 lbs during the school year. THAT won't be happening again this year I am at 253 as of this morning so I am pretty sure I will make it!

My short-term goal is to stop eating! LOL! I suck at my diet but I've been able to maintain about a 20lb weight loss since I was banded on May 25th. Everyday is a challenge and I take it one day at a time. I'll be getting a second fill the end of this month.

My first goal is to get under three hundred pounds! I was banded on Wednesday and apparently have already lost 7 lbs (I can't really believe it) so only twelve more pounds to go!

I was banded 6/14 and am down 30. My first goal is 210. That's where i was when I left my old job in law enforcement to become a teacher. My other goal is 190. That is where I was when I dieted and lost weight a few years ago.

Thanks!

And these all sound like awesome goals! Keep us updated to see how everyone does!

Oh and as of this morning...down another 2. So 14 to go!

I was banbed July 5th & have been a middle school teacher for 5 years ( a mid-life career change). I have gained weight since teaching. I wondered the stress level if law enforcement compares to that of teaching ? I have lost about 14lbs btw!!!

Re-positioned 7/9. First goal is to get back under 300... for good this time.

Then to get back down to 284 by September for a wedding I am going to. That will be 100 pounds lost. Again. For good this time.

I don't really have a short term goal. I was banded on July 12th so I'm still fresh. I'm already down 6 pounds from pre-op diet. So... I think I want to measure my goals in exercise. I want to go from walking to running on an elliptical for 30 minutes. Not real sure where I want to be in a month.

Mine was to wear these yellow pants I have ( size 12 ) when I was on vacation next month. Not going to make it but I think I set my expectations a little high, LOL

I was banded 5/24 and I have lost 42lbs so far. My first goal is to just lose 50lbs. Once I reach that my next goal is to get to onederland. I haven't been under 200lbs in so long.

I have lost 96 pounds. My short term goal is 100 pounds, rewarded by my first pedicure!

I was banded 6-12-12 I'm down 39 lbs I want to get under 300 soon I have 16 lbs to go. I've been loosing about 2 lbs a week I get my first fill 7-27-12. I'm healing well and love my band so far. I eat off of a saucer plate now and get full. I still have problems sometimes with saying bye bye to my plate even though I'm so so full. I'm working on it my husband helps me he says babe your head hungry your driven to finish your plate go throw it away. He is So supportive.
