Gone for Good Club - May 2006

shit, i'll take 6lbs every week!

Actually, my goal now has changed.

I am 194lbs and I need to get to 135lbs. I wanted to get to 135lbs by August. That's 59lbs. I've got 9 weeks left to really see if I can meet that mark. I've got 9 weeks and I'd have to lose 6.5lbs per week to hit 135lbs by August. I know I can do it.

Hey thank you Myst.

Put it this way, if I don't get there by August, I'll be damn close. Can't hurt to try right?

I bought my sauna suit after Telly told me about them awhile back. I agree, I love it! And they really are pretty cheap. I also reccomend the wrist/ankle weights they sell right next to them at Walmart. Haha, I have to take my suit off in the shower and it's pretty nasty all the Water that comes out.

What about bonus pts for a perfect week in any given area? Breaking it down into smaller goals for a good week? Regardless, I am in for next month!!!! Now that school is out the madness is over for me.

Telly...I may need an ass kickin from you over the workouts!

Hi! Doing my monthly check in. It's been nuts around here between prom, graduation, relatives from out of town, etc over the past few weeks. Considering everything going on, I'm down to 210. I even saw 208/209 the other day but it was over the weekend so I'm going with this morning's weight.

H 278, C 210 (-7 for May)

Huge NSV last Friday - had to buy new swim suit and it was a size 14! Down from my original 26/28. Then I went to try on some capris and bought 1 pair in size 16 and the other a size 14. And I'm proud to say neither the swim suit or the capris were tight. Wow! What a great feeling. Then one of my friends said "don't lose anymore!" I said are you NUTS! I have another 40-45 pounds. I do feel self-conscious though lately because people seem to be staring or wondering what I've been doing. I feel like a fish in a fishbowl. Oh well, I guess there are worse things.

I have another fill scheduled for 6/14 and due to some possible upcoming insurance changes, I'm going to go ahead and do it. I'm going on vacation the end of June so I'll have plenty of time to see if I need some unfill at all. Let me know when the June get together is in DFW. I'd love to go! See you later all!

*Gasp!* We lost over 300 pounds in May!! Awesome job everyone!! :clap2:

Congrats on your NSV, Feel2Young2B40! That must be an awesome feeling, but I also understand the fishbowl thing. Hold your head up high and be happy! These people are noticing good things. What a change from people looking and thinking the opposite, right?! :)

Ok, Lianna... you twisted my arm. There will be 5 pt bounses for each perfect WEEK in June's challenge. :) Cool.

      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.
