hondoford 17 Posted May 6, 2013 I had my surgery last October and it was my goal to lose all my weight within 1 year (still a goal but still not sure I will make it). I started at 319lbs and I'm at 254lbs as of this morning! 65lbs down and 46 to go! OK I'm done ranting, thank you and good day.... 7 2muchfun, hely88, cflick and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hondoford 17 Posted May 6, 2013 Thank you all! A lot tougher than I thought it would be but then again not too hard when you do the right things. Got to have a plan, like everything in life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hely88 883 Posted May 6, 2013 Way to go!!!!!! Keep your eye on the prize. Goals are good to have to keep us motivated. Sometimes we need to change our modify our goals and sometimes its good to also make smaller goals. 1 hondoford reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying a person can't lose all the weight within a year but it should not be about how long it takes. None of us got to be fat overnight, and we're not going to lose it overnight either. Good for you hondoford that you modified your goals and did not go into 'failure' mode. You will reach your goal. 2 mrsto and hondoford reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow I would say that too; I'm in the gym 4 times a week, 2 hours each time and its still hard! You are doing awesome! The best tip I've received and has worked well for me is: Don't eat after 6:30PM....anything! Water and that's it after 6:30PM. That in combo with the gym is where I've seen the biggest changes.
