April 2006 Bandsters/what am I gonna do when I lose first 20kgs/44pounds

[Eficka 0]

Hello my fellow badsters/bandits :biggrin1:

I made a commitment, once I lose my first 20kgs I will treat myself to Louis Vuitton or any designer bag I like:nervous

I know it might sound a bout superficial but I always wanted one and there was no real reason to get it:biggrin1: Its gonna be my prize for the half way victory:biggrin1:

I just hope that I will reach the point soon.

Today I got my stitches out and it was quite ok.Since the surgery I lost 7,5pounds.That doesnt look to much to me.I guess its better than nothing:-)

Have a great day everybody!

I have not thought that far ahead ... yet! But -30kg will be my wedding day weight and i want to Celebrate my birthday 21 December in my wedding gown. I have challenged all my friends to also wear their clothes that they had on that day to the party. Think it's gonna be great fun. First time ever i planned a birthday party 8 months in advance...hehehe!!!

For me, I have a lot of weird goals. My first goal is to be a size 20 before June 18th. My husband's work is having their annual banquet that day, and I refuse to buy anything new to wear to it, which means I have to be a 20 to get into something old. To do that, I think I will need to lose another 15-20 pounds - around 225-230. I hope I can do that.

Other goals:

217 pounds - My prepregnancy weight for my daughter

199 - Duh, I think we all know why I want this one

176 - My prepregnancy weight for my son

150-160 - Goal. I would like to hit this mark before my 30th birthday. One year away.

I would like to be 217 by my 10th wedding anniversary on August 17th. I would like to be in a size 16 by Christmas.

When I get to 299, I'm getting a kick@ss haircut at a super fancy salon. Might be as soon as next month!

When I get to 249 I'm getting 2 placesettings of my china that I can't really afford but love.

When I get to 199 I'm getting the watch I'll wear for the rest of my life (I don't have it picked out yet).

When I get to 149, I'm taking a 2 week vacation to Fiji. Wahoo!

It's all very materialistic, but it keeps me thinking about the future and not being so caught up in the LOOONNNNGGG journey ahead of me.

I can't even imagine that..........but I guess I am nearly half-way there, although my weight loss has been only 2 pounds this week:cry , that makes me sad as I am being very good, can't weight to be allowed to exercise.

So what shall I do for my 20kg loss, I wanna have a goal with a pressie for me like you guys now!!!

I shall.............treat myself to a massage and facial..........mmmmm that will be nice. I hope to be at 90 kgs in 2 months time......

My other goal in the next two months is to learn to love the gym again!!!!:clap2: Good thread Efficka!!!!!

Not sure it is a real "goal" but one of the things I want to do as soon as I lose a good portion of my weight is to have a family portrait done...that I like! And then I can send it to everyone, and be proud of it!

Ya know, I have been reading this thread, and it occured to me. We all are soo terribly used to rewarding ourselves with food, that when we treat ourselves with "stuff" we worry about be materialistic.

I didnt realise it at glance at this post, but its becoming clearer. I know I need these "superficial goals" and they last longer and are much more fun than the food I *reward* myself with. Bah-humbug guilt!

One more thing to work on.

And I think I will be more than happy to reward myself like a person, with stuff. Rather than reward myself like my dog, with food.

No more guilt!!!!!!!!!

You reach that weight, you get that dress, that vacation, that $$$$ handbag!

No more guilt!

My husband has promised that when I get to 200 I get my plasma screen TV. I am psyched for that one. It's still 50lbs away but I am working on it. As far as when I get another 25 down - I think I will go for a day at the spa - no kids, no hubbie just me and a really good book ready to be pampered. Pedicure, manicure, facial, massage - let's face it everyone - we are working hard we deserve our treats.

I don't know Eva. I gained back 2 #, and have been stalled at 15.5 # since the beginning of last week. Right now, 29 more #'s sounds like a lot. Since I'm a lot older than a lot of you, and have no young ones at home I am ALWAYS very good to myself. Honestly, I'm going to have to give this some more thought. I started my walking today. 15 min. on the treadmill. It's been maybe 5 years since I've done any exercise, so this is a big challenge for me.

Ceparano, my weight loss has also come to a standstill at -14lbs. I have started eating soft food and since then - no loss. I am not eating a lot either - much less than before band but am getting first fill in two weeks. just hope i do not pick up in this time...?

[amourette 5]

Love Amourette/Fiona

I've been on solid food for about 3 weeks now and I'm losing SLOWLY. Thank goodness my first fill is next Monday. I'm doing pretty good about keeping my portion sizes down, but it is a struggle some days, so I know it's time.

My first goal is to buy something new for my 20 year high school reunion. It's June 9th and 10th and I'm shooting for 250 lbs. by that weekend. That's just my goal, if I get close I still get a new outfit because I'm beginning to move down in sizes in my closet anyway and I won't have anything semi-dressy for our Saturday night festivities. I know I won't be as small as I was for my 10 year reunion, but I will be smaller than I am now.

I have a few long term goals, but also try to keep some short term motivation by getting charms for my charm Bracelet. Never seen someone so happy the other day to add a 3 dollar charm to my stainless steel italian charm bracelet! I add a charm for ever 5lbs lost. It will take me too the big 100lbs lost mark.

My next goal is to to hit 50lbs. I told myself I'd go get my upper ear repierced then. Only a few more lbs to go!

at 69lbs lost I'll be in onederland.....so I thought it approriate because of the number to plan a getaway even if for one night at a hotel with hubby!

At 100lbs lost I get to go ahead and start working on the tummy tuck! After Tummy Tuck and at goal which is another 18lbs I plan to get a really sexy tattoo on my lower back.

I need to come up with something cool to do for 75lbs lost.........I'm sure I'll think of something! LOL
