Yup! Have surgery and all of the above! lol When the weight is down, I too would love to run a marathon! I currently just had trouble getting my jacket off cause my arms could barely move around my back to grab the sleeves. I am soooo ready to begin this journey and feel awesome with myself. Good Luck to you all!! :)

Well mine is to:

  • Lose weight, well nope I for the first time in DECADES don't have to do that.
  • Get in shape - well I did that too, I'm in better shape now than EVERY in my whole life.
  • Do something about my terrible sense of style - well, I certainly have licked this one too. With far more choices and not being forced to by "circus tents" for clothes I am certainly better dressed than I was. Being able to pick off the rack (when I can find SMALL enough clothes!) nearly ANYWHERE helps too.
  • Get my skin cleared up - well that issue was resolved pretty magically post-op, must be the diet.
  • Get my health back in line - well, I licked that too.

So I guess I really have NO resolutions this year.

So I'm not perfect and have other character flaws at least I am not fat, ugly, out of shape and a poorly dressed slob any more.

Mine is to start weighing in weekly instead of everyday. Also, I would like to be able to run 5 miles in an hour, a constant normal jog. I want to lose weight. I also want to live a healthy life and stop thinking like I am on a "diet" all the time.

Mine is to have a better year than 2011, which was an absolute emotional roller coaster for me that resulted in my slipping in to some of my old eating habits. I plan to get back on track with my eating, making sure I keep track of every bite I put in my mouth and get the last of this weight off. I would like to exercise more, as well, But, that will be dependent on how things go for me in January. I am having spinal surgery sometime then, and will see how it long it takes me to recover and get back into my Jiu Jitsu and other exercise programs.

Continue losing weight, try to incorporate more exercise. Stay away from the thrift stores. I buy too many used clothes as I keep losing and then they get too big. No one needs 50 pairs of size 22w pants.lol

Well don't shoot me but mine is to STOP losing weight ha. Hopefully after the scope this week that will finally come to an end :) (suspected stricture leading me to not be able to eat).

Stop stressing and just do what I need to do to be happy.

And get into kickboxing at least 3 days a week to tone this flabby body ;)

Great Question! My resolutions have always revolved around my weight. As I get closer to goal , I see my self falling back into bad habits. My sweet tooth was not removed when they took out most of my tummy. DARN!! I want to get control of that and watch the last of my bad habits die.

I want to get along better with my husband too. Because of my past, I see him as my adversary instead of my advocate. Makes our relationship pretty hard alot of the time.

A very happy and successful New Year to us all!!!,

Living the dream,

Laura

I ADORE resolution time... It calls to the planner within me. I'm also usually pretty good about following through on them so let's see how this year goes.

1. Work on perfecting my marriage. I like how Decamom put it... I need to see Hubs as more of an advocate than adversary.

2. Join a group fitness class, probably yoga, once a week. I am STILL terrified of these and need to get over it.

3. Complete an indoor triathlon so I can figure out if I love it enough to invest in a bike.

4. Run a FULL marathon. Last year, my goal was a half marathon and I completed that two weeks ago!

5. Lose the last 30 lbs or whatever it takes to wiggle myself into size 10 non-stretchy jeans.

6. Volunteer. I feel a need to give back more than I have been. I hope to work at a local children's hospital as a tutor or something of that nature.

I have two:

1) Be kind to myself: I have a sneaking suspicion that if I am kinder to myself, it will only increase the weight loss I am experiencing since being sleeved. (of course being kind to others too biggrin.gif )

2) To run a 5K by this fall!

1. Get back on track with the Couch to 5K program - lost a lot of progress when I was very sick, but I'm ready to get back into it. We have tons of 5K events around here so I'm going to look for a couple to register for so I have a target date/goal to work towards.

2. Get back to my militant tracking. I have sucked at tracking intake for the past 6 weeks and it's reflecting on the scale - no movement up, but no significant downward movement either. The damn chocolate covered pretzel I just had two bites of didn't help either. I'm getting this damn Christmas food out of my HOUSE!

Indymom, I hear you! I am definitely going to start tracking religiously again. I have got to get that scale moving down, down and down again!

      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.
