Weight Goal Challenge For New Year's Day

[MeMeMEEE 206]

Ok I swear I had already updated here somewhere but can't find it so here goes! Today I was 111.2. So well below my goal of 117. I haven't been doing well with walking or maybe I should say keeping track of how often I walk. It turned cold and I mostly walk around Walmart or run other errands and make extra laps around the stores. It's working for me so I am ok with that.

copying over from MFP...

Yay! I want to join too! I have a few goals, I would like to be 117 lbs by 1/1 - that is around 6 lbs. I am in a normal BMI just barely and want to be more solid. I want to enjoy the holidays (I was on a feeding tube last year) but not go overboard. I want to continue to walk at least 5 days a week. This week I began taking my lunch at 10:30 and 2 breaks together at 1:30 and walking about a mile on one - would like to do it on both. I know once it starts getting dark earlier it will be too easy to just not walk at night!

HW = 232 SW = 227

VSG = 08/17/12

Wk 1 (12/07) = 182

Wk 2 (12/14) = 179

Wk 3 (12/21) = 177.6

Wk 4 (12/28) = 176.4

Final (01/01/13) = 176.6

So 174 is being so evasive...I been gunning for this goal for about a month now...Now really happy about how things working themselves out but I am going to say encouraged...On to the next challenge. I am participating in the Valentine day challenge...hoping to make it to 160 by then...With refocused eating habits and exercise (which I have not done for the past month) then I think my goal is very doable...

Well I guess I made it. I was 174. I had reset my goal to 172 as this would have brought me to below my husband's weight. It does nothing for a woman to weigh more than her husband. But I fell two pounds short. I'll try to be happy that I surpassed my initial goal Now to find another challenge thread.

Well I think I was a bit too optimistic!!! I came within 7# of my goal. In the meantime, I did hit several personal goals...1) lowest weight since I was married (almost 17 years ago...even with numerous dieting attempts in between)...2) weigh less then hubby!!!...3) feel in control of my life for 1st time in more years then I care to admit...4) don't recognize myself in the mirror due to loss (used to be the other way..didn't recognize due to my size).

I have to say that this journey is filled with a mixture of so many emotions...happiness, excitement, nervousness, fear, etc. I wish all of us continued support & success on our journey to healthier & happier lives.

Final New Year's weigh-in = 202

So officially stand at approx. 66# lost since surgery (7/17) & 76# total since Dec 2011.

So hoping I hit onderland before my birthday on January 17th!!!!

I am so for this challenge. As of yesterday morning I am 194.4lbs, my goal for New Years Day is 160lbs which I haven't seen in 17yrs. Once I get there I will re-evaluate things and decide if I want to stay at that weight or shoot for the last 20lbs before my 1yr post op appt w/my surgeon in March.

So I am just now being able to post my New Year's Weight...Although I did not reach my goal, I am still down 16.4lbs from where I started in September with this. As of this morning I am 178lb and that puts me 18lbs from my goal. I had a rough holiday and was sick from Christmas up until now and I am still not 100% but I still have a little over 2 months until my 1yr out and I plan to have met goal by March 13th.

I too have my surgiversary 3/13 and I hope to be down another 20lbs. I was 174 this morning so I didn't make my New Years goal of 172lbs.
