20 lbs from my first goal.



Recommended Posts

When I had my surgery in June of last year, I didn't set a short term goal for myself. I set it high for where I would like to "start" making goals. To me goals are optional. The weight I set for myself was not an option. It was a life altering number that would change my life, make me healthier, more confident, happier. If I could get to this number then I could set small goals to a "better" healthier person. I started at 338 at my highest weight from my home scales and set my number at 190. Today I am only 20 lbs from that healthier number. From there I'll set 10 lbs goals for myself. I can see the confidence when I look in the mirror today. Yesterday I wore a pair of spunky cowboy boots to work. I kept getting compliments on how they had personality! lol I would have never done that before. Boots, jeans and a shirt that doesn't hide my butt ! LOL

I've went from a 26W to a 14/16 misses. My dream is size 8/10 and about 160 lbs.

Who knows, sometimes dreams do come true. Maybe this is my year to get my wish ! :rolleyes:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
