Okay, I've had this unspoken goal in mind. I'm turning 30 Sept 8th. I would LOVE to be 199-200 on my birthday. I am 237lbs today just as I have for the last 2 weeks. So before everyone says how I can do it I want you to know I've averaged 6-10lbs a month for the last 3 months so 37lbs in 2 months is such an unrealistic goal to me. But I'm sooo close and sooo far away :(

So I'm putting out there! Today marks 2 months away! I'm starting at step one. cheese sticks deli meats Protein drinks and bars and turkey, chicken, tuna ONLY I'm going to do 60 min of Zumba for 5 days a week.

I just got back from vacation and did very good!!! My surgiversay is 7/25 for ONE year. I may be setting myself up with an unrealistic goal but I know I won't be disappointed if I turn 30 at 236:) I'm still in a far better situation than myself one year ago. But if I say my goal out loud (plus my hubby knows and supports and thinks I can do it! Lol) out loud should keep me moving, burning, and losing!

Fingers crossed for a 30, flirty and thriving birthday!

2nd goal lose 50lbs .....I reached that last wk

3rd goal get under 300lbs I have 10lbs to go

4th goal 250lbs pre pregancy weight

5th goal 220lbs my lowest weight as an adult

6th goal 199lbs just to be under 200 sounds crazy to me lol

Final goal 175-180lbs hope I can make it their !!!!!

This is great! I also have a goal to reach by my birthday, 10-20 .Although it is not my 30th birthday (been there done that), I still would like to achieve this milestone by then. I so desperately want to be under 200. That gives me 14 weeks to lose 38 pounds. Oct.2 will be my 6 month surgiversary so losing 100 lbs in that amount of time has been done by so many people on here, I hope I can join those ranks.

Let's do it... we can!!! You two have gotten me motivated and excited!! I am gonna get to my goal! I have another goal for my (45th) birthday as well... I want to walk across the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston SC.... ( i live in the upstate of SC) for my birthday. It's only 2.5 miles (with a 5% grade on each end) so its not bad...its just I could have never done it at 370+ lbs and I've always wanted to do it. So this year I AM DOING IT! Thanks ladies for the extra push!!

Such motivation and support! I LOVE IT an God knows, I need it! :) day 2 also holding strong. I am walking on my breaks just to get some more steps in my day.

I never like to set myself up to fail, so goal setting was never my thing when it only applied to my health/weight. So I'm going for it.

Thanks for all the amazing support and I will defiantly keep you all posted and please let me know how it's going for you all!:)

Cheers to goals and finish lines!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
