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!

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.

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!

      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.
