Recommended Posts

I know I have written about this topic before, but for some reason I can not find the thread. So I wanted to rewrite my own personal goals and hopefully a few of you will share with me also! :) I am not putting this in any particular order because I have reached some of my milestones and can't actually remember what other ones I had before. But I would like to be able to go back and see how far I have come!

Lose 10 pounds

Walk 3 miles

Lose 20 pounds

Lose 30 pounds

Wear size 18 jeans

Run a mile in 10 minutes

Reach lowest weight in 5 years (227)

Lose 50 pounds (SOOO CLOSE)

Run two miles

Wear size 16 jeans

Run 3 miles

Become a Zumba Instructor

Run a 5K (planned for next spring!)

Shop in a store I could not fit into before

Reach Onederland! Hopefully before my next appointment in January!

Wear size 14 jeans

Lose 75 pounds

Lose 100 pounds

Wear jeans in the single digits

Lose 115 pounds

Goal!

I will come back as I think of more goals. Right now I am happy but I am not. I am happy that I have reached a weight I haven't been in more then 8 years, but I am not as happy that it is not coming off as quick as I had hoped. But it just means I need to start getting myself in check, eat right and work harder. B) No more excuses that its the holiday season and everyone slacks off haha :rolleyes:

If my math is right, you have reached more than half your goals already, more than half! I know you said you had more but these are your important ones because you can remember them to recreate this list!

Taking the weight off slower means that you LEARN to change your habits. And like I said in another post, the end result is worth so much more to you.

I think you are doing amazing for getting this far. Refocus and you'll swipe few more strikes on that list of yours.

Looking forward to an updated post in January!

      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.
