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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
