New Goals for the New Year?! :) Before and after pics.



Recommended Posts

I made it through the holidays without gaining so that is good but I am ready to get to goal. Need to lose about another 20-25lbs. I will have to through the carb detox too. Man those carbs are like drugs. Alway calling my name. Good luck and happy new year to all!!

I want to get to goal this year, preferably in the next few months (my surgery was 12/19/12). I'm going to be more diligent with weighing and measuring my food, since I've gotten a little lax with that. I'll continue tracking every bite on my fitness pal. And, I'm going to ramp up my exercise. Here's to a healthy 2014!

I need to cut back on the sugar.... I havent seen any weight gain from it yet but I find mysekf reaching for it a LOT mor often than I had been.... I never really limited the other carbs as long as I ate Proteins first...

I recently had hysterectomy and studies show the aveerage weight gain 1 year out is 20 pounds...THAT CANNOT HAPPEN FOR ME so I need to monitor my habits....

Aww thank you so much!!

Actually my hair is very thin. I've lost half my volumn. I was blessed to have very thick hair. :) I do take 10,000 mcg of Biotin everyday and have started taking prenatal vitamins! hahaha.. funny someone my age taking prenatal Vitamins. I have to say that they really help my hair and nails.

I'm still struggling to lose weight. I wish it wasn't so hard this far out!! Happy to be in a 10 though!

Have a great day and God bless!!

I too want to refocus tracking. I have been trailing off at the end of the day. That's the part of the day with the most "risk" for head hunger behavior. I have not succumbed to it; still, take one thing away and it becomes a slippery slope.

I also would like to have plastic surgery this year.

I want to loose 40lbs and get to goal. This will take a serious effort. Gained 3lbs baking but lost it this week was sick.

Only got a short time frame so even if I loose half I'll be happy.

I first of all want to lose the 10 Lbs I gained between Halloween and New Years day. That will put me back to the after picture below. When I achieve this first goal I then WILL get to my final goal before my Surgiversary date June 21st.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
