jodyjetson 72 Posted October 8, 2014 Way to go! It's funny I just thought about setting some goals too because I have been hovering around 233 (down 61 pounds ) for the past month. It's sure easy to become complacent and unfocused. I want to be under 200 for my birthday - which is Dec 26. I think it's doable 11 pounds a month for the next 3 months. Thanks May sleevers for posting! Let's keep each other motivated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boccob81 244 Posted October 8, 2014 My dr told me that the next three months most people will see great results but then after it slows down a lot. I asked why he said not sure but he just wanted me to know what he seen so if I can lose 30 in 3 months but me in the 250 area I can live with that when it drops to 4 pounds a month . But I think there is exception to it and I hope to be one ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLorri 31 Posted October 8, 2014 I have a similar goal jodyjetson my bday is Dec 28, but at 229 for a few weeks. Would love to lose 22 pounds so I can Celebrate my 100 pounds lost by my birthday. I haven't been super intense yet with working out so I've signed up for Krav Maga classes, first try is this week. O'lawdy I hope I don't pass-out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2blessed 16 Posted October 8, 2014 Checking in.....sleeved may 22 and today down 77lbs. Feel like I've been hovering in the 70's for awhile now tho. No gains, so thankful for that! Only complaint I really have is that I'm still not tolerating meat....of any kind, shape, form or fashion. Havent been on here in awhile so not sure if others have had this problem. My staples seem to be my shakes, yogurt, nuts, and any Soup not containing Pasta or potatoes. Getting all my Vitamins in, and diligent on the Iron since the meat is a no-go. I am having dreaded Hair loss but I've been taking 10, 000 mcg of Biotin daily since a mth before surgery to prepare myself for that. So not too bad. Getting all fluids, bored with my menu, but otherwise feeling and looking GREAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottagonow 82 Posted October 9, 2014 Awesome - so glad to see this thread! I'm leveling, moving beyond target. My stomach is still funny about certain things and carbs are a no so....loss continues but it's slower. Frankly, I'm sick of people's comments on the loss. Never, ever thought I'd say that. Really.

sandirufophoto 19 Posted October 9, 2014 Great to see everyone checking in.congrats to all! I'm down 60lbs- 183! So happy, I never thought this was possible. I feel great. I eat whatever I want just a bite or two and mostly focus on Protein. I graze on beef Jerky all the time. I have wine after dinner (even though it isn't advised) half a glass is all I can take. My husband says I'm a cheap date, lol. Keep up the good work all my May sleevers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted October 9, 2014 I'm glad to see my fellow May sleevers checking in. I'm happy to be among a great group of losers. I think that my decision to have the VSG was one of the best in my life. Compared to how I was at the beginning of this year, my life is so improved. At this point I have lost a total of 91 lbs, 52 of them since the surgery. My ultimate goal is looking more and more possible, although my short term goal of reaching 150 by my birthday next week probably won't happen. I'm very happy with my results.

Forsythia 882 Posted October 10, 2014 Checking in again. I'm down to 226. So 86 lbs from my program start weight (well over 100 from my all time high). My goal is to lose 27 by new years eve. So I can be in Onederland once 2015 begins. I think I can lose it faster. But I don't want to get cocky. LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
