So alot of my goals I have already met. I went from a 6x shirt to an XL. From a 56 pants to a 38. I'm 57 pounds away from my weight goal of 220. Down 177 lbs. I still have a considerable amount of fat to lose not sure if 220 goal should be lower. What are your goals?

I set my personal goal by using the BMI chart. I'm 5' 6", so I looked up where a woman that tall is completely out of the "obese" category and it is at a weight of 150. At 150, my weight will be considered normal.

BMI on height and weight alone is very misleading. Mine would be 170 lbs. There is no way with my bone structure and muscle mass. I would look like I was on my death bed LOL

Great Goals !!....awesome you achieved them.

My ultimate goal is 150 pounds. I have lost over 60+ pounds to date. I stated in November 2014.

My first goal was, like yours, to go from a 4x to an XL shirt - Achieved.

2nd Goal - to find a women's jacket I could actually wear - Achieved.

3rd Goal - to get to 199 - not yet achieved, but working hard on it.

I will always have a goal even when I have reached all the goals....

My goals were primarily health-related:

  • sleep apnea - Cured
  • High blood pressure - Cured
  • Pre-diabetes - Cured
  • High Cholesterol - Cured

My goal weight was under 200, but I set 160-170 with my nutritionist. Once my comorbidities were cured, everything else was just a bonus.

I did have some medium shirts that were my "dream shirts" if I could fit in them. They're now loose on me. :)

Best of luck on your journey!

Weight goal is to be between 130-140. I started my pre-op diet at 230lbs. I had surgery the 2nd of February and I am down 33lbs already. :) Praying for a better back and knees, gotta get this weight off!

My goal is to be in single digit pants. Not quite there yet. Can fit in a size 10 with little room but the 8's are to snug in the trunk to wear in public. So hopefully this last 10 lbs I need to lose to put me in a normal BMI range will fix it.

My initial goal was to reach the "normal" BMI range (154). Got it. Then my goal was to give myself a 4-pound cushion so I wouldn't become "overweight" everytime I bounced a bit (150). Still working on that. And then, I read that the ideal weight for my age and body type is 148. So that's my new stretch goal. 5 pounds to go!

      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.
