LeslieLee 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Hi Everyone! It is June the forth and I was thinking about goals for the month. Last month I found it helpful to read the posts of others and plan my own goals and post them. I did acheive my goal as did most of us I think! Big high five to all of us! So for starts as I am just a few days on this side of life I would like to really focus on getting the most out of the month as in working through the different stages of food and learning about my feelings towards this phase. lol right now I am just so happy to be able to have chicken broth !! and popsicles!! I seldom have huge hunger so far but it is early yet. So I guess what my goal is is to make it through this month of liquids. full liquids, pureed, and soft foods without too much trouble Good luck to everyone this month!!

marcar35 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Thank you LeslieLee. Like yourself I need to get through this month while I have dreams of a succulent steak :welldoneclap:. All kidding aside, so far so good for me as well. I'm enjoying my broth and today I've found out from Maral at TLBC that I can add a little bit of parmesan cheese to the broth. Heavenly! Best of luck to you as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaffer 1 Posted June 5, 2007 Okay, June goals it is. I managed to make my May goal by the excess skin of my teeth. I had a nice stall in the last 2 weeks of May. My June goals are as follows: - Get below 270lbs. I have set a mini-goal for myself to get to 100lbs lost by the end of July so that is half way to that. - Conitnue to make it to the gym at least 3 times per week, but strive for 4 or 5. - Conitnue to eat healthy, try to make better choices, and limit my treats to once a week. Other than that, I just want to try to take care of myself and not get too stressed out. The coming months are the most stressful in my job so getting through them will be a challenge.

jurema 0 Posted June 5, 2007 June goals... I'm going to visit Starbucks only on pay days as I can't even begin to imagin how many calories are in a Venti Dulce de Latche (next visit June 15). I'm going to start working out more. I've been doing 30-45 mins of power walking a day but now it's time for me to change things up. I've never been one for the gym so I've bought some light free style wights and Hip Hop abs. I'm aiming to follow along with the DVD at least 3 times a week and continue with my walking.

The first day I was really drowsy. The second day I was still a bit drowsy but moved around when I was awake. The third day I was great and this is day 4 and I'm still waiting for those awful gas pains in the shoulder everyone talks about. I do have some occasional pain in my stomach which I think is gas but it cames and goes and is quite bearable. I also did not take any painkillers since the surgery. I removed my big bandages today and everything looks great. The other ones come off in approx 6 days. I don't want to jinx it but so far so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debwhite 0 Posted June 5, 2007 My goal for June is to stay away from chocolate. Jill (the nutritionist from TLBC) said to start thinking like I am allergic to it. Worked for the 1st week after the bash, but I have succumed to the craving today. I'm still losing though, and that's better than before the motivational bash!
