Whatever you Celebrate I hope you have a great HOLIDAY SEASON :)

In 2016 I am going to:

Get a better electronic scale - one that measures body fat.

Get a Bod Pod reading done - I was supposed to go last week to get a baseline body fat % but my mom got sick.

REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT

Be consistent with exercise

Be outside more with my nieces and nephews doing things like taking walks, biking, hiking, etc.

Do a zip line tour

Take my Vitamins and supplements EVERY DAY

Continue to attend my follow up appointments with the bariatric team

Continue to attend my monthly support group

Help my mom through the process of getting a surgery date for herself :)

That's it for now!

Wow, I had not thought of it in terms of a resolution, but I, too, will reach my goal weight in 2016. I am coming off of a one-year stall. I have slightly over 50 pounds to lose to get to my desired goal weight. I recommitted recently and I am working with someone daily. She told me that I will achieve that goal. So 2016 it is!

Love your list!

Never heard of the Bod Pod before. Think I'm gonna get it done as well!!

I use the Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart scale. It's not the most accurate at measuring body fat. Then again, I haven't found any home-based devices that are really accurate at measuring body fat. Really neat that you're helping your mom through the process.

Merry Christmas!

I recently did the bodpod and plan to remeasure in 6 months!

I got a DEXA scan (similar to bod pod) pre op and then a year post when I reached goal. I truly loved having that info and would totally recommend! It also gave me insight into how accurate my scale that gives body fat % is (good for spotting trends, but not fully accurate it's a Fitbit Aria and is about 5% off on average compared to the DEXA).

My goal is to be better about my VITAMINS!!!!

      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.
