Finally, I have hit onederland! I was in between 203-206 for about a month. How frustrating! Anyhow, I have been swimming a little bit 4 times a week. While this is supposed to be good, I rarely seem to get my heartrate up. So, I am going to starting walking a mile before I swim to see if this helps. I would love to be 175 by xmas. However, that might be stretching it so I would settle for 185.

Timeline:

185 by Xmas

175 by Valentine's Day

165 by Spring Break

155 by End of School

145 by My Bday, June 27

135 by Bandiversary Aug. 7

Does this look feasible? realistic?

Since I don't have to worry about shopping much -- I have many bins of clothes saved from my last great weightloss in 2002 and shouldn't need much of anything until I'm well below 250, I've picked travel as my reward!

My first goal is to hit 275. DH and I will take off for a weekend in San Antonio when I hit 275.

After that, we'll pick a destination and start planning for the next trip -- when I hit 250.

So, my goal is to make it to SA before Halloween!

Okay..I didn't make THAT goal by Halloween, but I DID reach it by Thanksgiving Day! And we're going to East Texas to see some friends and relatives instead of San Antonio -- just trying to figure out if we can squeeze it in before Christmas or wait until after.

My next goal is 250 by Valentine's Day. It'll be a stretch, but I'm determined!

Okay, we're close in age and our past and present numbers are real similar, but I'm guessing by your goal weight you must be taller than me.

Funny -- when I look at your numbers I think "You're doing great!" but I'm so hard on MYSELF!!! Isn't it just DUMB how we talk down to our OWNselves?

Hi,

Our exercise thread has really helped motivate me, and I am sure that this thread will do the same -- so here goes.....

My short-term goal is to lose fifteen pounds by Christmas. I set that goal a few days ago and have since lost two pounds.

Thirteen pounds in slightly less than four weeks is a bit of a push, but I believe I can do this.

Good luck to everyone trying to reach their short-term goals, and congratulations to those who have already done so :clap2::clap2::clap2:!

      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.
