Mine is to get to final goal ASAP. I'm close, but not close enough. It gets a lot harder the more you lose because your body seems to get used to the small amount of food for fuel.

By May would make me extremely happy....

You're right - I've done those things and am losing steadily again, but no where near as much as in my first 6 months or so. I'll get there, its just going to take time.

Training for a half marathon should be helping!

I am fully aware that my short term goal is crazy. My SIL's wedding is April 26th. I would like to reach "Onederland" by then. Of course I have a sinister motive, but it seems to be enough to keep me going (muhahahaha!). My husband and I were guilted into having her in our wedding party and she was such a tw*t! My revenge? To look better than her in her own wedding photos! Childish, I know, but I can't sink myself to her level and give her the same piece of the hell that she gave me. So instead I will relish in my own inner sense of retribution.

On December 30th when I set my goal, I had to lose 67 pounds to get there. As of this morning, I have 77 days to lose 42.5 pounds (HA!). If I keep going the way I have (average loss of 20 pounds a month), I know I can do it. And I know that all of you can meet your short term goals as well!!!!

I have a short goal of weighing 270 by Feb. 24th, the day my sister is getting married! That gives me 14 days...I can so do it! Especially now, because I'm sick and am barely eating anything as it is!

The half marathon is March 9. I registered for it today, so theres not turning back now!!

I know in my city some of the running clubs run training courses in preparation for half and full marathons. They schedule runs 3 or 4 days a week 12 weeks in advance and teach you all about nutrition and technique and the right clothes to wear etc. Its costs a few hundred dollars but if you want to start from scratch, something like that would be ideal. I'd just see if you could google and see if there are running clubs in your area and contact them to see.

That said, I'm no running hero, I definitely don't look glamorous after 10kms like some of the runners do!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
