What are you doing when you hit goal?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to put together a list of what I want to do once I hit goal. I know I will only be able to do one of them so I thought I would ask so I can get ideas.

Here are some that I have come up with:

1. Trip to Mall of America for shopping spree

2. Vacation (we normally go to the caribbean so maybe like Scotland or Italy)

Any other ideas?

I'm going to party like it's 1999! OK, actually like it's 1989...since that's the last time I was at my goal weight. I'll have to look back at the short-term goals thread and see if I actually put a "final" reward there.

The family portrait sounds like a great idea. I'd definitely do that.

I'll also visit my family in Puerto Rico and take a well-deserved vacation. Or go on a cruise. A vacation that I can TRULY enjoy.

I want to have a big family portrait taken (with the grandkids and in laws).................one I will be proud to display

I've been holding off on the family portrait as well. BTW that's a great quote on your signature!

I also want to meet face to face all the people I've been avoiding the last 5 years! There's lots of people I only talk to threw e-mail or the phone and I hate it!

I"m a shopper fat or not....but, it's going to be so much more fun at goal!:biggrin:

Mely - I love the photo idea!

Lana - I remember 1999 and hopefully I will be smaller than I was so I can party too!

Laura - Maybe we will meet each other there. I am hoping to make it sometime in the spring next year, but it all depends on how fast I am losing. I could NEVER do what your daughter does. Good for her!

Jessenia - I think we all need a vacation!

Cutie - I avoided one of my HS reunions because I was so embarressed by my size. I like your idea.

General - NC is beautiful. I hope someday to move there.

Jason - I cannot do without the shirt in the US, but maybe on my trip to Europe. I am sure your son will love having you ride the go carts. We have a slider track here that I have not tried as I was worried if I would fit. Hopefully I can soon.

Thanks everyone for your ideas!

Hi, I have been thinking about short and long term goals. I set my first short term at the weight (249) because I haven't been able to break 250 since I put the last 100 lbs of this on 12 years ago. I got my nails done and have a plan to keep them done as long as I am meeting my weekly goals. After that my rewards are in 25 lbs increments with increasing rewards, at 225 I am going to get my hair professionally colored by someone who can do what I want not just what I could normally afford. At some point my reward will be new clothes but I will probably stick with thrift stores until I am really close to the final goal.

My serious rewards are

riding roller coasters with my children (I want to find a new park that we have never experienced before and go for it.)

getting on the bone marrow donor list (I tried to get on this list in 1998 when my weight first sky rocketted and was turned down because of it. It will be my first stop when I am under 175.)

In His hands!

I'm meeting some girlfriends from all over the country at Disneyland where we will be staying at their nicest hotel and having dinner at Club 33, a very exclusive members only restaurant inside Disneyland, my friend has a friend that can get us in. The date is set next August so I need to get that scale moving!

I want to get some sort of tattoo with some significance to what I've accomplished, I don't know what it will be yet. I will also be shopping like there's no tomorrow, I can't wait to wear cute clothes!

I started out at 275, when I reach 225 I'm getting my hair colored and cut, and when I reach 200 husband is buying me another Coach purse. Now if I get my bottom goal of 150 I'll have to think of something really amazing for us to do.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
