goal_will_be_met

I haven't been on here in a long while. I lost my dad to cancer this past November and then delt with the whole flu...I just haven't felt much like doing anything. I haven't lost anymore weight but I haven't gained either. In fact lately I have been so on board that I am trying to find good easy fast ways to lose weight...When in fact there really isn't much to it. Just healthy eating and exercise. I hate exercising because its not fun to me and it hurts...I have to remind myself that if it were easy everyone would do it. I am trying to get better with my food and have been doing well...I am still having a hard time getting enough calories in. I am drinking and eating every 3 hours but Still not enough...This weekend I plan on buying more veggies and fruit..Time to get real and time to quit feeling sorry for myself. I am ready for this and have been. I shouldn't stop because my dad wouldn't want me too. I wanna do this because this is for me no one else.

I never thought that I could be on the verge of meeting my ultimate weightloss goal. I was just doing some thinking and realized that I am about 35 pounds away from my first goal and 51 pounds away from my ultimate goal and for the first time ever I can honestly say that I am going to get there and I will succeed. I have come so far this year to stop now. Even tho we have up's and down's that just gives you all the more reason to really concentrate on you! This last week was really tough for me but I also realize it could have been way worse then what it was. For that I am very grateful. It also just gives me that extra push to really get myself even more in shape. I know that I can do this and I want it even more. I need to take some pictures of me now and post more. I feel great and I don't even know when the last time was when I was this small. Its been along time that is for sure. I am so proud of myself and everything I have accomplished. I feel that great things are still in store and I just gotta keep positive because its gonna happen. In other news I wanted to lose 10 pounds by Aug 1 because we are going on a trip and I am 2 pounds away from that goal! Very proud of me! Thats all for now :wub: :ph34r:

Yea thats right I am gonna punch you food right in the face! I am sick and tired of you always winning and in this long hard battle we are enduring is over. I am fianlly taking over my life. Its not live to eat but eat to live. Your just there to nourish me and keep me going. I am sick of letting you consume me when in the long run it does NO good. I am miserable and just sitting and regretting oh why did I do that. Well, no more regrets I am getting healthy and you can just move on. I no longer will hide and make myself feel bad because I will continue to do all the right things and in the end when I am standing on top I will reach my healthy goal weight and live longer and continue to have an amazing life. So Food I give you the middle finger and say buh bye. I will only need you to nourish my body!

Funny I woke up pumped today gonna get my workout in and then as the day progressed I got sleepy took a nap got up and was just like forget it. I was just like whatever not in the mood screw it. Then I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I did. I workedout for an hour I just changed it up. I have many workout games for the Xbox Kinect and the Wii. I figured I should add those in along with what I am doing try and make it fun that way I don't give up. I am getting bored with the same ol same. I am really glad I got a workout in. Normally I would take Saturdays off but I haven't worked out this week like I should so I decided to get it in today. I also went ahead and created my menu for tomorrow and get that all laid out that wayall I have to do is grab and eat. Less thinking will help with not over doing it. I think when I don't plan that is where I have the most trouble but we shall see. Regardless its all about baby steps... I need to realize that I am not just going to blink and POOF its gone...I lost the first 67 pounds easily now its time to really do the work. Anyway I hope all have a great rest of your weekend and all that jazz

Well, Hello to you that is currently reading this. My name is Kanda and I am 31 married with one son. I had my lapband on October 27th and have lost 67 pounds. Lately, I have been stuck in a rut but today I wake up and realize life is great and I will succeed. I am hoping to find others that want some buddies no matter where we live because lets face it...we are the only one's that know what its like going thru this whole ordeal. Our struggles and our positives. I live in Colorado but am from Texas. I have to say even tho lately I've been sorta down...This is the best thing I have done for myself. I suffer from PCOS so that does not help when trying to lose weight. anyway I hope to meet people that just want to vent or be cheered on so Good luck to all of us!! :wub:

LOVE THIS!!

It's all about baby steps and I finally reached a simple minor goal. That was to get at least a one workout this weekend because I tend to skip the entire weekend all together well I did it!. I worked out for 40 mins and I feel pretty darn good about it! :wub: I think my negativity and problem is wanting it all right now and over doing it. So I figured babysteps and I will get there in due time. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel good and thats all that matters so Keep on Keeping on!!

The pounds go down on the scale...so it's been awhile since I've been on or blogged but just a quick update. I haven't had a fill since December... which was great at first then I got to the point where I was throwing up then ok then throwing up then ok... Not wanting to waste the co-pay and not get a fill I just decided to go it on my own.. Come late April/May I evidently hit my sweet spot because I've lost more weight in the last 3 months than I've lost the entire time I've had my band. I was starting to feel like I was a band failure hovering at the same weightloss since 6 months out of surgery... not really gaining, but not losing either.. or if I gained 10lbs losing it (hormonal) then just balancing out at the same range..
 
So now I am 1 yr 7 months out since surgery, it's been 8 months since my last fill and about 2.5 to 3 months since I hit my "sweet spot" I no longer HAVE to shop in fat girl stores, I am now able to shop in the skinny girl stores even if it's they're biggest size, it fits... So now my band is just truly giving me portion control...the way it's intended and now I'm losing losing losing.. I've also stopped weighing myself since the 1st...So I have absolutely no idea what I weigh at this point but everyone keeps telling me how I look like I've lost so much weight and I actually see the changes on an almost daily basis.
 
I guess I've just stopped worrying about it and just doing my best to live right and eat clean... always room for improvement and it's a process but it's getting better everyday! Hope you're all doing well.
