I have a number of 135 I got from a chart but the only person I ever discussed a goal with was my trainer. He told me it all depends on what I want as the fat comes off..do I want a bit more muscle or do I want to be lean or toned etc. so we decided I would get to 150 and then we would talk about it again. I actually want to be a bit more muscular..not freaky just nicely athletic!

What the hell kind of synthetic drug do you make with a cheese grater and strainer.

My hair is coming out like crazy and some days I cry because I feel like everyone can tell. Then I look in the mirror and Celebrate my 51 pound loss and think that it is a small price to pay for a whole new me.

Could he file under FMLA? If not your hubby's boss is a d**k and he should rethink wanting to be promoted there!

I was going to try this..then I said you b*****s be crazy!!!
I know myself and know this is not for me.

If someone left a parking spot would you think it is too harsh to take it?!?!?
You were in the right!!!

You need to get out of your own head girlie!!!! We are our own worst critics..every day our bodies are undergoing such an amazing transformation and yes I know sometimes it is hard to think of yourself as "being thin" or "looking good" but you have to start somewhere!!!
This is going to sound so freaking off the wall but I have been building myself a positive reinforcement fortress...so like I have sticky notes on my mirror saying things like "You are beautiful" or "Keep up the great work" or on my fridge that say.."Do you really want that crap you are about to put in your mouth". I also do a mental kind of exercise in bed before I go to sleep..where I visualize a part of my body and like mentally admire it..
Before you go running to call the white coat guys..just try it..we are are own worst critics but something a therapist taught me is that we are also our best and most awesome cheerleaders. It is all perspective.

For me it is a combination of both. Physically I am able to do more, go longer, have better flexibility..but my self confidence is through the roof. Especially seeing the effect I have on my boyfriend with a pair of sexy panties or a pretty bra. My body is my body..he loved it before I had the surgery and he loves it after. He actually makes a point of kissing and rubbing my scars to let me know that he loves them as part of me. Don't hide it..they are your reminder that you will not go back to the way you were.
Ancient warriors used to mark themselves before going into battle or after battle with the number of kills they made..yes I know this is a bit of an extreme reference but this is a battle for me everyday..pound for pound..all the blood, sweat and tears I go through. I wear my scars like that...

This is a fantastic idea!!
I bought mine from Lands End. Pricey but they had styles to accommodate what I wanted

I want to be a gym rat..those guys are hot

I have been upping my calories and Protein over the course of the last month. I get in around 1100 calories a day now with an average of 115 grams of protein a day. I get in all my Water for sure too. I am losing around 1.5 to 2 pounds per week but I don't stress the loss, I know myself and my body..I can't go back to the time where we ate 500 to 700 calories a day. I also exercise 5 to 6 days a week, mix of strength training and cardio. I recently switched up my cardio to include running and just not water aerobics.

Please no one take this with any offense..but every time I see I have lost XX pounds without exercising I want to seriously like punch kittens!
/rant off
*Meow*

My boyfriend tried to tell me if he ate a lot of pineapple then it would be sweeter.
I told him I wasn't that desperate for Protein..he also likes the boob shots lol

You guys look beautiful!!!

I guess then I am confused on why you elected to have surgery. Thinking your body was not going to change as a result of weight loss is not realistic I know you wish it came off in other places but you can't control that..no one can.
