In order to be thin in 2010, what are your commitments?



Recommended Posts

Yes, I love making New Years' Resolutions every year and it's New Years Eve, so I need to start thinking about my commitments. My thoughts include committing to:

1. Some type of cardio/strength training 5X per week.

2. Drinking 64 oz of Water.< /p>

3. Taking my Vitamins (vitaband) every day

4. Limit my favorite slider foods (ice cream, candy, cookies) to one day per week only.

So...what are your commitments on this journey to good health in 2010?

My resolution is to be as healthy as possible this year. I commit to:

1) Cardio 4xwk and Strength training 3 x wk (6days per week)

2) Follow band eating rules concentrating on quality Protein first. Chewing well and eating slowly.

3) Work on complusive eating issues and "head hunger" issues.

4) Limit slider foods (cookies, ice cream...) to one day per week. A designated "cheat day".

I can't make resolutions. They bring too much depression and guilt when I cheat or fail. Also, I am a guy and we hate commitment. :lol:

First of all, I am committed to strengthening my prayer life and thanking God for His many blessings in my life.

I am committed to doing the very best I can so that my health will continue to improve and my weight will continue to come down.

Exercise, healthy food choices, listen to my stomach (instead of my head) to tell me when I'm done eating

First and foremost, for myself personally I have to plan, plan and plan some more. I am an extremely detailed and organized person. I cannot allow myself to be spontaneous in any way or I will stray.

I have everything mapped out, even to the point on what time of day I will eat anything. I know what I’m going to eat as well.

The same is true for my workout routine. No wiggle room. At all! I am allowed a few days per month where I can make a dinner of my choosing or Breakfast or lunch too. I have to mark it off though on a spreadsheet to show myself that the option has been used. I do leave it open though because as we all know in life “things come up”. Otherwise I’m on plan and doing my thing.

I will be thin in 2010, there is no doubt. I have all my bases covered this time, more than any other time in my life.

Cheers!! Happy New You!!

First is to get banded no matter what on Jan 27th, I have been putting it off for work for the last 8 months.

Stick to cardio...I love weights so that is not a problem.

Drop 100 LBS in 2010. (Yeah, I know i should not be so agressive, but I have to in my mind.)

Cingulus, you can do that easy and then some. First of all, men lose weight really fast. Secondly it seems you have your priorities is check and that is going to help tremendously.

Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.

I agree with LMD.

I started at 365 and have lost 60 pounds barely trying in a little more than 3 months.

100 pounds in a year for a 350 pound man should be quick as long as there are no big slips.

I've decided to break down into small resolutions this year (instead of giving myself a whole year to do something and then procrastinate until the end of the year...)...SO that being said:

2010 Resolutions:

1. workout EVERY DAY in January..even if it's just a half hour walk.......

2. lots of Water and using my band to its fullest potential

3. getting another big fill on 1/27/10 :lol:

4. reach 185 by 2/14/10

I just had my third fill yesterday, so now i'm at 7.5cc's in a 14cc band...YAY! What a great way to start off the new year!

WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!!!!!! Goodluck everyone!

ROFL.

I normally don't make resolutions for the same reason...although I am *not* a guy and not afraid of commitment. :biggrin:

Making a resolution about losing weight is a bit too much like dieting for me and I've sworn never to diet again.

I don't make promises to myself either. It almost always leads me to failure. However, I can say one thing. I plan to keep doing what I am doing and never to go back to my old self again.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
