When I started my weight loss journey back in May, I set up four mini goals to meet prior to my BIG FINALE-100 pounds lost.

Well, I just hit my last mini goal:

1) loose 50 pounds- accomplished Sept

2) get below 200-accomplished Oct

3) weigh less than my husband (184)-accomplished Nov

4) lose 75 pounds- accomplished TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what's even better....I know I will keep it off forever !!!

Even if I never make it to the 100 pound mark, I know I am so much healtheir and happier with where I am. What a great Christmas present I just gave myself, and boy does it feel gooooooooooooooood.

Thanks guys for helping me along the way

Congrats!!

You were banded on my birthday!!

I am so impressed!! Congratulations! PLEASE share with us what you feel has been your success?!?! Do you work out? Count calories or just let the band do its thing?!?!?

Your goals are EXACTLY what mine are. I have always told my husband that my goal is to weigh less then him. I'm gettin' there!!!

I love to read these kinds of posts. They inspire me. Thanks for sharing!!

Wowzers!

That is the best present you could ever give yourself, health and happiness!

Who could ask for anything more!

Thanks guys !!!! I know it sounds silly, but all I wanted was to weigh less than my husband. It's been a dream of mine for the past 12 years.

And even if I never made it to the 100 pound mark, I would still be proud of my accomplishments!

You have done a great job. I also want to know your secret. Did you exercise, count calaries, what?

Congtrats, you've done amazingly well. You go girl!!!!!!!!!

really, no secret at all. I try to eat only healthy/diet type foods first (yogurts/cottage cheese/chicken/fish, etc), and very rarely will have room for anything else. I drink a TON of water, so that helps. I can't say I am a big fan of exercise, so that's out. I am also pretty aggessive about getting fills. I think I have had a total of 7 so far (2.6 cc in a 4cc band). I just know I need more fill when I find it takes alot more to get me full !!! I think this last may just be it for a while. Thanks again for evryones kind words

Awesome! What a wonderful holiday gift for you and all who love you!

YAHOOOIE, Congratulations

You did all that in 6 months! Kudos! I like the idea of giving yourself mini goals to keep motivation going. Here's what I want to do... in a local mall here they have a Williams-Burke spa. I think a massage every 25lbs isn't excessive.... for a 100lb weight loss that would mean 4 visits . So, you have some catch-up to do with 3 and 1 to go! Tell hubby! You do us all proud and your true story a blessing.

Thank You.

Congratulations!!! That is one of my goals as well and I Just 20 more pounds to go. You go gurl got us all inspired!!!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing, this is what I love to see (and wish I saw more of) on this forum!

WTG!!!!! You are absolutely an inspiration and a really positive role model for us to follow. Setting the mini goals is such a wonderful idea, it really helps keep the motivation going doesn't it? It's wonderful to hear how happy you are and how well you are feeling.

Happy Holidays to you and your family!
