I figured out my ultimate WLS goal

I realized this morning that I am not shooting for a specific number on the scale or a specific size clothing. I want energy and mobility. I just want to be able to get up on the weekend and have plenty of energy to accomplish all the chores I want and need to, and have energy and the fluid and graceful mobility to play and run around in this world experiencing what I want to experience. I want energy and mobility, and everything else that is positive that comes out of this, will just be nice extras.

I'm right along beside you! I want to add that I don't want to sleep for hours because I'm pooped from doing things...I want to play with my kids and not be winded, sore or achy...not having to take pain meds would be a great addition too!

In my opinion, you have the best mind set for success! If you set a number of any type and have it in your mind that is the only way to succeed, you may be sorely disappointed in yourself. Even if you are doing great feeling better! Good luck!!

What a great attitude! Everyone should feel this way, after all, what do we want to lose the weight for - to get around better and feel more healthy! You eloquently put this into words, I would say you are well on your way towards success!

Thanks for sharing and good luck!! :rolleyes:
