Finally made it out of the obese BMI.... first goal met

What i've learned....

1. You don't want to eat week one.

2. You will feel much better week two if you drink your Protein shakes

3. You will stall after large amounts of fast weight loss (for me week 3)

4. you will loss again after your stall

5. you will have the munchies around week 3 & 4

6. the munchies will go away after you start eating real food again

7. I can swallow whole pills again. week one i was able to take my thyroid. Week 8 I was able to swallow TWO caps at the same time

8. I must drink plenty of Water to keep from gaining water weight

9. i must exercise

10. i can go out and lose... even mexican

11. i can have a small indulgence every now and then and still lose. (glass of wine at dinner)

12. weight loss will be no faster than before... avg. 2 - 3 lbs per week with very controlled calorie intake. No big numbers after week 3.

13. I sleep better, I feel better, I look better, I'm more fun!

14. it doesn't bother me to tell people about my surgery.

15. i like swimming suits, shorts, short sleeved shirts, strapless bras, sexy sandals with red polish pedicures, nighties (no MooMoo's).

My list will keep growing as I keep losing.

Next goal 150 (healthy weight)

final goal 120-125..... pre-age 35 weight

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.... or the two piece bikini (well maybe just for my back yard pool)

I love this list. It is like a sleeve list of commandments, and I love how positive it sounds. Keep up the awesome work! I definitely have to start setting finite goals for myself.

Congratulations on obtaining your goal. I hope to join you in the overweight category soon.
