Oooooh I've got a whole wardrobe of clothes which will be like buying new outfits - only it won't cost anything :)

I have an ultimate goal at 45kg (almost 100lbs) loss (and will take a few years to save for), to go to America. I want to go to the Bishops mule days and also to compete in a pack burro race. Yeeha! :D

At my goals, I'm going to start learning to sew my own clothes since I'll be at the size where I no longer have to alter patterns to fit me. So learning a new skill to help outfit me for my new weight will be my goal. Not sleeved yet, have at least 6 months until then, but I know what I want. xD

I have a beautiful piece of fabric that I got for a song (literally) to make into a skirt. I'm holding off until I get closer to my new weight. Glad I didn't start it before deciding on wls.

I haven't even thought about gifts to myself yet. But definitely 100 down, I'll get a new wardrobe that isn't full of band t-shirts, granny panties, and cheap jeans from Walmart. Totally excited. And I think once I hit goal, I'll need some booby adjustments. :) huzzah to the new me! :)

Scaredy Cat - what a great question! I haven't really thought about goals along the way. My overall goal is to lose 135 pounds.

Next summer I really, really, really want to be able to get up on a slalom ski again. I used to be a very avid water-skier (slalom, barefoot, etc). I tried to get up on 2 skis last summer and no way. It was horrible. So next summer, I'm going to buy a slalom ski like I used to have and get up on the 1st try!

My husband and I are both SCUBA divers so I see a great dive trip in our future next summer too.

But I'm going to give some thought to some mini-rewards along the way - thanks for the idea!

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I love all of the goals you've set for yourself. I'm only 1 week 3 days post op and have lost 17 pounds:)) I am so excited and can't wait to see the new me! I know for sure that I will be saving up for a body lift and maybe a boob job too. But the smaller rewards, well, just being with my family and spending time with them is enough. You see, I struggle with RA too so this surgery is really important to me.

I used to sew dresses & did a jumper & some shorts for myself when I was in high school. Then I got too fat for the patterns. :} I dare say you have inspired me...

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
