Under goal, what next?



Recommended Posts

Ok I am three pounds under my goal weight YAY and 3 lbs away from 100lbs toatal!!!!! Triple YAY, but now I am like what do I do? Do I set a new goal? HOnestly the most exercise I have done is the crap I do on kinect, so I am thinking of trying my hand at working out to tone and firm, bc I wear a pant size higher than I am supposed to due to my belly skin......yuck! I have considered plastics, but they make me feel vain since I haven't lifted a finger to naturally try and get rid of the flab. People are begining to say "don't lose anymore weight" but I am like if I lose another 7 lbs I am cool with it. My weight loss has slowed down tremendously as I have been eating in a maintenance mode, but I still lose at least 1 lb a week. I am nine months out and reached goal at 6 1/2 months. Ahhhhhh what to do? :huh:

First of all, congrats!!!

My surgery is in 2 days, so I can't speak from experience--yet--but I think that I would focus on making exercise a lifelong habit (finding out which physical activities I enjoy the most and discovering new ones) because I think that regular exercise is a key component to maintaining the weight loss. I also know that when I exercise regularly I tend to eat healthier because for whatever reasons my body craves healthier foods. Plus, there's the added benefit that your body will look even nicer when it's toned. Besides the fitness stuff, I would want to find the right balance in my diet to maintain my weight loss and beyond that, just enjoy life!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
