Recommended Posts

Hi,

Today was my birthday and I am feeling a little down. I was hoping to get under 200 pounds by today and I missed a goal. Plus I ate way too much this weekend and I know I will gain weight. Also I have been on a plateau for 2 1/2 weeks and gained two pounds from my all time low of 208. So this is my new resolution to get below 200:

I will up my exercise from 2-3 hours a week

I will drink more Water

No cheating or making bad food choices

My desire is to get below 200 by August 23rd 2004.

Happy Birthday Babs!

Don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing fabulously. Look at how much you've lost in a year! That's incredible.

Having goals - and mini-goals - is great. But make them realistic. If you've really gained back 2 pounds, then at this point in the game, making a one-month goal of losing 10 pounds, seems a little tight. Don't set yourself up for "failure".

You're doing fabulous! You've lost 126!!!!

Enjoy your birthday. Really 39???? Hope you stay there forever!

Mary

Happy Birthday Babs

Don't beat your self up. By reading your goals I do not think they are unrealistic if you stick to following all of those It is possible to lose 8 pounds by August 23rd..You Can Do It! There is a post here for a "weekly scale challenge" that I strated last week..join us it really does help to only weigh once a week and it also helps to have others doing it with you . Maybe that will help you??

Happy Birthday, Babs!

Hey, maybe your weekend splurge will burst you right out of your plateau! Do a search, there are some great threads on this board re: plateau!

But really, you are doing great! Stick with your goals!

Babs. You've done awesome. I think we share almost the same surgery date and I've only lost half that. I'm sure you've worked twice as hard as I have too. You've done wonderfull! Don't discount how great 126 lbs is. Happy Birthday!! (btw, we nearly share the same b-day too. Mine was yesterday. I was 44. :cool: )

Happy Birthday Babs!!!

You are doing so great! I know that platues are disappointing and frustrating and just plain 'NOT FAIR'... BUT you really should give yourself more credit. You have lost over 100lbs and that is FANTASTIC!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!

I had set some goals for my 39th as well (my b-day is in May) and I didn't reach them, but you know what... tomorrow is a new day and hey by this time next year you will most likely be celebrating your birthday at GOAL!

Take care, enjoy your day and celebrate! :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny :banana :Bunny

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the warm wishes. Yes, I am hard on myself. Just want to see a glimpse of onederland. I am pretty sure I dont need another fill at this stage. My last one was in January and it seems to be working OK. It just gets harder to lose the weight when you get closer to goal.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
