For 10 years my NYR has been to lose weight. I busted my butt, I exercised all the time, kept calories at 600 a day. I lost 100% of my excess weight.

I'm taking this coming year off.

>> I am through with tight, uncomfortable jeans--reminds me of when I was forever outgrowing all my clothes.

>> I will not use the handicapped stall in public restrooms just because there's more "elbow" room. I don't have fat elbows.

I am not banded yet and going thru the process. This year, I will give up soda. I figure it is not a good thing to have when I am banded, so no need for it now. I currently drink about 6cans a day, sometimes more or less. It sure won't hurt giving it up now. I can only imagine how hard it will be. I think it is the carbonation that has me addicited, not the caffeine. I will still have my coffee in the morning. Have a wonderful holiday!

Mine is going to be getting my house in order to sell.

School, weight loss, being a momma, being a sweetie, being a good daughter/sister is all covered.

I feel like I'm honing myself, not making giant changes.

Unfortunately, once again my NYR is to lose weight. I thought last year would be the last time, but I had so many problems with my band last year that it just didn't happen. But, things seem to be going fine now, so this year's resolution will be to take the remaining weight off.

I am so excited that I am going to start the year off banded!! It is going to be the best beginning of a new year in a long time. In 2008 I am going to work on losing at least 80 lbs, selling my book, and being a better mom and wife.

I'm with the some of the above. I am determined this is going to be my last Weight related New Year's resolution. But alas, my resolution is to finally start some serious exercise as opposed to walking around a mall once or twice a week and calling it exercise. And to lose whatever remaining weight I decide I need to lose. Sorry about being so vague on the second one but I just don't know how I will know what my goal weight will be until I'm finally there. Right now it feels like around 15-20 pounds but I just don't know.

My NYR will be to simplify my life, mainly my surroundings. Stop stock piling, clean closets, drawers, garage...go through everything and throw that crap away!!

Travel more, worry less, enjoy the second half of my life. Looking forward to new memories!

You know that was one I had last year, to unclutter my world.

I picked an area a month. Like kitchen cabinets, basement shelves, closets....

It worked like a charm for the first 6 months, I need to put that back on my list!

Mine is to get banded and sort out my health issues. After 15 years I've finally been diagnosed with PCOS and found a gyno prepared to help me - yes it has taken 15 years to find a Dr who is listening to me. Next is to be checked for endo.

My Mother was diagnosed as diabetic 2 days ago and I'm not going through that. So roll on 2008 so I can get banded.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
