That is such a great goal to look forward too! Have you anything planned for your Anniversary? This would be a good time to plan something special. Maybe a quiet get-a-way.

Once I reach 275, this will be a milestone for me because it was the weight I was when I was beginning to have my children. I remember not wanting to tell my weight to the hospital in front of my husband because I did not want him to know how overweight I was. Now, my oldest child is 14; so that is a long time.

Also, the 60lb milestone was big for me because I have never gone beyond 60lbs and maintained it and with my Band I know that I am going to pass 60lbs and keep it off. I am looking forward the 3/4 quarter century mark with a aggressive passion.

Mini goals are great for motivation aren't they. Good luck!

Cindy

Supposedly DH says he's planning something...says he has been planning since Christmas. We'll see. Past anniversaries haven't been much to look forward to as far as anything special, I'm sad to say. Last anniversary I planned because I was sick of waiting to see if he would do something to Celebrate us. I can't totally blame him - he's been married a few times before me and they weren't anything to Celebrate, so I think he was just in a rut. LOL Hopefully he got the hint from last year.

That made me a little sad about not wanting to say your weight at the hospital in front of your DH. The only reason I say that is because we can be so dang hard on ourselves and it's obvious he loves you very much if he was wanting to have babies with you. If only we could see ourselves through the eyes of love that DHs have. I'm excited for you to reach your goals!

Ok, I'm in, but no way can i keep up with your impressive double digt expectations. I'm on the slow losers thread, have no restriction and after six weeks ready to eat a house!

so if I make the six pound loss, I'll be thrilled!

It seems to me like you're doing great! You are right on track for 2 lbs per week of losing, which is medically recommended. I'm sure you'll reach that 6 lb goal! Keep up the good work!

So when do we update? My weigh in is on Monday, so I updated below. But, I am wondering if I was supposed to, or if I should wait until next week (I think this thread started mid week)?

I think we're all updating weekly? That's what I gathered. Cindy is going to start a new thread each week for us to update our totals. I was excited to update my one pound yesterday...but then I realized, how much more fun it'll be for me to report several lbs when I update it. I'm right there with you - I'd like to update mine right now! LOL I'm weighing myself everyday because Onederland is so close I can almost taste it and I can't wait to see that dang number on my scale!!! WTG on the lb!

I kind of know what you mean about our DH's. I love mine to death, he is my best friend but in the romance department he isn't that romantic. However, we are going to PA for buying trip for our stores at the end of the month and we will be gone a week without the kids. I am looking forward to some us time. Even though it will be busy, we will have quite a bit of down time so hopefully we can reconnect.

Funny thing is now he knows how much I weigh and he does love me for who I am because he married me when I was overweight. I weighed 260lbs when we met. When he proposed which was on Valentines day in 1990; I decided that I was going to lose weight for the wedding which was in October 1990. Well, I lost about 40lbs and got to 220lbs and was a size 16. It was the thinnest I had been in as long as I could remember.

Even now, I can't see myself lower than 220lbs. My goal is 175 but I am going to lose until I feel good. I will let my body dictate my final weight.

I moved my fill up to Jan 15th from the 17th. scale won't budge! I am drinking all day and having a small dinner to help things!

One bottle of Isopure CLEAR and one small glass of V-8 juice so far today. Wanted an Atkins shake but we're out. I think my husband is getting some.

If I don't get some restriction on Tues, I think I've reached the stage where I'm lucky if I stay the same weight until I reached some level of restriction, even for a short time.

UGH!

I was on shakes and fluids yesterday until 6pm then had a normal dinner. I went for a walk this morning so the scales went down 1 lb... I put on a couple during my binge eating over the holidays but it's better off than on. I will do the shakes and fluids again today and see how I go. Can't wait to get my next fill on 23rd ... :faint:

      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!!
