Half way to Goal Hell Yeah



Recommended Posts

We as of today's visit to the Dr Office I am halfway to my goal. So I started at 330 pounds on January 11th, and today I was at 265. 65 pounds in just under six months. I actually went in for a small un-fill because I am leaving on a 14 day Alaskan trip and I wanted to be able to eat a little bit. I almost kissed the nurse who was weighing me in. Boy that would have been a awkward moment.

You know there have been many times I have felt like a complete failure, and so frustrated because I work so hard at times, and sabotage myself at others. Lately I especially felt like the scales were not moving at all. But when I got on the scale and realized I had lost 20 pounds since May 14th I finally felt like i really could succeed.

I reached halfway too a few days ago and it is an indescribable feeling. I had high hopes for the Band (and myself) when I started this journey, but now I think I finally believe that I will reach my goal.

Congrats!!! Looking forward to seeing you, and all of the New Year's Knockouts, at the finish line.

Congrats-- good job! I still have a ways to go to get to the half-way point, but I feel like it's in sight. Have fun on vacation. We went in early June and those "liquid calories" really are a hindrance, but in the past I would have gained 10 pounds and this year I pretty much stayed the same.

That is awesome! I am certain the nurse gets that a lot, being that she weights people in who are losing weight!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
