Resolutions vs. Goals



Recommended Posts

For the first time that I can remember I did not make any resolutions. In the last 7 months of 2008 I quit smoking, quit Diet Pepsi, quit caffeine and lost 74 pounds...I figure that is more than I have ever accomplished in all of my previous resolutions combined.

I do still have my original goal to reach my target weight by March 20th which is around 10 monts total. I think I can do it too!

Congrats Jodi!!!!

I would like to lose at least another 50lbs which would get me to 100 total...and depending on what it looks like maybe lose some more LOL!!! I am no longer concerned with categories like Obese etc. as much as how I feel, how I look, and making sure my vitals and cholesterol/bp looks good!

I also want to feel good in a swim suit and maybe take some professional pics on a beach or something.

Also graduate from grad school (hopefully be done in May pray for me!!) and get a better job!

Congrats Jodi!!!!! So happy for you!

I just want to graduate from grad school! I am done in May, amen! I am not a fan of my undergraduate graduation pictures lol so I will be taking some hot ones this year! My goal for this year is to lose 60 pounds which puts me at 156 and at my height of 5'9 I hope to look ok, not too slim! My resolution, is to not be so hard on myself! I need to put myself first and start to appreciate who I am! I also hope to find myself some real L-O-V-E ugh man, tsk tsk, who can understand them?

I would really like to be committed to working out consistantly, eating right and loosing at least 70. I haven't lost much, and its been a bit discouraging. I just want to be successful with this process. I am praying that God will help me. In addition, I want to take my social work licensing exam, and then look at come certificates or possibly another masters.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
