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.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
