What are your skinny goals?



Recommended Posts

Hi Hotties!

Thought I'd start a thread where everyone can post their skinny goals and keep us updated on your progress as you meet your goal!

I'll start! I have several...

1.) Lose 40 total pounds by April 1st...more than halfway there and I still have a month!:wink:

2.) Lose 60 total pounds by June 1st...coming soon !

3.) Run the Tulsa Run this fall...it's only 5k, but I start a 12 week training program in May! I have soo much energy now, it's crazy!!

4.) Rediscover the joy in clothes shopping...I definitely am enjoying it now, but can't wait to get into even smaller sizes!!

5.) Feel good in a swimsuit! This is when I know I'll be pretty much done!:thumbup:

Ok here is my short time goals.

1. To be a size 16 teen by June 1st. for my daughter wedding on June 6th.

2. To also enjoy clothing shopping for new clothes in regular stores.

3. To be a size 14 or 12 by Oct. 1st.

1. I'd like to be in the 230 lb range by the end of March. I don't care where in that range, as long as it's below 239. (That's 5 pounds from now, so it's reasonable.) I'm hoping to be at 230 or less, but that's pushing.

2. This is a more difficult goal, but I'd like to be below 200 lbs by the end of June. That's my birthday, and I'll be turning the big 5-OH.

I could be at goal by next Christmas. Now that would be a real miracle to Celebrate.

Love this idea for a thread!

My skinny goals since day one have been:

1. Lose 50lbs by my anniversary (3-23-- I'm only 3lbs away!!)

2. Have lost 80lbs total by June (any time in June)

3. Have lost 100lbs by end of August (10 year HS Reunion)

4. Be to goal by my birthday-- my goal isn't a weight but a feeling. And being a size where I can shop in "normal" clothes stores!

Can't wait to see how everyone does with their goals! :sneaky:

Great idea, Chick. I've gotten so focused on the plateau that I'd almost forgotten about setting goals. Here are mine:

Lose 10 pounds by graduation May 9

Lose another 10 by friend's wedding in July

Be at goal by Christmas as a present to myself!

Right now my current goals are:

1.) Have a weight loss of 70lbs by April 25th. I am at 61lbs down now.

2.) I also begin training to run a 5K on July 4th. My training starts April 2nd. It's so weird to think that I actually want to run :ohmy:

3.) I bought an XL tee-shirt that I want to wear by July.

4.) I want to have a "1" in front of my clothes size by this Fall.

It's hard to think of any long term goals right now but I would love to be at goal this time next year. DH has promised me a clothes shopping spree for when that happens. So the motivation is there.

I had a NSV last weekend when I was able to sit comfortably in a movie theatre seat with my jacket on I still had room to move around.

Oh, what are my goals? I hadn't really thought about them.

I know my final goal is to weigh 137!

But short term goals...?

How about 60lbs by my birthday on June 27th. That would be 26 more lbs lost in 3 months.

Is that doable?

Well, I've lost 34 in the last 11 weeks and June 27th is 14 weeks away...Yes I can do that!

That will bring me closer to my long term goal. So I'll have 55 more to go after that.

Lets set a final date of March 2010!!!

That's losing 1.5lbs a week. Is that too fast?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
