I want to know what Goals everyone has. I don't mean weight goals. Like goals of getting into that pair of jeans or that mini skirt or swim suite. or possibly your CRUSH! Anything that you see yourself doing that you now want and it is so close. Like mine is to be able to use my Wii Fit and then after that telling me i am not obese :bored:

Hello Ralop and welcome to LBT!

Um, let's see... I would just love to be able to run again. I have two knee surgeries to get through and get myself to a reasonable weight that my knees can sustain the shock.

Sounds great to me!

I agree, no longer being obese is a great prize. :thumbup:

A lapband friend recently gave me two pairs of size 16 jeans and one is a Calvin Klein pair and I have them hanging on my bedroom door for motivation. I remember Oprah being so proud fitting into I think size 10 Calvin Kleins and I'll be just as proud to get into a 16 in jeans. I'm at the size 20-22 now and started with some of my pants in 30/32 so I can't wait!

I'm getting married in 3 years (a long time, I know...:thumbup:). I want to be able to walk into Vera Wang and fit in any gown in the store. Also, my brother is getting married in 2 years, and I want to be just as beautiful as the other bridesmaids in the wedding (and again, fit into a really beautiful dress). Can't wait to be a normal size!!

I too hate that Wii - OBESE...like I need a computer to remind me!

I have an old pair of jeans that I really want to wear.

I want to go to weddings/functions in something that doesn't resemble a tablecloth.

I want to look good in pictures.

Someday I want to have children.

Those are my goals.

I want to be able to walk down and up the same trail at the Grand Canyon that my husband and I walked down and up the summer we first met and fell in love--we're going to Celebrate our 20th anniversary by going back to the Grand Canyon next summer--I know I'll be 20 years older, but I think that 47 years old is not too old (I know people way older than 47 who run up and down Pikes Peak--mountain near where I live--elev. 14,000 ft!). Also, I want to scuba dive again.

These are really great goals. My biggest goal of all time is not to shop at Casual Male!!!!! that will make me feel really great and plus those clothes are way to expensive, like 28 dollars for a shirt.

So many...where do I start?

*I want to sit on my husband's lap...comfortably :thumbup:

*I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and not care who else is around.

*I want to be able to borrow clothes from people and not be embarrassed because they don't fit

All of these are attainable....just need to keep it up. I am down 50 pounds and in a size 14 now...won't be too long for some of these goals to come to fruition!

      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!!
