GOAL

You know how those Soccer announcers can stretch out saying GOAL for about a minute? I just did that. I made my goal, well sort of. My bathroom scale has me 1 lb above goal, but my WII fit has me at .3 below. I'll wait till my home scale says my goal before I move it on the graph below. But the WII fit congratulated me on makeing my goal, so I figured I would celebrate. Both scales have been consistent. I entered the program last August at 273, XL shirt 42" waist. I was banded in December. today My goal was 195 Large shirt and 36" waist. I'm comfortably wearing 34" jeans today despite it not being casual Friday. Do they still make jeans that have the waist size on the back label?

Way to go Bill!!! Wow, you've done amazingly well.

Too cute about the jean size.

congrats bill!

Congrats on reaching goal, Bill. I think Levis still puts the waist size on the back outside label so you can announce it to the world. You deserve some reconition for your hard work!

CONGRATS BILL ...YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!!! ...yes, that's me yelling so you can hear me from Missouri!

Way to go!

If they don't make you a patch and sew it on the outside of the back of your waistband so everyone will know! Ha Ha Yeah to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's official, my home scale and the WII fit have me below goal. Today is jeans day! Tonight is my wife's 30th reunion (She is down 120) Should be a good day.

Congratulations!

Bill, how was your wife's reunion? My 25th is this fall and it will be the first one I've ever attended. I was too embarassed about my size before, I was so skinny in HS.

Hope you guys had a great time. I'm really looking forward to mine!

It went very well. It was at a nice place, My wife's best friend from school was there and she also brought her husband. He and I have become acquainted. We pretty much sat and talked all night and let the wives circle the floor. The most fun part, for me anyway, I hadn't eaten dinner so I ordered an appetizer and ate as I have been recently. We ended up being there till midnight and they brought out appetizers. I let myself eat more than I would have knowing I was a pound below my goal and that I had a 5K scheduled for the morning. (New personal record )

At 150, you will still be one of the skinny ones.

Ha, I sure hope so. I'm going with a girl I knew in HS who works with my daughter. My DH and hers haven't met, but I'm hoping they'll hit it off too. Actually my DH gets along with everyone, he's another reason I'm looking forward to it.

Glad you had a good time. How was the 5k? I ran a couple of them before my foot surgery, but now I'm sidlined and it's killing me.

Congrats on your Goal!!!

Awesome, way to go!!!!!

Well, its been more than a month, I have shifted my diet slightly, but not much. During this time, I've had a week off and a holiday, those are the tougher times as my routine gets broken. Since the day I was one pound below my goal, I have spent the majority of the time 1-3 pounds above my goal. After my week's vacation I did go all the way up to 4.9 pounds above goal (199.9 ) But I've been very consistent at 197 most of the time. I guess my new goal is to stay between 195 and 200 all winter.

Get it Bill! Now is the the true battle, maintaining. We are all here for you.

Almost 3 months at goal. I still weigh myself everyday. My weight hasn't been outside of the 195-200 range since making goal in July. The 200 pound mark is a good reminder, if I get too close, I get back on track. Since I've made goal I would say my average weight is 197. I'm wearing those Levis with the 34 on the tag, so I'm happy.
