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?

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!

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.

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.

      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
