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! :cursing:

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.

Bill, that is great – keep it up.

I hit my weight goal a few weeks ago (101 lb loss from 285 to 184). I was wearing XXXL Shirts and 44 pants. Now I’m in M shirts and 32-34 pants. My new goal has shifted from weight to Body Fat. The work in the gym is really starting to pay off in that regard. I started out about 3 months ago at 22% and am now under 17%. I feel like I am only a week or two away from my Body Fat goal of 15%. I know that I will need to find another goal at that point because scratching off goals seems to be my major motivating factor. I am thinking about dropping my Body Fat to 13% as a tough goal to shoot for.
