First mini goal ...... check!



Recommended Posts

I hit my first mini-goal ..... and a week before I had planned on hitting it!! under 200 in less than 3 months! As of this morning-- I am under 200! Goodbye 200's we were friends/enemies for along time... but I will NEVER see you again!! :)

As great as this feels-- I am also in PANIC mode:cursing:...I am getting married in May 2010... and talking to the bridal shop I have to go in and pick out/order my dress this month.... I have no idea what to do-- what size to order? how much can it be taken up??? not only that, body wise, I really wasn't ready to try on dresses cause I know I will leave there crying about how big I still am!!

If anyone has any advise on dealing with this-- please let me know what you did about ordering your wedding dress!

Until the 21st...(my appointment at the bridal shop) I am just gonna do a happy dance that I am under 200!!! :tongue2:

TCarroll, welcome to Onederland!!

As for the dress, how close to wedding date could you pick one out? I don't know if you have your heart set on a certain one or not, but I went with a friend to dress shop, we went to David's Bridal and she picked her dress out and we took it home the same day. It just needed some tweaks for custom fit, but would be doable in a pinch.

My advise would be to cancel that appt because you will be NOTHING like you are now by May. Just shop in April and buy a dress that is very snug, then if you have to make a last minute nip, you could get someone to do a rush job for you.

Congratulations!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
