THANKSGIVING GOAL!!!!

YAHOOOOO I FINALLY MADE ONE OF THESE GOALS!!!! My Thanksgiving goal was to be 205 and this morning I was a solid 204.5 !! I started this journey at 301....that means in 3.5 more pounds I will be down 100 pounds!!! Surgery starting weight was 295. (90.5 pounds). I have gone from a size 30/32 to a 14/16 (and some 18's still - depends). My goal is to be 150. When I hit 165, I call the plastic surgeon to hack off the other 15...hahahahahaha. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to loose 100 pounds. I feel so good! It is so nice to blend in with others, rather than stand out! It is amazing how many people you see now that are obese. I don't think I ever noticed as much before. I almost want to run up to them and say...FREE YOURSELF, GET THIS AMAZING SURGERY! But, we all know that would be just rude! So now for my Christmas goal. I have said from the get-go that I wanted to be in Onderland for Christmas. I would like to be 195 for Christmas. That is 9.5 pounds to loose. That will also put me in the Century Club (from my surgery starting weight)! Have a good day. Shelly

Shelly you are doing SO well! I know you can make 9.5 pounds by Christmas. Congratulations!! I can wait to see that "onederland" post. I am doing well on my goal of exercising 3x a week. I might not get to the gym 3x this week because I'm going to Vegas, but I will make up for it with all the walking I am going to be doing.

YEAH, WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!. Keep up the good work. It does feel great doesnt it? I am like you and it is amazing how many obese people you see these days. I want to do the same thing and tell them to help theirselves now while they can. I would like to be down 10 lbs by Christmas, but it is coming off very slowly right now. Have a Happy Thankgiving. Kathleen

Congratulations! Like I said, we all have something to be thankful for this year! I hope to be down another 3 pounds before Christmas, but I've got to get my buns to the gym to get there! Happy Thanksgiving!

Great job Shelly! I'm so happy for you I made my TG goal then I revised it and I don't think I'm going to make that one but OH WELL, I'm still heading in the right direction. I think for Christmas I would like to be at 179, I'm at 187 now so I have 8 lbs to lose by Christmas... Darla

Darla, your should be able to reach your Christmas goal. Who would have thought, a year ago, that we would be talking about how much weight we would lose over Christmas!!! Not a normal concept. Isn't it great. Julia

Yea Shelly!!! I'm dancing for or with you you I should say!!! Isn't WLS a hoot! I don't think any of us could even dream how amazing this tool is and how drastic the changes would be. I know I dreamed it but didn't truly believe it could happen for me. But it has and continues to amaze me. You are doing great!!! In Him, Joan M I have been making my goal of 2lbs a week but it has been hard. I had to increase my food. Now if the potty issue would just kick in. Maybe 3lbs (smile) In Him, Joan M

Shelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made my Thanksgiving goal by losing six pounds. I'm now down 110. I really want to lose 8 more by Christmas. Let's see we have a little over 4 weeks. I hope that's not being too drastic. That's 2 pounds per week. Does everyone realize after Christmas we have 4 months until we are at one year? I cannot believe it. I am so glad I did this. Have a fantastic holiday everyone!!! Denise

Denise, congratulation on making your goal and good luck on your Christmas goal. Julia
