End of year goals.

On the MI board someone put out a post asking what everyone's goal would be for Christmas/End of the year. I thought it may be fun for here as well, just keep in mind these are for fun and we wont hold ya too it! My goal is to lose another 65lbs and get down to 250. I bought a dress for our sales banquet in January, its a size 16! The top already fits but I may have to buy a corset for the belly, lol. Its a full length halter top dress all black and fully beaded. I got it on clearance for only $50! Normally it was $230. I hope to be in that dress and on the stage getting my award for making my sales goal (I only have 700k more to go from a 6.4M dollar goal) in January. Hey a girls gotta dream right? I will be sure to post pics as soon as I get into that dress! So everyone, whats your goal? Cary

Good Luck on both of your goals Cary! Personally I would like to weigh 150 pounds...that would make me 10 pounds away from goal, and I would have to lose 40 pounds in 4 months...so we'll see what happens...

Cary, I'd like to be at 175 by Dec. 31. I don't remember being at that weight ever as an adult. Probably in sixth grade or something! I have 40 pounds to go to get there. I would be thrilled to make it there, but will be pleased with where ever I am. This journey has been great so far! ~Wanda

Hi Cary! Wow, Christmas seems far away but I guess its just around the corner! Well, lets see...I started out at 320 and now I am 241. That is -79 pounds gone forever (thats a pretty good Christmas gift right there!). But I would probably like to be very close to my goal of 190 by Christmas. That gives me approximately 14 weeks. That means I would have to lose about 3 or 4 pounds a week to reach that goal. Don't know if that will happen but I will give it my best!!

I'd like to be 199 - in onederland by the end of the year. I'm not sure it will happen, but it would be nice. Right now I'm 230, but I'm also on yet ANOTHER STALL . My weightloss pattern is to lose weight for a few weeks, then stall for a few weeks, so at this rate I'm not sure where I'll be by year-end. Where ever I am by christmas '05, it will be FAR better than christmas '04 when I was over 300 pounds! Hugs, Tracy

I want to be down another 30 lbs. That is an average of 2 lbs per week. Weight-wise, that would put me at 186 for a loss of 107. I think it is doable. J

Love your new pic - you look terrific! I'd like to hit my surgeon's goal of 170 by Christmas/New Years. That's about 40 pounds for me, not sure if it's realistic or not, to be honest... My weight loss is so weird... but, that's where I'd LIKE to be... Talking about dresses, we went to the grand opening for a Burlington Coat Factory and they had these BEAUTIFUL 'little black dresses' which is something I've never owned. That's my non-weight goal, to have, and look great in, a 'little black dress' by New Year's...

Thanks Becky! I figured it was about time to update, my daughter hated that old pic, lol.

Great idea! Well, my initial goal is to be at 250 - that was my first post-op goal and as of last Wednesday I was 256, so I hope to be at 250 by the end of this month. (I'm losing about 2-3 pounds/week). So, my goal by Christmas/end of the year would be to be at my hubby's weight. As of the other day he was 210. I told him I was going to have to feed him strawberry shakes, cheeseburgers, and pizza once I hit 250 so that he can make it easier on me!! Michelle

My goal is to be at least 170. My weightloss has slowed down quite a bit, so I don't know if that's possible, but I'm COMMITTED To seeing this through. I want that bikini next summer! If I don't make it, I won't beat myself up, but it would be a great gift! Take care, Ashleigh
