Holidays 2 come!!!

My goal during the holiday season is to stay in control of my eating, remain sugar-free, bread-free, rice-free, pasta-free, and stay diligent with my exercise. I won't set any weight loss goals since I stall so frequently. In fact, I think I'm on a stall now (almost no weight loss last week). I just frustrate and depress myself when I set time goals and my body won't cooperate. I cannot control how quickly my body releases fat, but I can control what goes into my mouth. Good luck everyone! Hugs, Tracy

Congratulatoins! My next goal is to be below BMI of 30 (only 'overweight). I have 7 pounds to go and I hope to be able to make it by Thanksgiving. The goal after that is to be meet my lowest adult weight. This is where I landed after 17 months of phen-fen and dieting -- I was there for about 2 minutes. I will have 15 pounds to go after Thanksgiving for that goal (assuming I meet my Thanksgiving goal). Probably won't happen until January some time. After that I'm not sure, I'll be looking at my final goal (150). I'm hoping to reach that in time for my 1-year anniversary. I know that will be optimistic, but setting these mini-goals really helps keep me on the straight and narrow. Eileen

Congrats on your 75 lbs! WooHoo! My goal is to get to 75 lbs by 11/17. That is when I see my doctor for my 6 month checkup (although my real 6 months is 11/23). A week ago, I didn't think I'd make it but I've had a good week and I'm now down 70.5 lbs. (I'm only 2.5 lbs away from Onederland!) My birthday is 11/9 and I'm really really hoping to be down 75 by then. I haven't made any goals for Thanksgiving or Christmas but I have made one for 1/12/06. I'm going to Hawaii for 5 nights and I'm hoping to be down 90 lbs (100 lbs would be really fantastic but I think that is too unrealistic). I'll be meeting my cousin who hasn't seen me since before the surgery and she doesn't know I've had it done!

My goal is to lose 100 by Christmas. My last weigh in was -88 two weeks ago, so I should be able to do this!

My goal is to be -100 by the office XMas party...on 12/16/05. At my loss of 2 pounds per 6 weeks...not sure Im gonna make it though. That would be 24 pounds in 6 weeks or 4 pounds a week...those days are gone. So I'll take 175, which is an 85 pound loss total...

My first goal is to make it out of the 200's! Secondly, I would like to wear the tan suede size 12 suit for Thanksgiving, I can actually wear it now, but it is not flattering, too tight. My next doctor's appointment will be Dec. 3rd which will be 6 1/2 months after surgery. I hope to have lost at least 75-80lbs. Last check I had lost 65-67 lbs.
