Goals

What is your next goal you are aiming for? It doesn't have to be a numbers goal or scale goal. I have 2 - the first is to lose the 8 part of my weight (I'm 181 at the moment) I want to see 17something. So hopefully that shouldn't take too long. The next is to start getting up early again before breakfast now that the mornings are light again and begin walking/running. My longer term goal is to get to a normal BMI which is 154lbs. Quite a way to go til I get anywhere near there, but I'll keep plugging away

Well my next goal is to have lost 150 pounds which I am only 4 pounds away. By my year I would like to say I am no longer a 300 pound woman i have 9 pounds to lose for that. I hope I can make it i only lost 11 pounds since 2/14/07 so things are slowing down. I don't care if it is 299 I will be shouting and singing. My next goal would be to be under 200 which will be a while before that happens but I will keep doing what i need to do to reach my goals. Lorraine

Hey Lorraine good to see you again. How have you been? My goodness you have done so well - 150lbs wow thats' amazing. Here's hoping you reach your goal by your surgiverary Ruth

Same to your Ruth, I know you can do it. Well lets see I have been doing a lot getting ready to go to Las Vegas in June and Mexico in July so I really want to get this weight off. Have a great day. Lorraine

Man oh man Lorraine i am so proud of you, you are doing just phenomenal! I can't wait to sing chorus for you or back up when you are below 300 that'll be an awesome day for us all, you're an inspiration! ANDI

Thanks Andi, I have been working really hard and I am focused. I havent said to much on the board because all of you are in wonderland so I just didn't feel like I fit in. I know that is just an excuss but I am feeling better about myself and looking forward to joining you all in wonderland one day. You keep up the good work too. Lorraine

I DO understand how you feel. When someone comes on here and says they've reached their goal i feel horrid because I want to be that person too...green eyed jealousy makes me crazy. Please keep us posted and know that we'll adore you any way we can take you. ANDI

We will all be singing from the roof tops along with you Lorraine when you get into wonderland. But before then, I want to join you and share in ALL your triumphs and disapppointments. And I know there are others on this board who want to do the same. Wherever you feel you need to go to get the support you need, know that we value you and want the very best for you and you have done an amazing job on your journey getting to where you have already

My next goal is to get to 130. That would be 5 pounds below the goal I set for myself at surgery. I think I can do that.. than I will look toward****ting 125. I dont know if i want to get that low but I at least want to visit it and decide. I am working hard right now on changing my mind set in life. My obsessive nature really gets to me sometimes. I think to much.. thats what I do wrong. I am reading a couple books right now and will look for a few other books that may address my problem. I hope to be able to finally say I am ok with who I am without stressing over stupid things like one pound of if I eat something that isnt in my plan.

My next goal is to get into the 150s. Right now I'm 168.25 but my body fat percentage is getting lower with every pound I lose. So I don't know if going down into the 150s is even possible for me. But I'm gonna try my darndest! I guess my other goal is to lose 15 more pounds because then I will have lost 154 pounds and I would have lost exactly half of my weight and I would be "normal" according to the BMI charts! Deanna
