Topic: RE: Goal celebrations
I am approaching 200 lbs lost - currently at 194 lost. For my celebration my friends and I are celebrating my favorite holiday - Mardi Gras - by renting hotel rooms for the weekend through Tuesday festivities. I cannot wait to be an elevator ride away from the sights and sounds of Mardi Gras!!!!
Topic: Goal celebrations
I see that there are alot of views on this board but not so many posts....come on everyone....I wanna hear from YOU!!!
Do you have something special planned for when you hit your goal weight?
I personally am getting another tattoo. I only get them to commemorate a special event, time or significance in my life. And to me...reaching my goal is definitely one of those!!

Thank you Jeannie. You've done great yourself there girl! 92 lbs in 9 months! Thats awesome. I feel for ya on the stall...went thru it myself and looks as if we are all doomed for it. Aaron has the same thing going on (above post).
I really feel strongly about uping the calories when workouts are in the equation. Try it & see what happens.
I see you are in Ky...howdy neighbor!! What part?

I was 9 months out on the 5th. I am down 92 lbs. I have been stalled for about 1 month.... I have stalled for two or even three weeks then I woudl have a great loss. So this month thing with no loss is no what I had hoped for but I can't complain. 92 lbs in 9 months--better than I have everr done before. I rarely get above 1000 calories a day--I do get my water and protein but my NUT said I need to up calories with the way I am working out.
I started at 268 I am 176
I haven't had any complications..Thank God. I love my RNY
Tracie you look wonderful--I am so happy for you.

Isnt it funny how we start to acceosrize now and pay more attention to detail...all I wanted to do before was hide in what I was wearing. And boy was my closet bland...almost all black! Now you should see all the colors...its like a rainbow in my closet!!
And no, you dont offend me with the fat comments...its the truth!!! Im still laffing at the circus fat comment!

Thanks Aaron! Some of our friends say we are disgustingly pathetic...married people who get thinner; just isn't supposed to happen...haha
I hope the change in your routine speeds things up for ya. Maybe upping the calories will do the trick for ya. I remember when Frankie went thru his big stall and his dr told him to divide his meals up...instead of 4oz for 3 meals, eat 2oz for 6 meals. That may be on option for ya too...All it really did was get his metabolism a little shake to wake it up. It kinda was getting used to the same 3 meals a day at the same time each day.
Whatever you do, I just hope it comes quickly, I know its gotta be frustrating.

It will be 9 months for me on the 13th and do feel like I have given birth to a new me! I am down 192 lbs since surgery and I am currently at the weight I was at in middle school. I can walk for hours without even needing to sit down. I can get up off the floor without the need of furniture for leverage. I fit in clothes from the local stores (Wal-Mart clothes rock!!!) I feel good about myself and my appearance. I love to accessorize all of my outfits with matching jewelry. I finally feel like I fit in with society. As a friend of mine told me the other day - you are not special fat anymore, you are run of the mill fat girl in the store fat. Now I know some of you would be so offended by that statement, but given that I started out circus fat, being run of the mill fat is such an accomplishment!

awwwww....that is so cute!!!! i'mr eally happy for you two :)
As for switching things up, I am trying to switch things up a little. increasing my workouts and increasing my calorie intake......i don't think I've been getting in 1000 calories a day......I don't think I'm coming close to that. I've also introduced more protein into my diet to see if that will work too....however it's only been a couple days since I've changed things so we'll see :) thank you for that compliment! You're looking awesome too hon :)
