Turkey Day Mini-Goal Progress???

Hi folks, The only way I will be able to reach my mini-goal of 208 by T-Day will be by act of God at this point -- I stalled with my weight loss during the last week of September for a four-week plateau -- things picked up a little bit over the last two weeks but it's slow going now and I am a bit depressed, actually. Also I couldn't walk/exercise for a period of 3 weeks due to medical issues unrelated to WLS . . . so that may have had something to do with my stall as well. Sigh. Still not feeling restriction or fullness, still measuring ounces and counting calories. I find tracking what I eat on fitday.com to be the most helpful tool I've got going at this point. I stopped by our neighborhood Curves just now to get their rates. They are having a "special" introductory package -- $75 initiation fee and then monthly payments of $29 beginning in January. I am going to go for this, hopefully I can find this within the budget. The Curves is exactly one mile from my house, so I could incorporate my daily walking back and forth to there as well. Sounds like a plan. -BJ 300/222-4 bouncing/150???

Hi BJ, Yes, It's going to take an act of God to help me reach my goal of weighing 130 pounds too. I am now at 142. Somehow I do not see me losing 12 pounds in the next couple of weeks. I have lost 74 pounds so far and I now wear a comfortable size 6. I can get into a size 4 but why work at it. My Dr. tells me that I have 21 pounds left until the goal he picked for me. I hadn't exercised in 6 weeks because I got the flu and then pneumonia and my asthma decided to put in an appearance after THREE years of being asthma free. I'm just now starting to get on the treadmill again. I'm eating more now. About 1/2 a cup of food in one sitting. I've lost TONS of hair. Thank goodness I had enough hair for 4 full heads or I would be in SAAAAD shape now. It sounds like you've got a great battle plan. Keep at it. Hannah My highest weight was 272/ 216/142/121

I've met my 75lb weight loss mini goal as of this morning!! Whoo hoo!! so lets see where I end up by the 25th!! Good luck every one!!~ Mary -75 lbs

It seems we all have the same problem. I hit a plateau in September and another in October and now I am stalled out again. I have 6 pounds to lose to meet my mini-goal and the way things are going, I doubt it will happen. My clothes continue to get bigger and I am continuously rotating my clothes to smaller sizes and making donations to GoodWill or other WLS women but it isn't showing up on the scale.

Serious doubt here. I plateaued for 4 weeks, lost a few and have now stalled again. Drats! Oh well, nothing I can do about it. I guess this body will give it up when it's good and ready. I am still following all the rules, so hopefully things will kick into gear soon.

I made my goal and another 6 pounds extra! I am so thrilled! Courtney 300/216/175?
