Thanks to this board I have changed my weight loss goal.

Not by a lot. but I have decided that since I started out with a BMI of 52 at a weight of 280, I want to be half the woman I was. So I am aiming for 140 and a BMI of 26. I may lower this if I get there and feel I can make it lower. But for now I am happy with this. I couldn't of made this decision if it were not for all the great support from the people on this board. I finally feel like I really can make it. First time I've felt this way since surgrey.

Thanks to all the wonderful support I receive on here. I wouldn't have been able to have the confidance to make this if it wasn't for all of you!!!!!!

Sounds like a good plan!  You can do it - you've done awesome so far!!!! (((Hugs))) Michelle

It's taken longer then it should of, but thats my fault. Now I am on the right road, and I am going to make it!!!!

Diane,    You are doing awesome........When we stood next to each other last week at coffee, we look the same size. Are you sure your a 12?     There are so many of you that inspire me.........I hope this stall I'm in goes away soon. I had blood work done on Thursday and get the results Monday, I think my Thyroid meds need adjusting, I've been so tired with no energy, so I only walk/jog on the treadmill once a day. That alone is why I'm stalled I bet.    I'm doing small goals now.........My next goal is 150 pounds, then 145, then 140. Then we'll go from there...........    I agree with you, all the support on here has helped me more than I can say............. Kelly

HIJACK....... Kelly...I was having problems with being tired and stalling. My thyroid was off. I am on a lower dose of Synthroid and my energy has returned thus my weight went down again because I do more. Hope you get it figured out.  Hugs, connie d

Hi Kelly,

Ya a 12 is as tight as I want to go...... for now. I can bet my butt in a VERY TIGHT size 10. Give me time, I'll be passing on those jeans to another lucky soal... maybe Amy?!?!?!

Best Wishes on meeting your goal! 

For the first time I feel like I really can make this goal...

Diane that is great...you are doing so well. You are very committed and will continue to go far. Nice goal to achieve. Hugs, connie d

Thanks. I know I'm a ways out from surgrey to be making this mindset, but I will get there!!!!!!
