Met 3 of my first goals!

Hi everyone, thought I'd share some WOWs myself this morning.  I have met 3 of my goals so far. 1) I turned 50 last year on Jan 3rd.  My goal in 2006 was to lose 50 pounds by the time I turned 50; well that didn't happen.  Then with the decision to have this surgery I made a wild goal to lose 51 pounds by Jan 3rd (yesterday) when I turned 51.  Well, I made it and it felt really good to actually meet a weight loss goal for a change.   2)  I'm off 2 of my 3 prescription meds.  I'm off the blood pressure med and the antidepressant med.  This was a very important goal for me and it's probably the one I'm most happy about.   3) I crossed my legs and even though it wasn't really comfortable, I was able to cross them.  YEAH! Thanks for allowing me to share these 3 WOWs with you all.  Have a great 2008!  Alice

Alice -

Congratulations on meeting the first of many goals ... I wish you a year of continued success and happiness.

All the best,

Barb

Congratulations!  I am very happy for you.  Only one more med to go and you'll be off of them.  Yes, that is a very important one.  Just a sign of better health.  And crossing your legs, that is fun.  I have been trying that too.  Still not comfortable either, but I'm getting there.  So, yesterday was your birthday?  Happy belated Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I know it was a great birthday knowing you have met those goals.  Keep up the wonderful work.  I think it is great that you make measurable goals like that.  It keeps us in the positive, by seeing what we accomplish.

Hi Alice:      Happy Birthday! You have done an awesome job in a short amount of time and this year there will be more goals that will you will meet for sure!  2008 will be a great year for us all! Keep up the great work Alice. I am going to scrap my weight loss journey eventually. I need to get moving on that. Have you started one? Lisa

Thanks Lisa, and yes, I have a scrapbook dedicated to my WLS journey.  I have a few pictures of it on my profile.  I need to take some more and add them.  I just got it upated through my 2 month post op photo.  I'm using an 8 x 8 book and it's really quick to do those pages.  I think it will be a great motivator when I reach goal, to look back and see how far I've come.   Take care, Alice
