Its Monday...Time for our mini-goal updates again

Good Monday morning everyone! I realize several of you are still most likely bummed about the Patriots loss last night, so lets try to get some motivation flowing today. Its time for mini-goal updates again, We have 10 more days until Valentines day and the end of this mini-goal, How far do you have to go? I'm down 3 lbs this week to put me down a total of 17 lbs toward my 20 lb valentines goal, 3 more to go! I think I can...I think I can...I think I can........

Good morning! I am not much of a football fanatic but it was a good game.... as well as an upsetting one for the Patriots!   GREAT JOB ANGELA>> YOU ARE DOING FANTASIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just came from a nutritionist appointment and I am now 255.2 that is down 9lbs from 1/23 about 3 weeks ago....  for a total of -71 lbs :).  My goal is to reach my -100lbs by my birthday which is in April.  I have 29lbs to go. 

Hi sweetlocs I noticed you are exactly 2 months post-op ahead of me and you've lost so much weight how are you doing it???? Have you had any fills yet? I haven't and I'm hoping to get my first one at my next appointment but its not till March. I feel very little restriction so I have to be very careful and I also had a bad weekend of wrong choices of food. I do work out about 5 times a week between aerobic classes and 35min on an elliptical also I have a stepper at home and my job is very physical 8-10hrs a day on my feet lots of heavy lifting. A sample day of eating for me is B-1 egg 1 slice light bread 1 tsp. light butter

S- 1 small fruit L- 3oz. protein with 1cupvegetable S-1small fruit  D-3oz. protein 1 cup vegetable 1 small baked potato 2 tsp light butter I know everyone is different but I didn't think that much would be different .Any suggestions would be great. Kepp up the great job

Thank you!  Sorry for the long delay in the reply... I have been ultra busy.   Hmmm... gurl I have know idea lol....  I pretty much take it day by day.  The first few months were the easiest for me because I wasn't hungry at all and I had to keep reminding myself to eat.  It is getting a little more difficult now because I am starting the mental hunger battle.   I didn't start a regular exercise program until about 1 mo and a half ago... 3 times a wk 30min of cardio and then weight lifting.  As far as my diet goes... well I have a nutritionist that I go to once a month now but in the beginning I was going every 2 wks. I also keep a food diary and write everything that I put in my mouth on paper to keep me accountable. I make sure that I have at least 50g of protein a day but I usually have 60g but no less than 50g.  I am addicted to the zone protein bars and I still have my EAS Advantedge carb control shakes.  I usually have one of those a day.  I pretty much have myself on a very very carb lite diet and low sugar.  If I have a sweet tooth I have one of the sf jello pudding cups.  Or sf chocolate peanutbutter cups ( those I have only had once).  I didn't allow myself anything sweet except for the sf pudding cups until last wk. I try to keep myself active throughout the day and keep myself moving. because my job isn't that physical especially during the winter months.   I could go on and on.. lol... drop me a line in pm and we can chat via email.  It sounds like you're doing a great job yourself!  Keep it up!!!!! Email me.. Take care!

Thanks Sweetlocs! My goodness...Look at you go! Wow! You've done an amazing job and it really shows, I couldnt believe the changes in you at the last meeting. I'm sure you'll reach that 100lb mark by your birthday, and then we'll have to have a party!!

Thank You Angela!  It is hard for me to accept the change and most of the time I feel like I am still where I began.  Weird I know :).....   Talk about me dropping it like its hot LOOK AT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!   LOL....  We definitely have to have a 100lb lost party!!!!! Keep up the great work!!! You're looking FABULOUS my dear! 

I'm down another 2lbs this week which puts me 5lbs from my goal!  I'm hoping to make it by V-day or around that time.  Then I'll be a 100lbs loser Dave

Woohoo Dave! I'm so jealous, I cant wait to hit that 100 mark. It seems like such a milestone doesnt it? You've done amazing, I'm sure you'll reach goal!

Hi Everyone! I set my V-Day goal to lose 20 lbs. My starting weight was 336 and right now I weigh 309. I lost 7 lbs this week and am not 7 lbs less than my V-Day goal weight!
