Being under three hundred pounds

When I got on the scale this morning I was exactly 300lbs.  I have been under 305 for about two weeks. Why can't I just see two hundred something already.  It is like my body does not want to give up the three hundred range.  This will be a major milestone for me because I have been three hundred and somthing for at least five years.  I am sticking to the guidelines so I know it will happen.  What are some of your goals that are really close?  I know it is nothing major like hitting onderland but it means I am one step closer to getting there.

Hey HF...I was looking at your sig yesterday and thought the same thing about you...I was happy to see that you were 2 lbs away from 300...I left the scale alone and weigh once per week and will skip this Sunday because my 4 month follow up visit is next Wednesday...I can bet money that by Sunday you will be well under 300...Keep up the great work and good luck.

I am trying to weigh once per week it is hard for me sometimes so I weigh twice per week.  LOL

As indicated in a ealier post I have to take my battery out after getting weighed...lol...My current weight is 226 and I wanted to be 224 (-70 lbs) on my 4/15 visit to the surgeon...For this reason I will try not to weigh myself until then to see what happens...I am sure I will lose the 2 lbs I need in the 10 days from Sunday weigh in but I would rather be surprised...

Frustrating, but if you are at all like me, one of these days you are going to get on the scale and it will have dropped like 6 or 7 pounds.  Even though I knew better, I still found myself disappointed at my 1 week surgical follow-up to find I was the same weight as before surgery - actually I probably lost but my doc said don't weigh myself when I first get home because you gain after surgery what with fluids and stuff - in the ensuing 3 weeks I have dropped 25 pounds.  but for me, things stay the same and then they drop a lot at a time.

I have a whole bunch of little personal goals - my next goal is in 11 pounds when I will be 1 pound less than the last time I lost a bunch of weight  -LOL - dumb but these little goals work for me.

Have a blessed day,

Rhonda

A couple of my mini-goals are:

-- to weigh less than 298.  This is the lowest point I reached on my last weight loss journey.

-- to weigh less than 250.  This is what I weighed at age 18, a freshman in college & my weight when I got pregnant with my son.

Anything less than 250 will be gravy for me.

HANG IN THERE HIGHLY FAVORED. YOUR DEDICATION TO GODS WORD WILL FIND YOU IN FAVOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNSELFISH TIME POSTING THE WORD OF GOD.

First off..congrats on being a finger snap away from your goal of breaking the 300's.  I remember that moment and feeling... and it was certainly major  as Im sure it will be for you.  

My immediate goal is to get to my century mark....Im so close, I can taste it....

After that I want to get down to about 215 -or 220.  Only cause thats my last known weight that I recall meeting the monster of a man that changed my life forever.  I was 20 back then...

Im now 38.  I have grown in more ways imaginable and I think that being that size again with all the wisdom and life experience that Ive acquired would be like me coming full circle.  

Nobody will be able to tell me nothing....... 

I can totally relate to wanting to come full circle.  Do your thing, Mama!

Thanks soooo much Woo......girl aint nothing like being able to laugh in the devils face ( referring to the monster) 

He said so many things that stuck with me all these years.....thats its sad.

But I feel good in knowing that nere a one of them were true and that Im living my life despite what the enemy tried to do.  

We will get there.........   See you at the finish line with a nice big cup of water girly
