Back in July we made end-of-year goals. How'd everyone do? Anyone even remember? Kris picked 247 for my end of year goal-- and at the time I was in the early 300s. I was like, "Yeah, whatever, you spaz!" I'm 233 today-- might make 230 by the new year-- so I kicked that goal's ass to shreds. ;) Hope everyone's having tremendous success, whatever those long forgotten goals were!

Congrats on leaving that goal in the dust!!  I know we're not supposed to be concentrating on how it looks, but rather how it feels, but I gotta say you look fantastic!!  My goal was to be under 240 by the New Year.  It doesn't look like I'm going to make it... but I'm really close.  All in all though, I'm not disappointed.  I've lost nearly 70 lbs since late July, early August (I really don't want to count the 2 weeks of NutriSystem because I gained like 11 lbs and my sugar was way out of control). I seem to be in a fluid retention stage right now.. haven't lost more than 1.5 lbs in the past week and a half.. but who knows, I may get a nice woosh going on for New Year's eve and make it anyway!  I had such a hard time in the beginning... the worrying.. the disappointment... the hunger.. and trying to work out through pain that I never thought I'd even get here so I'm pretty psyched!!  I gotta give the glory to God for this success and pray He keeps me on this path through the new year.

Give some of that glory to you, too! We've lost about the same amount since July-- but I mangled my guts to get there! You have an iron will, lady-- and deserve to be very  proud of your accomplishments!

... and don't think I'm not a tad jealous over that surgery!  My eyes ain't green for nuttin'!!  I was so desperate back in July... spent day in and day out in tears and a deep depression.  My xhusband was ready to mortgage his life to get me the surgery (I don't have insurance), and I made the appointment.. was all set to go... then sat back and let the reality of possible complications sink in.  With no insurance, what would I do?  Also, how could I do that to him.. he's a good man and doesn't need to carry my baggage for the rest of his life.    It takes an iron clad will to go through with the surgery, Shari.. .and it still IS a lot of work!!  I have an escape route.. I can up and quit at anytime if I wanted to, but your body is set on a path that your mind will always be forced to follow.. now THAT takes guts!!  If I had less fear I would have done it.. but courage isn't my strong suit.   Either way.. I don't think it matters much how we arrive as long as we're not killing ourselves to get there.   Lori

The thing is, it's really no different-- it's a mental game. I haven't really "used" the surgery-- I measure and count everything, just as I did pre-op-- I don't care what people tell you, it really *is* just like a diet with a scar if you aproach it that way. For me, it's provided a safety net maybe, but it's not one I ever really use, if you know what I mean. You can accomplish the very same thing by dieting. You lack the safety net, but you can have identical results. I lost the same amount in 5 months pre-op as I have now lost 5 months post op-- actually, a little more. It's all in how you orient your head-- I know you can do what you need to.

Let's see I think my initial was 190 or 200. I reset goal my 225-230 due to knee surgery.  I guessing I am about 5 lbs short of that. I am not sure how much I weigh. I will wait until I get back home to do that which will be Jan 2. I've lost about 20 lbs since my knee surgery. I think I did a fine job! I will be happy with 236 or 235. Anything but a 24x....235.... *Crosses Fingers*
