Great post! My goal for the year...make the most of it!I don't make resolutions but I did buy a Fitbit on impulse and then linked my account to My Fitness Pal and those two tools have sort of lit a fire under my butt. I've been counting steps and flights of stairs and calories for over a week now. I've lost 4 of the 5 lbs. I put on between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and am on my way to losing more, which is a good thing because I need to weigh less when I see my surgeon on Feb. 15th than I did when I saw him Nov. 21 and that means losing those 5 lbs. plus whatever else I can lose between now and the 15th. He didn't specify how much but I figure any loss is better than none (or gaining!).
My tastes are changing already. I feel better and have more energy and it's only been a week and a half. Maybe it's just a honeymoon period but I don't care. It's a start and I feel an energy of change in the air and inside of myself. This is the year I take back my life and my self-esteem.
I started my WLS journey four years ago and had to stop because my marriage was falling apart. Been through hell and back since then and now I'm ready. It's going to work this time and I am so excited to see how it all plays out.
Boy you have your head in the right place--good for you. Congrats to you, I am very proud of what you are doing. I have been where you are--I went through a divorce about 20 years ago and it was hell.
My entire life has changed, and yours can too. I even met a wonderful guy and got married again.
Never give up on your dreams, they will and can come true.
Hugs,
Suzanne

Well seeing as I was sleeved on the 14th of December the weight loss part of my journey has already begun and will hopefully do what it is supposed to do. My goals for 2012 are to be consistant at the gym, control my emotions, and get back in my yard and gardens when my knees are feeling better with the weight off.
Here's to 2012!
Here's to 2012!

Well, you are on your way! And look how much you have lost already--that is fantastic. Your knees are going to thank you for getting this weight off along with your back and other parts of your body.
You have some wonderful goals. I wish you great success.

Well, I lost a lot of weight in 2011 -- left a job that was sooo stressful, took a new job that is a great fit for my skill set and even though it is a challenge, I'm loving it ! 2011 was a year of changes for me.....
2012 -- A year that I acheive wonderful things ! 2012 will be the year I make my goal of 170 pounds or less ! It will be the year that I focus on my own happiness at the ripe age of 55; it's about time to think about who I am now, who I have become, and where I want to be. It will be the year I finally fit into a size 14 petite jean, and the year that I make sure to laugh and learn every day.
The past few year have been very hard for me, filled with many losses of family and friends along with a horrible divorce, and having to pick up the pieces that my ex left my teenage daughter in....
So this year is secretly going to be about me. I've done a lot of changing, now it is time to BECOME. Not someone new....just better, different. More confident, more lively, definately more active, and much more FUN.

Wow look at you and your success. I just loved reading what you wrote. You have taught your daughter so much by showing her your strength. You have so much to look forward too. I have been where you are with a ugly divorce and a teenage daughter. We both are strong and happy now.
I hope that your life just keeps getting better and better each day. I know that you deserve the kind of happiness that you are going to find. Honestly all of these things have made you understand that you are very much a survivor. Congratulations to you for all your success.
Hugs,
Suzanne
