What are your goals for the next 1 or 2 months?

 

I lost 5 pounds in September and I am feeling good about my journey!  Whoohoo!!  I am on my way and I have survived the summer and this is my season.  Fall is about new beginnings and here I am.  Losing inches and now it is time to crack down on my eating habits so I can reach my goal to be under 300 pounds by the end of March.  I only have 6 more months to go and it is hump time.  I have to keep telling myself to just do it!  What are your goals for October and/or November?  Please share!

My goals for October/November are:  

1. Eliminating more carbs, eating more protein, and more clean eating and less processed foods. 

2. 360+ minutes of exercise each week. 

3. Lose 23 pounds by December 1st.-- SW361/GW338

4. Continue to work on night time grazing and weekend grazing. 

5.  Getting more sleep in each night by going to bed at least an hour earlier most week nights.

I know the weight loss goals are challenging and aggressive but I feel I am ready to step up my pace and this is finally coming together for me mentally, physically and spiritually.  I am finally making some strides and I believe I can do it! 
Everyone have a good month!!!  

 Molly - 
Thank you for this topic!  Timely for all of us especially with the Holiday Season fast approaching ... my goals for the next 2 months ... (how many of us will have similar goals ...lol!)

At 5 years post op with a 25 lb regain that is simply driving me to distraction .... and the end of this month being by 60th birthday .... I definitely have goals for the rest of this year ... 

1) Getting off the carb/sugar craving cycle ... 
2) Get BACK TO BASICS ....  Protein first ... veggies ... frui****ER WATER WATER ... oh, and exercise  ... do cha cha lessons count as exercise?
3) Lose 6 lbs a month ... (don't want to be unrealistic ... ) to get closer to my "best weight" (for me .. post op) of 135 ... 
4) Get more control of my life .... which sometimes feels a little out of control ...

and lastly ...

5)  GIVE BACK TO THIS WONDERFUL WLS COMMUNITY .... FOR ALL I'VE RECEIVED FROM IT .

Sounds good to me Marie!  Yes the cha cha is good exercise!!  Very aerobic!!  You can do it!!!

I definitely think cha cha lessons count!  I LOVE to dance!!

Good Topic Molly!

This will be my FIRST year at a "normal" weight, in a very long time.

So... My focus will be on NOT gaining due to seasonal changes.
About this time of year I start thinking about baking- & "comfort foods" and SLEEP....

I will fight the urge to sleep and keep moving!!!

Sounds like a plan to me!!

I LOVE IT!! Your first year at a normal weight.  I LOVE how you think JEllen!
hugs, Y

Molly,

Thanks for the message.  I really have not thought about anything about following the directions my doctor and dietitian have given me.  So, with that in mind, this is my plan for the next month.

*  Eat everything on my special meal plan....the one given me by my dietitian
*  Exercise at least 30 minutes each day
*  Pray a lot!
*  Keep on communicating with my new friends on OH...to stay connected and accountible
*  Communicate my feelings with my family members so that I don't have urges to eat
*  Take the ruslts as they come
*  Communicate any out of the ordinary symptoms to my doctor or nurse

That is it for this month.  So far, most everything is prescribed...down to every morsel that I eat.  So, my next set of goals will include making good eating choices.

Blessings to you all!

JB
