goals?

Good Morning!

I am so enjoying reading everyone's post about BOOB'S! It kinda makes me sad that I wasn't able to participate....but, there is always next time! Seriously it looks like ya'll had a blast! I am slightly jealous!!!!!!! Ok, maybe really jealous!

I have been thinking a lot about goals lately. As of right now I really have no goals. Ever pound is a celebration, and seriously ever pound I loose is like a shock because I never really thought I could weigh....THAT! Has anyone else ever been there? Today I am down a solod 28 lbs. almost 29 lbs. I was banded August 12th......so not too shabby! I weigh 282 lbs. My husband weighs 281 lbs. I can not remember the last time I weighed less than my 6 ft 3 in husband. Well, actually I do, the day we married and then maybe the next 2 months after that :) I am happy.

Oh, today I am wearing a really cute blazer that was sent to me from the sweet Amy @ Babbles of a Bandster. It is a size 22. Guess what.....it is baggy. Not so baggy I can't wear it. Baggy like it looks cute and it doesn't look like I had to shove my upper arms into the jacket and suck in to get it to fit! Ahhhhh........the pros if a band ;) Life is good! Thank God for Amy becuase without her I would really have NO clothes right now! So, thank you Amy! I just looked at your blog and your pictures.....there are no words. What an acomplishment!


I got the sweetest message on facebook from Jenny @ Embracing a New Path. Thanks Jenny! It let me know ya'll were thinking about me at BOOB'S!!! ;) It was really nice to coe into work this am and see that message! So, Thanks again!


This weekend went by supper fast! As usual! I really did not make the best eating choices this weekend though! I have bunkered down and I promise I will eat like a perfect little banded girl all week! My first fill was suppose to be scheduled for today, but I had to reschedule......I know totally sucks! My sister's soriety step show is tonight and I had promised her I wouldn't miss it.....So now I have to wait till next Monday. It is ok though, I'll manage.


Now, back to the main point of this post ;) Goals. I would really like to be at 50 lbs. down by Christmas. I guess that could be my first goal! Well, really my first goal was actually like 30 lbs. down, which would be like 10% of my body weight. So I have almost reached that goal! Yay. I think I can do 50 lbs. down by Christmas. That would put me at 260 lbs. and maybe a size 22 jeans?????? That ladies is a whole seperate post ;)


Love ya'll!

You're doing fantastically well! I'm sure that you can reach 50 lb's be Christmas.

I suck at setting goals. I really haven't been losing consistently so it's hard to determine a realistic goal for me. You are doing awesome. You've lost as much of me and you were banded 5 weeks later than me!

hi, yours is the only banded blog I have been reading. I was on a plateau for a few weeks after my surgery Aug 26th. I found out that I add another meal and the weight started coming down again. Right now I am dealing with my back hurting every-night about 3am not sure what that is about but didn't hurt when I was 365. I have lost 40lbs already. 20 b4 and 20 so far after. My friend that talked me into the deal was 465 and lost 100 in 5 months. I have a shake (ensure muscle drink) 4 breakfast because I am not a breakfast person, then a small protein filled meal about 4 hours later, then 4 more hours another small protein filled meal, then about 6-8pm I have the second shake (Ensure muscle drink). If I haven't walked during the day I wait about 30 minutes and walk for at least 15 min or more... 1/2 mile or more, what ever tires me out first!... keep posting and I will keep reading...
