    My goals:

    1) Lose 8 lbs - I am 147lbs today and would love to see the 130's by the new year. It would be AMAZING if I could make goal and lose 12lbs but I'm not pushing it. I lost 11lbs in November.

    2) I never thought this would be a goal, but... Move down into a size FOUR pants. My 6's are a little loose so I'd like to fit comfortably into a 4. I haven't been a size 4 EVER in my life. When I started this journey I could only dream about being a size 8 and thought maybe, just maybe I could get to a 6 but never did I think a 4. BUT I'm going for it

    3) Stick with Insanity - I started doing Insanity with my husband at the end of October. We took almost 2 weeks off when him and my kids were sick but have been back at it and I want to make sure I stick with it all month long. It is 6 days a week of intense cardio interval training.

    4) I should probably get better about taking my vitamins. I've been horrible about this the last few months.

    5) Need to work on getting more protein.

    6) Need to be more vigilant about my water intake.

    So... that's me. Can't wait to see where we all are in a month



    Trip to NYC Dec 1, 2011 - around 270 if I had to guess
    PCP Appt. March 1, 2012 - 260 lbs
    Bariatrics March 23, 2012 - 257lbs
    Day of Surgery May 24, 2012 - 230lbs
    39 Days Post-Op July 2, 2012 - 199lbs
    247 Days Post-Op January 25, 2013 - 135lbs GOAL

    1. Get serious about food intake (quantity and type) and cut back where needed.
    2. Meet protein goal of 90g per day.
    3. Lose at least 12 pounds and get to the 180's.
    4. 30min. of aerobic walking/running 3x week.

    Starting at 200 pounds and that's after working all week to get rid of the 5-7 pounds I put on last week during Thanksgiving.
    Highest weight - 299.5, July 2011
    Official pre-surgery weight - 275, March 2012
