By the end of January, I want to be back to tracking my food & exercise, taking in 60g of protein per day & drinking 64oz. I also want to be working out at least 30 minutes, 5 days per week and down 10lbs by 1/31/13. For the new year, I'd like to be down another 70lbs by my 7/16/12 surgiversary date for a total 140lbs loss.

Sounds great, guys! We're hours away from 2013...

...and I just realized that if I do everything right and don't have any stalls (yeah right) I should reach my goal in 6 months, but since life is rarely perfect it's best to give it a year, allowing for stalls, etc. like I stated originally at the beginning of this thread makes the most sense.

Why, then, does it today seem so impossible fhere to have that much patience* but it will help strengthen that as well! 6 months, okay. A year to lose 20+ lbs.? It will be interesting to see how I handle it. I'll keep checking in here.


*I think I do well most of the time but I have my moments!

So, goals for January.... Hmmmm

Maybe to REACH goal! I am only 3lbs away from my goal weight... But if I'm being honest, I already have reached my goal weight. I was 138lbs when I met my husband at 17. I am 138lbs as of yesterday. It was always my goal to get back to that weight, but when I made my ticker I thought 138 would seem so random So I guess these next 3lbs aren't as important, but it would be nice to see on my ticker.

Important goals -

Continue with my weight training exercises as I am certainly noticing a positive effect on my skin

Drink more water

Eat more protein

And probably most importantly.... WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND THE IDEA OF NOT NEEDING TO LOSE WEIGHT! Can't remember the last time I stepped on the scale not praying for a loss. I need to get out of that train of thought and prepare myself for maintenance.

Good luck to you all! I know we all can do this. Happy New Year!!!!

My goal is to actually make it to and through my surgery date on January 15th without chickening out. I'm getting so much negative feedback from family and friends right now. I'm trying to think of it as constructive...that they just want me to be sure about my decision. The cynical part of me is gearing up for the "I told you so" from them if I do have problems or just need to vent to them. Just concerned that I won't have much support from them when this is all said and done. Well, I guess that it what I have you guys for, huh?

I like the sound of this ..I would like to make it through my Optifast diet until the 29th (my surgery date) and having lost the 10 kilos
I'm going to need some serious help ..so far I am 1st day in and already over it ..arghhhhhh why can't I stop thinking about food

[DANA H]

@momtobella, Awww, sorry you are getting negative feedback. Sometimes friends and family just don't understand. The positive will be the compliments you will get when the pounds start dropping. Then you can tell them I told you so. Just stay focused you can do it!!!!!!

My January goal is to reach my goal weight of 145. As of today, January 1, 2013 - I weigh 151 pounds. I am so excited!
