Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Jeff, Congratulations on the weight loss, and for setting realistic goals. I think you're right. Setting goals does make you work for something. I hope I can be as prophetic as you when my time comes. Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 CONGRATS JEFF!!!! You brought joyful tears to my eyes, and I didn't even hafta kiss u like the frog to get there! I'm VERY happy you have achieved and surpassed your goals, only more true happiness to follow! Don't worry about the 25 lbs by the wedding...this is THE BEST day of your lives, and you'll enjoy it no matter what one shall weigh! Congrats!!!! Dawn Goals... Well...while going through the WLS process, I kept listening to everyone talking about their goal weights, their goals for how much they wanted to lose, etc. For some reason, it never really occurred to me to really set any hard-and-fast goals...I just kept saying, " Wherever I end up, I'll be happy...because it will be a better weight than I was at from the start " . The more I thought of it, the more I decided that I really should set some sort of goals, so I'll have something to stride to achieve. Not to mention that everyone I know keeps asking me the same 2 questions... " How much are you down now?...and...What's your goal? " . Well shit...ok...then I guess I have to come up with some goals! OK...I started out at 450 pounds...I'm about 5'11 " ...I never really took much stock in charts and graphs about how much someone thinks I should weigh...so...on my own, I decided that I'd like to end up at 225. Then I started pondering...is it a little conceeded of me to even think that I'll lose HALF of my body weight? Especially when the number 225 isn't really any scientific number...just where I'd like to be? OK...where am I going with all of this???(c'mon...I know you're asking yourself this if you've made it through this far...)... I had my surgery on June 29th...so my first " official " goal, was to lose 100 pounds by the time of my wedding, which is December 8 of this year. I thought...ok...good goal...100 pounds in 6 months...be down to 350...that'd be so cool! Welllllll...now that goal has skipped right by me like a frog that Dawn has revived... As of this morning...almost 3 months since my surgery...I HIT MY 100 POUND MARK!!!!! I can't believe that it's gone this quickly! I feel like I'm cheating in some way...because, I really don't think I've worked overly hard to get here. I put off my excercise program until just last week...because we were way too busy on the ambulance for me to have the time or energy to do it. But, now we've slowed down, and I'm visiting the gym at the Fire Station, and loving it. So...for now I'm viewing my weightloss this way...right or wrong.... The first 100 pounds were my " easy " pounds to lose...God gave me these 3 months to lose without too much work on my part...and now I'm going to have to work my ass off from here on in. Whether that's true or not, I don't know...but I'm going to make myself stick to it, and am going to work my ass off. So...I'll end this now with my new goal. 25 more pounds by the wedding. I've got about 10 weeks to do it, and I know it's very do-able...but don't want to start getting cocky about it either. Anyway...thanks for listening to me blabber. Now I have to go get dressed. and I are heading to the Beth Israel this afternoon, as she has her first appointment with the team as she starts her WLS journey. :-) Stay safe everyone.

OK...I started out at 450 pounds...I'm about 5'11 " ...I never really took much stock in charts and graphs about how much someone thinks I should weigh...so...on my own, I decided that I'd like to end up at 225. Then I started pondering...is it a little conceeded of me to even think that I'll lose HALF of my body weight? Especially when the number 225 isn't really any scientific number...just where I'd like to be? > > OK...where am I going with all of this???(c'mon...I know you're asking yourself this if you've made it through this far...)... > > I had my surgery on June 29th...so my first " official " goal, was to lose 100 pounds by the time of my wedding, which is December 8 of this year. I thought...ok...good goal...100 pounds in 6 months...be down to 350...that'd be so cool! Welllllll...now that goal has skipped right by me like a frog that Dawn has revived... > > As of this morning...almost 3 months since my surgery...I HIT MY 100 POUND MARK!!!!! I can't believe that it's gone this quickly! I feel like I'm cheating in some way...because, I really don't think I've worked overly hard to get here. I put off my excercise program until just last week...because we were way too busy on the ambulance for me to have the time or energy to do it. But, now we've slowed down, and I'm visiting the gym at the Fire Station, and loving it. > > So...for now I'm viewing my weightloss this way...right or wrong.... The first 100 pounds were my " easy " pounds to lose...God gave me these 3 months to lose without too much work on my part...and now I'm going to have to work my ass off from here on in. Whether that's true or not, I don't know...but I'm going to make myself stick to it, and am going to work my ass off. > > So...I'll end this now with my new goal. 25 more pounds by the wedding. I've got about 10 weeks to do it, and I know it's very do- able...but don't want to start getting cocky about it either. > > Anyway...thanks for listening to me blabber. Now I have to go get dressed. and I are heading to the Beth Israel this afternoon, as she has her first appointment with the team as she starts her WLS journey. :-) > > Stay safe everyone. > > Jeff > ~If you are going to walk on thin ice you might as well dance~ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
