Tue 12/04/12 12:19 PMGoal by New Years Day 1/1/13 150
11/5/12 weight was 165.6
11/11/12 weight was 165.4 -.2 pounds
11/15/12 weight was 164 -1.4 pounds! Yahoo scale movement again!
11/19/12 weight was 162.6 -1.4 pounds! Been walking 4 miles a day M-F or 20 miles a week now.
12/4/12 weight was 158.8 -3.80 pounds. Walking 4 miles a day M-F or 20 miles a week still
I'm 3.8 pounds from my surgeons goal of 155 and my 6 month post op appt is next week on 12/11/12. I hope to be at 155 by then!
12/5/12 weight was 157.4 -1.40 pounds. 2.4 pounds to go till at my surgeon's goal. I am somewhat confused by the goal my nut gave me of 155. I was told a successful outcome of WLS or surgeon's goal weight was 155 for me or 65% of my excess weight. I have put in all kinds of numbers into a WLS calculator on obesityhelp.com and none come up with 155 as the weight of 65% so for all I know I have already attained the surgeon's goal weight! I weighed 223 day of surgery. I guess I will just have to wait and see till next week on 12/11/12 and ask them at the 6 months post op appt!
7.4 pounds to go to make it my New Years Day goal of 150!0 -

Aww Man... I've never GAINED any weight in a week. Oh well.. Maybe last week's weigh in was a bit off or something.
Still have a little under 3 weeks before the new year, but I'm starting to worry I won't make it to my goal0 -
I hit my goal of being in the 170's back on the first. I weighed 174. I am hoping that by the 31st I will weigh in at 164. That will put my BMI at "normal" for the first time since junior high!!!0

My weight seems to have stalled a bit lately and just trying not to focus on that too much so I don't drive myself batty. My goal was to be at 257 by the end of the year, which would be a 100lb loss. I am not really confident any longer that it will happen.0 -

38 lbs gone, 1st goal of 35 is complete!! New goal is 50 total. Hmmm...I may miss 50 but its all good. I'll be there by Jan. 31st 0 -
Only down 2 pounds this month, so far. Looks like I am in a stall. Need to lose 8 pounds by the 31st to hit my goal of 164 and a 'normal' bmi. Don't know if I will make it, but I will try. Either way 2 pounds lost is 2 pounds, especially during the holidays when most people are gaining.0
