    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!

    1-30-2012: weight was 246
    5-30-2012: weight was 238

    I had weight loss surgery on 9/27/12 and the weight loss is slow, but progressing. The goal my surgeon set for me is 160 pounds. My goal is 130.
    I hope to reach 182 by New Year's Day.
    Currently I walk for about an hour each day, and do my Leslie Sansone DVD at least once a day.

    Goal by end of end of year 160.
    be closer to running a 5K (no walking)

    11-1-12 = 169.0
    11-5-12 = 168.4 (-0.6) = running 25 minutes solid.
    11-12-12 = 164.4 (-4.0) = running 26 minutes solid. I have never had a 4 pound week, wow.
    11-19-12 = 164.8 (+0.4) = running 28 minutes solid. gain but still well in advance of projected average.
    11-26-12 = 165.2 (+0.4) = running 30 minutes solid. Gain again blamed monthly cycle.
    12-3-12 = 160.2 (-5.0) = running 30 minutes solid need to start focus on distance.
    12-10-12 = 160.2 (0) = 5 K time 37:50 (5 minutes of walking)

    Goal by NYE: 190 (100 lbs less than my starting weight)

    11/5/12 - 207.4
    11/12/12 - 204.2 - 3.2
    11/19/12 - 203.4 - 0.8

    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 goal

    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!!!

    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.

    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.
