Countdown to goal.....

Paulax

RIGHT ON JAZLADY! Feels good doesn't it?

I have been to goal before, but only for about 5 minutes and when I was bulemic in my late teens/ early 20s.

One of my friends commented on how happy I am and I said, that a WEIGHT has been lifted from me, from both my body and my soul.

The MOST amazing thing to me is that with proper adjustments, I will NEVER gain this weight back, as I have countless times before. This thrills me to no end.

Countdown today!

15
When I lose on more pound, I will be in the 80s, I haven't been in the 80s SINCE the 80s......:whoo:

Why I just ordered a new Spider ski suit in size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That thrills me to no end. The pants fit, I can bend over, I can fall, but they fit snug. So in 10 pounds, they will be perfect.

YAHOOO, see you on the slopes.

I'm soooooooooooo happy. i hope I reach my goal before Christmass (I lose weight very slowly)

Hey guys! Thought I would check back in with you all. I have lost a couple more pounds lately! Slow and steady as she goes! My next goal is 159 lbs. I started out at 318 and when I get to 159 I will be half of the body I once was! How awesome is that? My ultimate goal is 155, but for now I've got my heart set on 159!

18 to go!!!

Wow Kim, I didn't know your stats before, you deserve a great big hug.
What an inspiration you are!

It just amazes me that I am only 13 pounds overweight. Even when part of me doesn't believe I will ever make goal, somewhere in the back of my brain, I know it will happen, if I make it.

Cheers to all of us. My last fill really helped things move along. I think this will be it for me.

go Paulax, Kim and Argon!!! Ya'll are doing GREAT! I love coming into this section of the board- everyone here is truly an inspiration!


how many times have you adjusted your goal (if any?) I've never weighed below 170 as an adult (I'm 5'9"); I set 145 as my goal but don't know if that's too thin.

Paulax

I am kind of in the process now of changing my goal. I am thinking of setting it higher. My original goal was around 175. I am thinking 180 might be a 'good enough' place for me. ???? I feel thinish, look thinish. ???? I guess I will know when I get there.

Recently some of my size 12 pants are getting big. I can pull them down without undoing them and they look saggy in the ass. I don't really know if I WANT to be a size 10. Really, I don't. I am not aiming for a supermodel size, I feel good. It is a hard call mcgreen.

I might have my band loosened .2cc or so and just see where the weight settles. So for me anything under 180 will feel like goal. But, like Jachut, perhaps, I will just stay at that weight for 6 months and then drop some more. But I am starting to feel mostly done.

So for me, I have just started to adjust my goal, but for the heavier, not the lighter.
