Fill in the blank: I am so excited for _____________ (anything goes here, put whatever, doesn't have to be WLS related, but it can be if you want). 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? (this is completely selfish, as i am going to some cabins for labor day and haven't a clue on what i will do when i am there! ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My answers: 1.) My surgeon wants me at goal by December 27th, 06... I would be happy to be at goal by Feb 27th, 07 2.) I am so excited for October... It will be fall and I am going back to visit my college town and see some friends. Cant wait for that 3.) Don't know... I guess I could relax and read, but give me your ideas guys!

Hey Mary 1~ No, I don't have a time goal. At first he was saying that he would like to see me at 150 and I told him he was crazy because that's too small. So we agreed on 175. He never set a time limit. I personally do short term goals like I want to be at 250 by Oct. 16th. My weight loss has slowed down so I doubt I'll make it. 2~ I'm excited for.. October. I'm going back to visit my friends and family in SC 3~ Camping is my favorite thing to do!!! It's a time to relax, read, we always bring games and cards, go fishing. It's just the peace and spending time with friends that I love!! Have fun!!!! Enjoy the rest of your day!! Kay

Hiya Mary 1.) We all have a weight loss goal, but do you have a TIME goal associated with it? Not really, I would like to be at goal by the time we have our Surgaversary in Vegas but with the stall I'm in now, I don't know 2.) Fill in the blank: I am so excited for Vegas - I think It's going to be a blast and can't wait. I just wish everyone else would get their reservatiions so we could get a good idea of who is going to be there. (anything goes here, put whatever, doesn't have to be WLS related, but it can be if you want). 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? I haven't been camping in so long it's hard to remember, but I think the thing I liked best was sitting around an open fire at night. It was just so peaceful. Also a good ghost story never hurt

1.) We all have a weight loss goal, but do you have a TIME goal associated with it? I would like to get to 150 lbs., but would settle for 170 lbs. I would like to reach that goal by next May. 18 months is about all we have to take the weight off, so that's what I'm aiming for. 2.) Fill in the blank: I am so excited for my new car that I just ordered this weekend to come in, but I have 7 more weeks or so to go. (anything goes here, put whatever, doesn't have to be WLS related, but it can be if you want). 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? (this is completely selfish, as i am going to some cabins for labor day and haven't a clue on what i will do when i am there! ) My extended family goes camping together (we usually rough it in our RV's, but have rented cabins at times. We always make S'Mores (I guess you could do it w/ LF graham crackers and SF Hershey bars, I don't think they make SF marshmallows, though. We also board or card games as a family, swim, and canoe. We're camping at Christmas in Austin, TX. Next June we're going on a big family canoe trip in the Texas Hill Country for my dad's 75th birthday. Karla 337/222/150

What kind of car did you order? How exciting!!! Karen S.

1.) We all have a weight loss goal, but do you have a TIME goal associated with it? I DON'T HAVE A TIME GOAL AT ALL. I DID AND BLEW IT BACK IN JUNE SO I'M OVER DEADLINES!!! 2.) Fill in the blank: I am so excited for __MY FRIEND KEVIN MADE IT THRU SURGERY AND NOW I GET TO SEE HIS TRANSFORMATION!!! ___ (anything goes here, put whatever, doesn't have to be WLS related, but it can be if you want). 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? (this is completely selfish, as i am going to some cabins for labor day and haven't a clue on what i will do when i am there! ) UMMM HAVENT BEEN BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE HANGING OUT BY THE CAMP FIRE WITH FRIENDS. THAT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE FUN! HAVE A GOOD TIME! DANA

1.) We all have a weight loss goal, but do you have a TIME goal associated with it? I want to give myself time enough to lose this last 50 lbs. I will say by next summer. 2.) Fill in the blank: I am so excited for my upcoming trip with my hubby to Indianapolis to see what a real Fall is like at the Covered Bridge Festival in mid-October. 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? Sorry, not a camper at all. I am a Hilton kind of gal - ha. Karen S.

1.) Yes, I'd like to be at goal by Christmas. 2.) I am so excited for my youngest to start Kindergarten - next Monday 3.) Cooking. I love to try new camping recipes. Here's one of our favorite sites: http://www.scoutorama.com/recipe/index.cfm Susan

I would like to be at 165 by next summer and have had my plastic surgery behind me in time for my vacation to Mexico next year. I would love to sit on a nice beach somewhere thinking no one is looking at me like "what is she thinking wear that here" (the beached whale feeling as they walked by you and stared)But to just be someone out there enjoying life is that to hard to ask for I hope not. I have lived this way for to long and want to enjoy this new body forever!!!

1.) We all have a weight loss goal, but do you have a TIME goal associated with it? Yes...I absolutely want to reach goal by my one-year surgiversary. I am not sure that is realistic. That would mean 50 lbs in 5 months. Okay...totally not realistic since I am a slow loser. But I am planning on getting my butt back in the gym and that can only help, right? 2.) Fill in the blank: I am so excited for _____________ (anything goes here, put whatever, doesn't have to be WLS related, but it can be if you want). I am so excited to see my son. Seriously, I am a mega-dork...but I look forward to seeing my son after work each and every day. And, when I see his smiling face, it is like Christmas every night! 3.) Suggest your favorite thing to do when camping? Hmm...not the biggest fan of camping. If there is a body of water, though, I would be in it! Read up on some good scary campfire stories! Most of all...just relax, celebrate your new body and have a great time!
