I Reached a Mini-Goals, Finally

On July 10, over 2 months ago, when I got to -100 lbs., I set my next mini-goal, which was to get to 211. That is the lowest weight I remember getting to when I was going to Weigh****chers 9 years ago. I finally made it today. The weight loss has been steady, just 2-3 lbs. per week, but other than a couple of rough weeks the first of August, has continued. Today, I finally got to 211. Unfortunately, the weight isn't distributed the same as it was then. It's all around the middle section. Giant gut in the front and a "shelf" around the top of the hips in the back. Everywhere else is in good shape, just really sagging and hanging. I just gird it all up everyday. My next mini-goal is to get to onederland. Only 11 more pounds to go. I don't know how long it has been since I was in the 100's, but it's been a long, long time. I hope to be in onederland by my birthday on October 26. That would be a great present to myself. I think I can do 11 pounds in 5 weeks. Hopefully I won't stall out before then. I had a friend ask when I would be at goal. I told her you can't really predict, because even though my loss has been pretty steady, a stall could hit any time. I kind of set my sites on mid-spring to early summer, but would be thrilled if it happened before then. Thanks for reading and "listening" to my ramblings! Karla 337/211/150

Way to go Karla! Congrats on reching your goal of 211-its great to have those mini goals to keep you going, I do the same thing on my calender at the beginning of each month in the Things to do section and it really keeps me inspired : ) And I know what you mean as far as were the weight is distributed these days-I carry my largest load in my middle as well-I HATE the roll above my waist! I wear those high waist compression panties to smooth it out but its not gone 100%, I just told my husband today that I hope my stomach continues to shrink and I am hoping its not just skin ! Good luck in reaching your next goal(s) keep up the good work! ~ Lori

Thanks Lori. My middle is still a lot of fat - hopefully it will keep going down. I can get the extra skin cut off later! Karla

CONGRATS on reaching your mini goal....I reached one today as well so its definately great to read about others who are on the same journey as myself. ~Lady Onyxx~ Lap-Band: 1/26/2006 288/250/175
