I made my first goal!

So if anyone remembers.. I said that I had to set mini goals for myself.. because being at what average weight was for someone my size meant losing 255 lbs.. which seems impossible. My first goal was to be under 300... and well, today I went to the doctor's office and I'm at 296!!! wooohoooo!! Go me... go me.. So my next goal is to lose 100 lbs. I have 12 more to go, to be 100lbs down from January, when I weighed in at a whopping 384.5. My third goal is to weigh less that my dear hubby.... and he is at 265... So I'm close..... closer than I've ever been.. as long as he's known me.. I've weighed over 300, so all of this is so new to him. Yay!! Its been a good day for me.. My BMI is now at a 50.8... so I'm sooo close to being out of the 50's.. I've already dropped over 10 BMI points... I started at a 64.9 or something like that. yay!

Congrats! You're doing great!!! Keep it up!! Vickie J.

I am so happy for you!!! I am also very proud of you

Thanks Heather!! I've been working my butt off.. (literally!!) I'll know about the move next Thursday.. so 10 more days of waiting.. Geez this is getting old!! *hugs*

Congratulations! You are making amazing progress and should continue to be extremely proud of yourself! WOOOHOOO!! ~ Monica

Thanks Monica!!

WOOHOOO I am so proud of you! That is awesome and I am so happy you made your first goal. I know there will be many many more to come! Keep it up girl!

I'm so Happy for you, You are doing GREAT!!!!! I would say under 300 is NO Mini Goal, thats a HUGE GOAL. That next goal of 100lbs will happen so fast. I'm sure your hubby is SOOOOOOOOOO Proud of you too. ((Hugs)) Julie

Julie, Honestly.. he's proud.. but he's also very jealous.. I dont know... but he's always been the "skinny" one.. so he's freaking out a little bit.. lol How about you.. how's yours coming along... are you redoing the 6 month diet? What has your insurance said so far?

Hello, Well I got my 3rd Denied letter today. Patrice from Overcash's office resummited it last week, saying she thought it was a mistake, because they had 2 reasons for being denied, now they only have the 1 & thats not haveing a 40 BMI for the past 5 years. Next Wednesday I am going to a sleep Dr & hopefully will get scheduled soon for a sleep study. "IF" I do have sleep apena, I can re summit & should be approved seeing my BMI can drio to 35 for the past 5 years "IF" I have Speep A. So... I'm almost positive I have it (at least that would explain alot of my issues..LOL) So fingers crossed I'm having my foot sugery this Thursday, I will be off my feet & medicated for a week, but hoping after that I will be able to walk pain free for the 1st time is a year and a half. Maybe by my birthday on 9/11 I will get a the best gift from Aetna.. A DAMN APPROVAL..LMAO Take Care you are doing GREAT!!! p.s. Does anyone know if you can be diagnosed with Sleep Apena, w/o having to do a sleep study?????
