Change my goal?

Hey there, Madam Bookkeeper - I was a Homeschooling Mum! I'm all over charts and graphs. Lol I even know about how many pounds of loss it takes to lose inches in various parts. (About another 33# to be firmly out of plus size stores for pants)

In my ideal world my final range would be 135-140 (my sis is an inch taller than me and has settled on 140-145 for hers) but it'll actually be where the amount I routinely choose to eat intersects the amount of exercise I'm willing to do.

Right now, today, my goal is the south side of the 206 I weighed on our wedding day. I really think something with pink sapphires might be needed to celebrate that point.

LOL! Yeah, I think at a certain point, it just ends up where it does.

I know several homeschooling moms. You guys scare me with your charts and stuff... dude...

For me, my actual end weight is irrelevant. Sure, I have a goal of 100kgs (220lbs....Im 6'1) that my surgeon and I set as my surgery goal so I have some firm to aim at in stage 1. And I have lots of mini goals. Eg. Im currently 1kg off the weight I was the first time I did Jenny Craig when I was 20, meaning I will have rolled back the clock 20 years.

But I fully expect to get to 100kgs and then reassess the number. I think 85-90kgs is probably where I will settle, which technically would still make me overweight (still a great change on SMO!!)

But my goal for having this surgery was to be able to walk into any store and buy clothes, being a comfortable 14/16 in sizes. I really don't care what the number is to get there.

I haven't been that size since I was about 12 years old, so it seems so unreal to me at this point. At the moment, my goal is just to get into a size 18 pants as I havent been that size since I was about 16.

Whether its 85kgs or 98kgs, I think I will know when I am comfortable. I still want to have some curves. The emaciated thin look is not my idea of beauty, so I really couldn't care less about BMI stats or standard goal weight charts.

I did this to be comfortable in a "normal" size and free to do the things that have always challenged me physically. I didnt do it to be a bikini model

I want to:
Be able to sit on my hubby's lap.
Take skating lessons. (I loved skating in my 20s)
Own and ride a Vespa.
Run and play with my grandchildren. (1st one is due in a few weeks)
Do a walking tour in Scotland.
Walk the Cabot Trail.
Wear cute shoes - and tall boots!
Be able to shop for clothes in any store. (except the plus-sized ones)

None of those things are tied to a number, but I won't be satisfied with my loss until I can do them - and more!

I keep adjusting my goal as I go along.  When I first had surgery my goal was to weigh 190 pounds.  Now that I've passed that I have a goal of 175 but I am going to hit that for sure.  I think my real goal is to be 150 pounds too....I am 5'8 so pretty tall for a woman.  I feel like 150 is a comfortable number and I just feel good about it. 

That being said I have had a couple of no-loss weeks and I am just pushing through and trying to be patient....and during these times I start to think it's impossible to get to my goal of 150!  Yikes!!
