Default 151 pounds lost, I got past my mini goal and got a new goal now

I thought I was in a stall for the long haul, but low and behold this morning I met my mini goal of 150 pounds lost and got another pound off as a bonus, I got off 151 pounds now, WOW. I am sitting at 222 and my next mini goal is to get to 220 and then I am going to aim for the teens of the 200's next. I am maybe confusing you but my goals are so tiny now and this way I get so excited with my little goals. I told hubby that I lost two pounds and he really does not know what it means for me to lose a pound or two. To me it is a huge accumplishment, becasue I had such a hard time losing before surgery and now if I stick to the program I do really well. But for the last few days my eating was lousy and I still lost the two pounds, that really surprised me. But I did get in 60 protein yesterday. But the other 3 days was so poor and one day I barely got in 20 protein becasue I was nibbling on watermelon all afternoon, while I was canning pickled watermelon. I wanted to go out for a good long walk today but that is out of the question, it rained and everything is wet and muddy and it is still thundering outside. This afternooon I am going to give my eliptical a workout, it has been sitting there all summer since I was walking outside and working in the garden. I am just so happy with the two pound lost and it sure made my day for me.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I think everyone has an initial goal at time of surgery. I had set mine at 225, a wt I had been comfortable at for many years. I had gone up to 345 when I started the process, weight about 322 at surgery date. In 7 months I'd gotten down to 222, so I thought I "was at goal wt". I stopped attending support meetings, and two months later I was 242. Then I realized how important the support meetings were to me. I went back to meetings, and lost those 20 pounds pretty quickly. I then began to lose some minor wt again. I got down to 217, then 204. Then I said, OK--I can make it to Onderland, under 200 pounds. I had surgery on May 20, 2006. In May, 2008, I had two WOW moments. In the same month, I'd made it to Onederaland, and succeeded in losing over 150 pounds since I had decided to have srugery. I now weigh 186-7--this was beyond my wildest expectations when I began this process. I told my support group the other night that I had not been this wt since I was 20 years old, in 1966, over 40 years ago. DAVE
