I've been banded 21 weeks today and I have graduated from a 3lb weight lifted 10 times to a 12lb weight that I lift 15 times 3 times in a row! :)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445662188443874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-39927383904108497132011-08-10T13:43:10.494-04:002011-08-10T13:43:10.494-04:00I set all kinds of goals: scale, size, about food ...I set all kinds of goals: scale, size, about food and especially for fitness. The more small things I can achieve, the more I realize how far I come!<br /><br />I often get frustrated that I haven't lost that 100 pounds yet. But then I'm able to do push ups or run 2 miles and I realize that the scale isn't the only thing.

I try not to get to wrapped up in my scale, because I become obsessed and then the tiny fluctuations ruin my mood. But I so understand it! <br /><br />I love your blog and your success!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156943361193851644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-22413505427411467292011-08-10T13:09:46.877-04:002011-08-10T13:09:46.877-04:00I was pretty numbers-focused too. Every 10 pounds...I was pretty numbers-focused too. Every 10 pounds was a big deal until I got closer to goal.. then every pound was a small victory! But, my "pro" list was a great list of milestone goals that I achieved on that road.. things like fitting better on planes, not having my legs rub together when I walked (i.e. no more hosiery noise!), etc.<br /><br />If you think Sprinkles might find it helpful, you can give her this link -- http://chroniclesfrombandland.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html. The first two posts have some info that I think would be great for a bandster-to-be to think over. Also.. tell her to take before photos and her measurements ASAP!!Catherine55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13315887359315579554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-27327719959096676852011-08-10T12:31:20.185-04:002011-08-10T12:31:20.185-04:00Thanks LBG.

Especially since I don't have a goal weight. However, the idea of goals based on things that you desire or what to do is great. <br /><br />I guess I need to e-mail Jen and have her help me set up a goal page for the blog. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Sprinkles is one lucky bandster. I wish everyone had a bandster to go to the store with them and answer questions when they first start out.Dawnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086017817616140877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-54348882434722627812011-08-10T12:10:52.280-04:002011-08-10T12:10:52.280-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612121609893900847noreply@blogger.com
