It is a struggle, honestly I think almost harder than the losing phase. I took me a good 8 months to get comfortable maintaing. Don't let the bounces scare you, your body just does it! As active as you are, you will have to add quite a bit of calories to stop losing. It's all about figuring out what works!

I'm a few years post now but it is really the first year I have been able to spend any amount of leisure time traveling and I am determined to do it! It is so much easier weighing less! Good luck in your process! ps. I am from IL also, central, near Springfield!

Bumping for a friend

Most people don't have any problems. Don't be scared but know if you do have any complications be strong!

Does the unpacking ever end??? We should plan to meet up sometime! I am finally feeling settled in!

I just moved to the area, I am in Dade City. I was sleeved nealy 2 years ago in Springfield, IL. I am attending the Tampa General support group this week though! I am hoping to find a support group here.

Hey I'm up the road in Dade City! Just moved here from IL.

I just moved to Dade City from central Illinois. I will be 2 years out in a few weeks.

Have a safe trip! We arrived today!

ah I have so been avoiding this place for just these reasons! Thank you for an awesome Saturday morning laugh!

Here's how you add calories - try some fatty-er meats, go for higher fat greek yogurt, I don't know what skim plus is but go for 2%, real eggs, regular cheese. Also, you will be surprised that veggies and fruit don't take up as much space as you might think. Have some Peanut Butter.

Moving to Tampa area soon too!
