I have not been here in quite a while, and I have been having some struggles with my weight lately, so I figured I could get some support here!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond - holiday distractions!
I am so sorry all that has happened to you! You have had a lot going on and a lot of disappointments. I am struggling a bit too (especially after Easter weekend) and am going to go back to basics And write things down. I am going to go back to basics and try to get to my next goal. What was your goal weight? Mine is kind of a moving target lol. I now am aiming for 160 since I hit 170. I am sure I gained a couple over the weekend but am back on track today so far :-)

Barb, I was originally going for 156, but now I would be happy with 165 pounds I think. The lowest I got was 172 pounds, but it did not last but a day or two! The lowest I had got that actually lasted a bit was 175. However to do that I was all my feet all day and doing a lot of walking, bending, going up and down step ladders at that job I had in Family Dollar. That job was just to hard on me physically though at my age of almost 58 years old with the problems I have with my body from Celiac and Fibromyelgia. I have been getting out and walking a lot lately, and I walk between 3.5 to 4.20 miles at a time with our dogs, and I have improved on my time, and can do it in less time than I was doing, so that's good. My weight however seems to be STUCK at 192 pounds! I'm at least down 2 pounds though since was 194, but I just want to be back where I was like yesterday! LOL It was so much easier for the weight to fall off that first year after surgery! I wish it would still come off that easy!
My Gastric doctor, and his staff all think I have done a great job, but I'm not happy with myself lately. I know I'm doing what I am suppose to do, but my stupid body will not do what it's supposed to do! -

I started a new job on May 12th at our local Family Dollar as a cashier, customer service rep, and I really like it! I couldn't have done this before my sleeve surgery. I'm hoping it will help me lose the other 20 pounds I'd like to lose too!
-
I have a job now for the first time in 17 years! I'm a part time custodian at a local grade school. I could have never done this 1 1/2 years ago before my WLS ! Thankful for my sleeve!

Thanks you guys. Yes, and I love kids, and have grandkids the ages of the kids I'll be working around. Most times kids won't be around when I'm there cause I clean evenings, but on special events I'll be around them.
It feels great to be a part of something again instead of sitting home in my recliner feeling depressed, and worthless like I use to before my weight loss.

I gained a little weight over the holidays.
I hate winter, because I love going outside to do my workouts! -
Walked another 4.23 miles today with our dogs,3rd day in a row, and I did it in an hour and 7 minutes!

I went grocery shopping today, and a very big women was in front of me, and was huffing and puffing, and was hot and sweating. It reminded me just how far I have come, because that was me about 1 1/2 years ago!
-
Only 16 pounds away from my goal weight now! 11 months out, and feeling fantastic!
-
Still on a stall, and losing then gaining, then losing the same 2-3 pounds! I'm 10 months out now is this NORMAL?
-
Well, I'm on a stall again! Lose 2# one day, gain it back the next time I weight! Back & Forth, back & forth! LOL Oh well, I have come a long way, and I'm not going to let it get me down! I'm trying to think about how far I have come, and just take one day at a time! These last 23 pounds are going to be the hardest I guess.
-
I went for my 9 month check up since sleeved, and my blood test were great, and my doctor's assistant was very pleased with my progress! Next doctor visit is in 3 months for my 1 year check up, and hopefully I'll reach my goal weight by then too!
-

-

I just had my 56th birthday, and it was the best I have had in years! I got a tattoo on my upper back to symbolize my weight loss journey, and posted new pics. Please check them out and let me know what you think please. Thanks!

Did something yesterday that I never thought I'd ever do! I went zip lining at John Ball Zoo. I have a big fear of heights, and because of my weight, I never did it before! I'm so proud of myself!
