not very good at this but sure would love a buddy or mentor . I had my sleeve in july 2013 am having trouble gaining I had lost 60 lbs and have put 32 of that back on.I some need someone one to get me me back on track I am a texas sleever irving texas.

Hey guys finally I am under the 200 mark on the scale have not been since my teenage years I am so excited. 18 more pounds to my goal loving myself summer here I come

I am almost a year and a half out from banding and I got REAL comfortable this winter....after the holidays. I did great during the holidays maintaining because I was seeing family that had not seen me since last Thanksgiving. That being said, I gained, lost and gained again while cozied up in my house for the winter. We had a horrible winter here for the gulf coast and I kept myself inside. I didn't go overboard with eating but I ate what I wanted most of the time. I've found that the "bad" foods don't cause me to feel any restriction, so I over ate and worked out maybe once a week.
One morning the scale said 12 lbs up and I freaked, but it made me pay attention quick. Honestly I just went back to what works. I went back to what I did after surgery and I've already lost 10 of the 12 lbs. I plan to keep going this time as I have 20 to 30 lbs to go for my initial goal. I will make a decision once I get there, as far as, losing more or not.
I just wanted all the clothes I'd bought to fit again. They were all either getting tight or I was not able to even get them on!
Needless to say spring weather is helping and losing the 10 lbs is motivating. We all know what to do, its just hard sometimes.
we all have the tools to go back to the basics. I just wanted to share what I'm presently going through and encourage you to just keep it simple and remember you know what to do! Exercise keeps my emotions under control and staying busy with the things I enjoy.....decorating, being outdoors etc.
So, I know what that scary number looks like.....that 200....because aT 12 lbs up I was 198 lbs and it PISSED ME OFF!!
I'm going to add you, so keep in touch!
