    I love this!!!
    My dream is to be on the hunt field (fox hunting) riding my horse, laughing, as we canter and jump in the crisp fall air. My goal is to be back in the saddle by June.
    LET'S DO THIS!!!!!

    @@JustWatchMe, as a fellow Chicagoan, I love your Lake Shore Drive cruisin' fantasy.
    I dream about simple stuff like taking my kids to the beach and not feeling self-conscious. Or taking them to a waterpark. Or on roller coasters.

    What's your daydream?
    Mine is walking on the beach next summer, in shorts, for miles. Big old floppy hat, Jackie O sunglasses, sassy butt, and my trusty dog at my side. Cruising Chicago's Lake Shore Drive on a Saturday from Hyde Park to Sheridan Road and back with the sunroof open and the windows down.

    I just wanted to say I used this excuse for a long time. I have had two total knee replacements in the past six months. Therapy has taught me, I can exercise!! If I do my leg exercises and add some arm ones, o am making progress. I am also riding my cheap portable bike from WalMart! WooHoo!!

    I have always worn a sweater or jacket to hide my body(even in the summer) I now no longer need to hide.

    The further out from surgery I get the harder it is to shake the pounds. I agree with recycled. Change up you're exercise routine daily. I'm right there with you. My body just wants to hang on to this weight. It has become far to comfortable with where I am right now. It will break. I understand the frustration.

    There is pain with any surgery. Just know it is temporary. What this surgery will do for you is amazing.

    My 40's are fantastic. I never have felt this happy and relaxed in life. I'm almost to my surgery goal. I'm jogging in 10k's , snowshoeing and just overall enjoying the hell out of life. Trying to experience so many things that I let myself miss out on. So bring on the 50's !

    With a BMI of 42.(morbidly obese) I could diet but to exercise was hard. I was carrying an extra person. I.have been over weight most of my life. I have lost and could never maintain. This has drastically changed my health and extended my life. No regrets.

    @@My Bariatric Life
    I choose not to let other peoples negativity effect me. It is truly their own problem. Life is far to short. I keep the positive supportive people around me. I take the high road and move on with life. When others are out to tear people down why would you invest any energy either way with them? Forgiving is for yourself.

    This is a reality for all of us. Weight gain can happen. Bad habits can come right back into our lives. When you see yourself slipping (holiday's are the worst) It's time to get back on the horse. You have been successful.... 105 pounds down freaking fantastic. Do what has worked for you. Beating yourself up is not doing you any good. Be gentle with yourself. Try some positive self talk. You are stronger than you are giving yourself credit for.
