    rnsamantha got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Tall Women, Tell Me Your Story!   
    I'm 5'9.5". My start weight was 278 in June 2015, my goal was 175lbs. Now I'm sitting at 169lbs. I'm pretty happy with where I'm at (size 10 on the bottom, medium on top), but I have revised my goal to 165lbs because I fear the "bounce" of regain! This is the lowest weight I've been since my teens and I couldn't be happier. I'm still at the upper end of my BMI, but happy to be "normal"

    Congrats for recognizing you're off track. I'm off track too. I had my sleeve 6/2015. Lost more than my goal and my lowest weight was 147 (too skinny for my 5'10 frame to be honest). I've slid back into terrible junk food habits over the last year in particular and am up to 166. Although I rationalize that this still isn't a "bad" weight, and below my original ultimate goal of 175, it's a slippery slope. 166 this year, 175 next year, et cetera... Started logging my food again today! We can do this!!

    Hi all, I would love to join this "challenge". I'm just over 2 years post op and would like to lose 16 lbs of regain. Unfortunately, I've been trying to lose this 16 lbs since December....and it's August. I've been succumbing to junk food nonstop, and am frustrated that I can't get away with the bad eating habits that I used to. I recognize that's it's time to get back to basics of logging my foods, measuring, and staying committed to the plan!!

    rnsamantha got a reaction from Bufflehead in Following my own advice: carb detox   
    I'm in the same boat. Felt invincible and was staying in my buffer zone between 150-155 lbs no matter what I ate. Suddenly between Nov-Dec. the scale crept up to 165. Just started a 5 day pouch reset (even though I had a sleeve). Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes for me. Cold turkey off the diet Dr. Pepper which has returned to a full blown addiction and replaced all Water. We can do this!!!

    rnsamantha got a reaction from IansmommyRVA in Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....   
    "Your husband must be so happy now!". Really?! Because our relationship must have been completely based on looks and at 100 lbs heavier I must have somehow been a disappointment to him? I'm not sure how people realizes this sounds, but to me it implies that I went through surgery only for my husband's personal happiness and not my own!!

    My eyes are still much bigger than my stomach, and I still catch myself picking out clothes in larger sizes only to have to make multiple trips to the fitting room when they are too big!

    Just FYI, I think you may have spelled my name wrong on the spreadsheet? It's rnsamantha, and listed as rnsananrha?

    rnsamantha got a reaction from cutiek16 in Wendy's chilli   
    I used to eat more of the Wendy's chili, as a large serving would last 3 meals! Now I just make a pot of chili on Sunday and freeze it into small containers. Voila! dinner plus lunches for a week, plus I know exactly what's in it! I still eat the chili when out because there's no way I could eat a burger or fries without feeling sick for 2+ hours.
