Coming Back



Recommended Posts

Well, I have been off here pretty much since the new format. Was having technical difficulties that I now hope are resolved.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I sort of stopped attacking the scale each morning when the goodies started appearing at work and certainly (over)indulged, but balanced a bit by walking some. Managed to lose a few pounds for a grand total of 83 since 10/09.

Need to get back to surgeon and follow up better for my health. I quit second job and have turned over a new leaf at school by 'letting go' of a lot of my anger at Principal. he is still a jerk, but that is his problem and I am no longer letting it be mine. I feel better inside and out.

Wore new jeans and an almost skimpy sweater to a party this afternoon and was amazed at the reactions of some. Felt good and now have a big head that no longer matches my a$$. LOL

Hope to be back here frequently, as I know it keeps me honest and motivated.

Here's to to having a year full of "less"

Glad to see you back Tracy. It sounds like you are getting all the kinks worked out and are doing well with the band. Here's to a great 2011!

Tracy, I was happy to see you return, this new format sucks but one does get used to it, kind of. I wish more of the old timers would come back...the newbies need us and we need each other.

I have had a few serious issues and have been unfilled totally for 2 months and have gained 20 pounds, it has been hard on me to say the least....I still may lose my band.

Your recommittment to losing wt and letting go of your anger at the prince is awesome.

I am looking forward to your posting more,

Mimi

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
