I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I've been trying to keep up, it's just this school year, of all the years I've been teaching, has been the craziest. With the weather, the paperwork and the low pay - no raise for 5 yrs- I'm working more at my part time jobs and it doesn't leave me much time for anything or anyone else. Just wanted to check in and say hello, and it's almost our "surgerversary" month!! Exciting!!!

Sorry you have to work so hard! Sucks that the country can't get the pay right for jobs that deserve it! Seems like everyone is kinda moving on, and while that's OK, I miss ya all!! ????

I am so excited for April 16th to come. Need to start the Low Cal Diet starting on April 2nd so let see how this goes. My hope is not to have to take anymore Diabetic shots.. and all the meds that goes with it...

Been off of here for a long while. But needed to get an extra boost as it is coming up on that year mark! I am slightly nerves about myappoint next week. I don't know why. I do feel great about where I am. And ran into an old boss today. Who thought my husband was walking around with another woman. That was fantastic!

Good job girl! Bet your husband like "this other woman"!

Happy Saturday! I'm in a big time rut lately. Hit the 199 mark and since then haven't seen it again. My weight fluctuates up as far as 204 no matter what I do. I've tried liquids a day, eating very healthy, and no snacking. Nothing seems to work. Cant wait to see the nutritionist so i can pick her brain. Wantednto lose at least 30 more and hope this isnt the end. Wish i could do some hard core exercising! Should have my year follow up appointment next month, but I have to wait to see what the spine surgeon says on Friday. Don't want to schedule appointment if I'll be having my second spine surgery. Been having a lot of pain again, and was up all high last night. I want this to all be over so I can get back to being me. Hope everyone is doing well!

I think of you so often. I hope a second surgery puts everything in order for you. I just got out of the hospital ; I had a major reaction to all the medication I was on for my ear pain. No fun. Eating well in the hospital wasn't easy. I either ate string cheese and veggies or total crap, so I need to get back on track now. I really lost my taste for protein, and I still need it to meet my daily goal. Time to get strict. My wish for all of us is that our second year is stress free and healthy.

Hey everyone! I'm on Spring break this week, just working on alot of stuff. Happy Anniversary to those in the beginning of the month! I hope you are all doing well. I'm at the same weight for about a week, now, trying to be steady and not gain. I never had a goal weight, my doctor did. I'm still having issues with body image and all the changes, but still NO REGRETS!!! I will deal with it. I spoke to my brother yesterday(he's an army sergeant) and we talked about who I was dating! We've never talked about that before. He says he is really proud of me, and I told him to find me one of those Army Buddies, he trusts to date his sister!!! Looking forward to hearing about everyone's results for their annual visit. Mine will be later in the month! Good luck to everyone, it's been an amazing year!! I love you guys!

Hope you are feeling better now my friend! My wish is also for us to be happy, healthy, and stress free. We've all had plenty of crap and its time for some fun!!

Hey all. Another gloomy day in WI!

And a gloomy mood for me. Haven't seen the 199 mark again since that one Saturday. Weight has been between 202 and 204. Thinking this is where I am meant to be. Guess I will take it for now, cuz once my back is better and I can exercise, I plan on dropping 30 more!!

I see the spine surgeon tomorrow and hope the fusion has completed so he can go in and get it fixed once and for all. Dealing with chronic pain FOR SO LONG has really taken its toll on me. I am ready to be well.
