Hello my fellow WLS peeps. I am on a mission to lose 50 pounds that I have regained. I am feeling hopeful and know that getting back to basics will do it. I would like this thread to be a place where we can come and be transparent and accountable. I plan on checking in with a weigh in every Monday starting tomorrow. If you want to join me, let's do this!

Heightist weight: 289

Lowest: 157

Goal: 150

Attached is my before surgery pic, me at my lowest and where I am today.

May God bless you and keep you[emoji173]️

We all fall down, but we get up. Tough can certainly do this. I'm cheering for you.

I had started to wonder if I was the only one commenting on this thread. For some reason I always have to refresh my page to see new comments.

I will even list my bad days. I was out the box with carbs today. I had a half of pancake with sugar free syrup. The fruit did me in. I just had to have a free day where I ate fruits. I still think I made better choices than I use to make.

Glad I found rhis thread. I have put on 7-10 lbs recently and want to get back to basics. I am going to three meals and one protein shake, at least 64 oz. of water and am going to aim for 20-30 of walking at least four days a week. I do really well all day and then blow it in the evening hours. I just want to snack mindlessly and know that I cannot. Any thoughts or hints on how to stop craving sugar and carbs or at least cut them way down?

Sounds like my story; I had also gained 10. If you read through this thread you will find some helpful tips. Because 25 cabs and under was not realistic to me, I set my carb goal between 50 - 100, then I drop my carb goal down to 50. I was ranging in high 30 -50. Now it's seems to be easier to stay in the twenties range. After a while you will make better choices when it comes to carbs. I find my self paying more attention to the carb section. Since I have been doing this, I have eliminated my snacking during the day. As of today, I have lost 5 pounds. Good luck!

Maybe you can shift some calories or meals to later in the day....like start with your protein shake after 9am then shift everything till later... that way your later snacking is actually a scheduled meal

I want to try and stop drinking with food...I have never managed it since surgery in 2008 and have regained over 40lbs! Finding it so difficult to do though! I had a bypass and I now know it is crucial to maintain weight loss!

You got this Zoii. We all know the struggle and starting is the most important step. Don't give up and don't get down on yourself if you fall, just get back up. Ask God for comfort and to remove that spirit of heaviness off of you and just seek Him for your healing, after all, He is in the healing business. Praying for you sis and rooting for you!

Hi Gals!
I haven't come to visit since I joined the group,as I have found myself in the same boat.
I have been down and ignoring myself since. But I am now inspired by all you women and want to get back on track. I should take a pic of the scale and post in the morning. Because it's almost 2 pm and I'd be crazy to weigh myself now lol
