aloha Bill, thanks for responding to the poll. It is always intresting to me to see how others are doing the same time out as me. Have a great day

Hi Mitzi!!! It was so nice to see your post!! How have you been? Can you believe that it's been 2-1/2 years since our WLS!!! How time flies!! You are looking just great!! l. Beginning weight: 263 pounds 2. Lowest weight: 128 pounds 3. Current weight: 131 pounds 4. Height: 5 feet 5. What foods can't you eat? Nothing really!! That scares me!! 6. Calories per day: 800-900 per day 7. Exercising: This has really slowed down, I do have a treadmill at home so I jump on every now and then. I would still like to lose another 15 pounds, but doesn't look like it's going to happen. I really need to watch especially since I'm only 5 feet tall. I never want to be 263 pounds again! Actually, sometimes I feel like I'm still back there. Take care and God Bless you and yours. Have a wonderful week. Hugs and kisses, Pat

Hi there thanks for posting. We have a lot in common. I too have gone back to sugar and carbs and since have gained a little back. I too can not stomache ice-cream makes me sick and I usto love the stuff. I am impressed with your excercise routine. Keep up the great work. If you want to go back to counting calories try www.fitday.com it is really good. Take care and hugz

Thanks so much for the FitDay tip! I've already created an account and have started tracking my food. I really want to commit to at least keeping the journal. With the fitday tool, I'm hoping I can get some control over what I put in my mouth! My exercise routine is pretty stable...I go to the YMCA at 5:00a.m. before work, otherwise it will never happen. Thanks again for the tip...I'm really glad I came back to this website having been gone for over 1 year. Take care!
