Topic: RE: Can I come in?
Alberto,
It is really quite a journey one where we are contstantly learning and relearning things.
I have been heavy my whole life. This is the first time in my life that I feel I fit into the "normal" look.
I just know that you will be able to get back opn track and meet your and your doctor's goals.

Thank you for welcoming me... 
Well I had been over weight for at least 20 years, and my health was getting worse by the day, I knew I had to take charge, so I decided to have WLS, It has been the best thing I could have done for my self... I am now 18 pounds away from my doctor's goal weight, after two years I am now making bad choices and I know what I have to do, but it is sometimes hard... I am fighting not to get back to bad habits
I started at 275lbs
I am now 188lbs
I was 177 about 6 months ago My doctor as set my goal at 168lbs

Albert,
I have no problem with you joining our group. We go thru spurts of activity and right now are working on a "commitment" to staying on track. You might want to go back and read those threads and see if you would like to join us in that too. No hard set rules, just doing our best to stay on track and making mini goals to do that.
Tell us more about yourself and your journey.
Welcome.
Mary

You are doing GREAT with your protein. That is fantastic. As far as the water goes, you will do better this week. One thing that may be impacting the weight is the sodas. They do contain salt/sodium unless you are drinking Diet Rite Cola which is sodium free. Getting more fluids in will definitely help your weight loss too. I'm so sorry that you felt so badly this morning. Don't allow the scale to make or break your day. Heck, it doesn't know that it is weigh in day for you. There are so many variables when we weigh and our weights can fluctuate too. It is not uncommon to go up or down 2 to 3 lbs daily.
WOW, your exercise routine is AWESOME!!!! I'm so proud of you and hope you are too. You are an inspiration.
Hugs,
Mary

Just checking in (whoo hoo - I actually made it on time this time - lol).
I did great with my exercising this week & held strong with my 3 days of 1 1/2 hours of areobics (step & ab & core).
I received my protein powder & bars from Susan Maria & got back seriously on the protein bandwagon. I also did great with my vits. Once again though, I stumbled when it came to my water. And I admit, I drank at least 2 sodas a day (evil things).
All in all, I cried this morning when the scale moved up once again . . . if only a 1/2lb. I mean at this point I would be happy if I could just maintain. This is soooo frustrating!!!!
Topic: RE: Missing Everyone
Thanks . . . and Congratulations to you to! I'm trying to go back the basics . . . but man is it hard - lol. I get so frustrated when I bust my butt at the gym all week long, watch my carbs only to find the scale moving up.
Just out of curiosity - did you find that when you were pregnant that you could eat almost anything? It was like nothing could fill me up (which I'm guessing is what helped me to gain 40lbs). Now, almost 3 months later, I'm having moments where a little fills me up - but its just not like before. Who knows, perhaps I'm still stuck on my "honeymoon period" where the weight practically fell off.
I know that I should be grateful for what I have . . . I have no doubt that without the surgery I wouldn't have been blessed with my wonderful son . . . but sometimes I just can't see past the numbers or tight clothing.
