Topic: RE: Is anyone else having trouble mainting weightloss
Sherleb,
I refuse to give up, and you shouldn't either. I'm just trying to watch what I eat and try not to snack through the Christmas, then I plan to go back on Liquids and shrink my stomach back down. My doc says it works, so what have i got to lose but the weight again. Luckly I only have about 30-40 lbs to lose, but i'm gonna do it 5 lbs at a time.I also hope to get back to excercising. I have 2 artifical knees and the older of the two is starting to act unstable so I'm gonna try water aerobics. Have a nice holiday and lets try to help each other get back to where we were.

Thanks for the answer, I have tried fitday.com then I get frustrated with it. lol lately my frustration level is just way too low. I'm taking classes and find my self snacking while doing homework. also i'm having a hard time keeping down meat, especially if I eat bread or other starches with it. How are you doing at maintaining and how far out are you. Tell me about your self.
My other question has to do with being tired alllllll the time, they say my blood work is good, yet I sleep all the time and i'm tired all the time. Any ideas.

Wow, sounds like you've been on a rollercoaster of events that would make most of us turn to our old friend ....food! I'm sorry about all the stress. I'm a stress eater too and even worse (in my opinion) a stress shopper! I DON'T have the money to shop so I drink and eat.
I don't know if this will help you, but what I do is I track every thing that goes into my mouth on mydailyplate.com (or fitday.com or any of them will work) and I only drink water. After a few days, I can see where my weakest points are and find a way to fill those voids - like reading or painting or something that will keep my hands busy.
You are worth it and you can get back on the right track. Don't give up!

Hi,
I'll be 4 yrs in Feb. I went from 394 on surgery day down to 203 then balanced out at 220 (I"m 6'1 ) and female. I was doing great then I had some ortho surgery got in the habit of snacking on starches when I took pain pills and now i'm at almost 250. And I've turned into a farm animal, I graze constantly. I know I need to get back to basics, and 3 meals a day. I'm a stress eater and school has been very trying this quarter I had swine flu, then a parade of add ons and i'm behind and this is the last week. HELP!!!!!

Well hello scottie... yep our board has died... thought I would stop in on anniversary month and see what was going on though... I forgot about my anniversairy until oh emailed me so I am a little late... But I am doing good. I returned to work part time. so that is good. I am down to 187 lbs.. 12 more to my orginal goal.
My doc says he is happy with my weight where it is, but when I told him i wanted to lose another 20 to 40 he didnt say no, he said you can do that if you want.. I dont know if I ever will but I am happy where I am too. I struggle to keep from gaining back, have to watch ever thing I eat.. but I did lose 5 lbs over the winter months so hoping with spring coming and summer I can drop another 10 pds. I think working is helping me keep it off.. lots of walking in housekeeping. I think I did good though still losing ever so slowly after three yrs...
plastic is not in the books at all... so oh well... it isnt too bad... looks like i had a few more kids is all... lol

Hello,
I never did reach my goal and am currently struggling to stay under 200 lbs. I keep creeping higher :( oh well. I still feel better than i ever did, can buy clothes in reg stores, so i'm happy with that. I went back to school and am a year into my AS degree. I never had another kid like i wanted, but we still are trying.
Hope all is well with everyone.
