Topic: A fresh start....
Well it is Monday morning and I had planned on doing this on Sundays but the internet was down yesterday so it is going to be a Monday morning posting.
Let's try this for the first time, anyone can add anything in if they like-
Weights:
highest: 310
lowest: 144
Today's: 156.1
Doc's goal weight 164
My ideal goal weight 150
So I should be happy at 156 but after my tummy tuck I was down so I would like to get back to between 150-153 just feel better at that weight.
My daily struggle is FOOD in general, I ate cheese cake filling last night and what did I get this morning a zillion trips to the bathroom. Why can't I learn I can't eat that!!! I am a stress eater and lets just say there is so much going on in life. Not that I am not thankful for it because it means I am busy and life is wonderful but I have to learn to keep control on the food. I am scared to death of everyone saying I knew she would put it back on...etc
Am I a freak or are others battling such things?
Have a wonderful week!

I think the weekly weigh in is good. but we could also just post whenever we need help. I am trying to lose 50 more pounds, and it just doesnt want to come off. I am hungry all the time so I want to graze and that I know if BAD, BAD.
What should I do. I cant afford to join the YMCA yet, and it is still too cold to do anything outside. I am stuck, big time. Help!

Every day is a struggle! I had a huge meltdown on the treadmill yesterday and it just spiraled into crying spells alllll day long. I was doing great, got pregnant in June of 2007 and had a beautiful baby boy. I gained 55lbs!! I don't know how...well I do...carbs and no exercise. So, I'm still hanging onto 36lbs that I want to get rid of. I joined sparkpeople.com and really love it...it is a great way to keep track of your food intake and exercise. At any rate, this is the first time I've been back to this forum in a long time. Also, I'm going to see my WLS surgeron tomorrow and I am nervous!!!! I haven't seen him since I was 10 weeks pregnant.

I struggle every single day. And I have days that I get very depressed, because the weight loss has stopped...
I started at 414: I am at 270 and I haven't lost a single pound since last year. It's very irritating.
I am working on changing my whole families way of eating.

I am game for just about anything, as long as it doesn't mean to much work to run. But what? Maybe just weekly weigh in's? If we are struggling with anything just ask. I know there is the main board but here we are all the same time frame out and we have been there for each other. Some of the other boards seem to get a little heated and wild, I know we are a public forum but keeping to a April 2006 would work great.
Let me know if your up for a weekly post or does anyone else have any ideas.

Jeniferlee, Is it any warmer in DA UP lately, eh? I hate our cold on the IL- WI boarder, so I can't image how Da UP must feel! Anyways, Yes, I would love an accountability group. I used to be on OBESITY HELP everyday around surgery time and afterwards for support, but lately, I have been going it alone and that just isn't cutting it. I need everyone's support that will offer it. So, what do you think? Do you want to communicate regularly for accountability? KIM M

I've been struggling a lot. I need to start losing what I gained back, about 20 lbs. I still haven't had my hernia surgery or the tummy tuck. None of the plastic surgeons I contacted want to do it because they think I haven't lost enough weight. I'll get the hernia paid for but not the tummy tuck.
I get so depressed because my abdomin is so big I can't tell what's hernia and what's me !
Now that I've gotten my brother's bone marrow transplant out of the way I need to get back to thinking about myself.
I'd like to have the surgery at the beginning of May but I don't know if my surgeon will do it then. i need to have both surgeries at the same time because my disability will only allow the hernia. The tummy tuck is considered cosmetic and the disability won't pay.
