where is everyone??

Guess you are all out having fun? Just wanted to stop by and say hello. Been having major issues with weight gain...I have gained 50 pounds back...ughh, can't even believe I am saying that! I need help to get back on track, just can't seem to get back into the groove with things. Any ideas?? Thanks! Leigh Ann

Hi Leigh Ann, I know what you mean about the weight gain and not being able to get back in the goove. I have put on about 15 pounds and I swear no matter what I do I can't get it off. Of course I now in my heart that I'm not doing Everything I should be doing. I am scared to death that 15 will lead to 25 and them to 35 and so on. I happes so fast if you don't get a hold of it. Good luck to you, Chris

You are not the only one struggling! I have gained about 20 pounds back. I am having a really hard time getting on track as well. I just started going to the YMCA last week and I am trying desperately to cut out as much carbs and sugar as possible I hate working out.. but I refuse to let getting the surgery and going such a huge life change be in vain...so I am going to force myself to go! I am going to try different group fitnetss classes.. like kickboxing and cardio dance etc.. because I get bored easily. I am a snacker so I am trying to replace my unhealthy snacks with healther choices and then eat 4 or 5 small meals throughout the day. I am trying to cut out fast food, fried food most carbs(that's going to be the hard one!) Check out Bob Green's "your best life... diet" I read about it OPRAH magazine.. www.thebestlife.com. I am starting it Feb 1st.. it doesn't seem that it would be that hard to follow. We can do it! We just have to motivate ourselves! Tish

Yea motivation is important. I have been having soo much go wrong in my life, motivation is sooo damn hard. But you are right, we can do this! Leigh Ann
