its almost our anniversary time...... how is everyone doing? I am still in VA, been almost a year since I moved here.
I am below goal (by 5 lbs) struggle with a few things.....
- barely exercise
-vitamins kill me, been trying to take the centrums chewables
-anemic and cant get the iron in, but try to eat iron rich food as much as possible
-chronic diarreah, not sure why only thing i can think of is my new job/move/life has been stressful - and finances are bad (and i know they are for ALL)
& worst of all started smoking again after 3 yrs quit.... :(
on a good note i started therapy and hope that some of my issues will be resolved that way! Have not had any MAJOR issues, but know that if some of the above things continue I could
I'm in a good relationship again and we just got a dog and i see good things ahead
HOW ARE SOME OF YOU?!
Lori, do you think you've gained because you can eat more now - or is it because of the choices you make? I hate the word "diet" - but I think it's something I need to seriously consider. With all the running I have been doing, I fool myself into thinking that more food is okay, because I'll burn it off. Problem is... I don't burn it off. Stupid old mind games. I have just a bit over a week left of training, then I run my 1/2 marathon on May 3rd.
Once my schedule gets lighter, I think I am going to join weigh****chers. I think I may make better food decisions if I were held more accountable.
I am really struggling. I have gained 40 of the 150 lbs I originally lost. I'm very scared.

I completed all my runs last week and am off to a good start this week.
I have been watching what I eat a little more carefully and am grateful for my husbands support.
I still do a protein shake every day - and most times, an additional on after running. I found a website that sells my brand at an unbelievable price - so I bought twice as much! The price was that good!
Do you guys eat fruits? I stopped eating them when I had my surgery, and never really went back to them. I occasionally have bananas, I like them best.
I find I like the Kashi frozen dinners.
What are you guys eating?
First, congratulations on your decision to quit smoking! It's a tough thing to do, but you CAN do it!
I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but now would be the perfect time to crank up the exercise. From doing it in the past, you know that it makes you feel good, and when you feel good, you try harder. It will keep you busy, and your mind off of other things.
Good luck to you!

We are in 2009 now and we will hit our 4 year marks this May. It's hard to believe that it's been that long already. I find it easier to make bad decisions, and harder to work them off. Times have certainly changed. I'm back to the old battle of weightloss. Some days I feel like I could eat everything in sight - and even at almost 4 years out - have gotten "stuck" more than I'd like to admit. I have been working very hard to maintain my weight and good health. Last year I started running, just twice a week, and only for a few months, I didn't take it too seriously. This year, I started in January and I run 5 times a week. I have set a few goals throughout the year to keep myself going. I weigh 15lbs more than my lowest weight, and by the BMI chart, am overweight by 2. That hurts, I was normal for so long, I just want to be normal. I am going to try and post more often, to be accountable.
I hope everyone out there is making good decisions. Care to share your struggles?
Thanks,
Tammy
