I too, am finding the weight slowly creeping back. However, I rarely exercise and am a big snacker. I am sure that is the major reasons the weight is creeping back. I am still in a managable area, not too much has come back, a few pounds, no more than 10. I can't remember what I ate in the beginning, the weight just seemed to peel off no matter what I ate. So, I just ate whatever. I am considering looking at my old Weigh****chers stuff and trying to follow that. Or I may just divide my meals up to 3-4 a day (smaller portions) with a small snack or two in between. Yesterday, I tried to go a certain period of time without putting food into my mouth. It was like 12:15 and I decided to try to wait until 2 to eat anything more. It was HARD!!!! But I did it. I think that may be my problem as well, just randomly putting crap in my mouth without thinking. I bet I would curtail a lot of calories by just doing that. And of course....adding exercise on a consistant basis....that is sooo hard for me. Good luck Ruth....just being aware is half the battle and I know that you will be successful in the long run. Amy

So I now weigh 4 pounds more than I did a year ago! I weigh 15 pounds more than my lowest weight. I cannot let this trend continue because I REFUSE to go back to where I came from. It is NOT an option. So what do I do? Back to basics...so what are the basics for you? I feel I am searching around for the illusive magic formula that works for others - a certain number of calories, or % or protein, etc etc. but none of those works for me. Truth be told, I have no idea how I lost the weight I have. It certainly wasn't any magic formula that I found. It felt more like guess work and luck rather than doing the right things. I cannot remember what I ate the first year when I was losing. So ANY advice on what your basics are/were will be helpful. Thanks guys...

Holy, I am going to be 102, even with the extra weight and lack of excersize.

Happy Anniversary Amy!!!! It is my anniversary as well today! I forgot about it too until I got the e-mail! I want to lose 30 more pounds before I have my surgery! Hopefully by October! COngrats!!!!

Hi Amy congratulations ~ you've done a great job over the past 2 years. Wish I had your insurance though for the plastic surgery. Looks like I've got to get used to this skin I'm in as surgery has been denied Oh well, small price to pay for losing 100 pounds. You look great in your pics by the way
