Its been a very long time!

Not sure if anyone remembers me Rebecca, I have been gone for a long long time. I had surgery 5/9/07 in Portland Oregon

I started at 261 and am now at 164 and happy with that. At 14 months post op I found out I was pregnant and I now have a 9 month old baby boy and a 5 year old. I gained 17lbs during my pregnancy  and have lost 27 lbs since having him. Am I working on losing weight NO am I happy about it the extra loss? Yes LOL .  I still feel full very easy and I can't eat a lot of sugar. I don't do my protien first which I wish I still did and I don't take my vitamins :(  I wonder if its all going to come crashing down. I don't consider myself a success , anyone can lose weight but keeping it off is the true test ya know? 

I read some of the posts and am happy to see everyone and your all doing soooo well! 

Hi Rebecca!  Congratulations on the new baby!  I'm so happy for you!  It sounds like you're doing great!  I feel so bad that I don't check in too much.  I really should.  It seems weird we're all getting ready for our third anniversaries and I still feel like a rookie at this. :)

Thanks for checking in!!!

I can't believe 3 years is around the corner... Where did the time go?? I haven't checked in for a very long time but I don't know if thats a good thing we are all moving forward with our lives or a bad that we don't really have a lot of support like we used to. I stopped going to the support group around here but a part of me thinks going back would be a good thing. Life is so busy I just don't have the extra time lol..thats so sad to say.  Hope you had a great New Years and I'm so happy to say my new year resolutions didn't involve weight! How great is that?? 

Hugs to all,

Rebecca

Congratualtions Rebecca!!  You are doing great!  Wish I could say the same, but I am working on it now. 

I do know what you mean about the keeping it off, since I have gained back 20 lbs.  I now have to lose that because it is really getting to me.  I don't want to regain everything!!

Hold your head high and know that you can do it! We all have to take it 1 day at a time. This isn't a spint its a marathone. Thank you for replying to my message. I was thinking that maybe no one did remember me!  Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you ...were a team and thats what were here for, support! 

Big hugs,

Rebecca
