I just found the May 2008 forum been on OH only a year. How is everyone?
i find it is tougher trying to lose about 20 lbs. (was 15 but found 5 with Easter!)
I still consider myself a success but would love to lose this 20 lbs. and maintain it.
We are coming up on 10 years! Hard to believe.
What are your struggles or advice for the rest of us?

Splenda and aspartame does that to me. Irritates the bladder. Creates urgency. Like I have to go.
I was drinking (flat) diet soda ..and I realized that it caused issues for me.
Plus - my IBS - if I have a flare - that affects the abdominal - pelvic muscles, and cause swelling .. That would affect the bladder.
Low magnesium and calcium - can cause more muscle contraction.
Even if does not hurt - sometimes mild bladder infection may cause urgency... Check that if you can.

However, not wanting to sound ungrateful, thank you for the complement. I'm glad that someone else in the May 2008 group is still on Obesity Help and doing well.
I can't believe it's been 4 years. I hope things are going well for everyone else. I got a pleasant surprise for our anniversary. After going from obese III at 550 lbs down to 236 on Thursday, I am now just plain old over weight!! I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t “Obese"!
Mind you she has lost 60 lbs just by eating better, because I'm eating, but she just can't see it in herself.
