Back On Track

This is my first time to this site. Thank you Pam S-G for inviting me. I have not logged onto OB help in months! I've lost 79 pounds and am just stalling there. But I know I have not done my part to ensure additional weight loss. I had rotator cuff surgery in Dec and have been home for the past three months recuperating, working from home...sitting on my rear and no exercise, munching on stuff that I shouldn't. Your invitiation to join the site is the motivation I think I need to get back on track. I look forward to any support from others out there! Thanks, Karen

Wecome to the board...

Well welcome to the fray! We really are one of the bestest groups on here. You do not have to worry about catty or tactless remarks from anyone. Feel safe to vent or crow. We love to support eah other here. Glad you decided to join us!! Nickie

Hiya Karen! It's a pleasure to meet you! All of us are looking forward to seeing your posts on our July board. Nan

Karen, Stop by often. Don't be afraid to just jump in. This is a safe place to post about your struggles and successes. We don't allow flaming, but might offer you some constructive and supportive advice. Watch out for Nickie though, she's a wild one!! C

ahemmm...WHO is the wild one?!!! It is C aka Channan...aka Malibu C...aka C Leigh that you need to worry about!!! Nickie

What the...........I KNOW you're not talkin' to me girl! Wild, wild Nickie!!!! C

You forgot "attention *****"

Hell Karen and WELCOME! I can understand that anytime a physcial injury or pain of some kind is involved it is very hard to motivate ourselves to 'do the right thing'.. And I also realize that hearing that same old tired 'work your tool'.. dosen't always help. But thats the way it really is. We have to work it. there is no other way at this point. You have lost about 80 pounds so far and that is wonderful! Now you have to make a conscious desision to keep going. I don't mean cutting back to basics.. and drinking protein 3 times a day and no food; I don't personally belive in that. But, getting up and getting moving everyday. walk, bike, bend, do what you can. and just don't snack on any thing that you know in your heart is crap. We all know what our trigger foods are and we all know at this stage what crap is. Look for fresh healthy choices and keep it small.. Keep Posting Karen. I will be here and so will the other great people of this board to help you through every step of the way.. peace mo

Great advice Mo!! Like I say......." You get out of it, what you put into it!" Good luck with that elusive century mark today! Malibu C
