Chime In!!!

How are we all doing? I am maintaining a 160 pound loss...still trying to getb the last 20 pounds gone but they like me and dont want to go Diana 9/17/03 360/200/still aiming at 180

Hello Diana, I don't think people come here much any more...I just happened to be passing by and popped in for a moment. I started out at 368 pounds and got all the way down to 238 before creeping back up to 288 again...*sigh* So now, I am learning about what RNY really is, fighting to get back in control, and working hard to really change my lifestyle, all the things I should have done during my honeymoon phase! Congratulations on your loss and may the scale continue to go downward for you!

I drop in now and again... Unfortunately I've forgotten my password and email address I used to set up my original account so I've lost my BLOG! I'm upset about that one. Anyway I've gained about 10 pounds this year but I'm pretty sure it's from the birth control I'm using (nuvaring). I'll be off that within the next 3 months (talk husband into a vasectomy)... I guess I'll find out if I lose the weight. 263/115/125 (I'm 5' 2")

Hi Diana, I too rarely come to this board, but just happened to be looking for some information so decided to take a peek. Doing well and have for the most part maintained my weight loss with minor ups and downs. Can honestly say that this is the best thing that I ever did for myself and my life and health has been so much better since having the surgery. It's been a godsend. Patti 9/23/03 308/today at 139

Hi, Just thought I would take a look and see what was happening here. I just wrote a paragraph in WLS graduates, because yesterday was my anniversery. I have gained 30 pounds back and now have lost 15 of that. I never hit my weight goal,but I did my health goal. I can now walk 5 miles a day and do walk at least 4 times a week. I eat healthier and have more fun swimming and tubeing with my kids and grandkids this summer. Also in the past year I have reconnected with my first love(after 40 yrs of no contact), We have known each other since we were 5. We are now 60. We are now planning on spending the rest of our lives together. So although I haven't reached my goal weight, I am so much happier than I was 4 yrs ago. Evie

I thought I would pop in and see how everyone is doing... I made a promise to come here more.. Guess I didn't do that.. I am now 4 years out and say that I have no problems... I did lose down to 140 lbs which had my family worried sick..I gained back 15 lbs, and teeter between 153 to 159... I wear a size 8 jean...Being that I turned 50 this year..Well I am happy with that.. I wish everyone the same success. The only regret, well 2 .First I didn't do it sooner in my life..I suppose most of us have that one..And ....That I can't drink milk or eat ice cream...But I guess I have to live with that...I can have a couple of bites, or a couple of swigs of milk, but any more than that..and I get sick... Oh well...too bad. I guess that I can definitely live with that..LOL Cind

I'm here. 

Had a detour a few years ago where I was up to 235 (after getting down to 152) and started at 285.  Soul searching, dealing with other issues in my life and over the last two years I've lost most of that weight, putting me at 167.  I work out 6 days a week and eat okay.  I'm not perfect, but I get up everyday aiming for progress!  I'm 5'7".

I'm the happiest I've been in years.  Not only is the weight off, everything else is amazing.  Age, support programs, and exersise have given me the tools to live my life.  I'm so grateful every day I wake up.  My weight loss didn't bring me happiness, facing my fears and other issues brought it.
