We're coming in on 3 years...how are you doing?
How are you all doing? It has been a horrible, horrible year. I am struggling along. I am eating veggies and protein since April. I go to Weigh****chers meetings. I want to get back under 170 lbs. by my surgiversary. That is 10 lbs. in a month and I just don't know that it is possible. I gained up to 235 last winter because I simply gave up the fight. I didn't think it could get worse and surprise...it did! I feel like all the "easy fat" is gone and the stubborn fat is left behind. Any suggestions? I swim every day. I don't drink any calories. Take care, Daisy
WOW Daisy! Are you saying that you have lost 55 pounds since April? GREAT job!
I am glad to hear that you have gotten "back on track". There is even a group here on OH called BOTT (Back on track together) that you could join to help.
I understand about the "stubborn fat"! I stopped losing at 10 months out with 40 pounds to goal and no matter WHAT I do, it refuses to leave. I now go up and down the same 3-5 pounds, which is good according to my surgeons. They all say, "at least you are maintaining...." which may be true but it is still disappointing to still be "obese".
I try to look at the bright side and keep up the fight as much as I can. I DO understand giving up on the fight as this is a life-long battle and sometimes, when there are no losing results, it seems easier to give up.
Come to OH for support. This board has gone pretty dormant, but there is a "Graduates" board that is active and the "BOTT" group may also be helpful. On the "Graduates" board, someone posts a daily accountability thread where you post what you eat each day to help stay on track. Maybe this will help?
I wish you much luck and happiness.....keep the good things in mind.

Actually Dawn got me to thinking bout the low carb diet and I posted on there for a long time. I switched to fitday for a while and now have been doing OH health tracker and the wetos. Sometimes I feel like I fit in better at the failed wls or the revision board. I found the failed wls board is full of "lookers" with advice and the revision board has given up. I keep bouncing around because I don't really "fit" anywhere. I am a failiure that probably needs a revision but refuses to give up and can't have a revision...did that make sense? Thanks for your support. I also have 40 lbs to normal BMI. I am with you about feeling like we went through a lot to be obese but really it CAN get worse...just keep plugging along. Daisy
