Hi Chelle, I don't know what to say except that your not alone. I also graze and eat too many carbs sometimes. My bad downfall is that I hardly ever excercise. I need to get my butt kicked. This week was the first time in months I excercised and at that I've only done it twice so far this week. You have done awesome in your weight loss. No more Easter candy. You'll start losing again.

Hi everyone! I've been having some major food issues here lately that I am not proud of... I've been in the Easter candy and various other carbs... In other words, I've fallen off the losers wagon and can't seem to get myself together... I've been under a lot of stress and as always I turned to my "best friend" - FOOD!!! Sometimes I wish they'd also done some brain surgery on me so stop this emotional eating stuff... My appetite has returned and that's what has made things so hard for me the past couple of months... Weight wise I haven't gained or lost anything in about 2 months & I still have a long way to go compared to some of you... I feel like such a complete loser right now as I watch the others around me that are losing weight still and I'm not... Heck I am now where some people started at and it's so utterly depressing to me... I'm just at a loss on how to get my motivation back and on the right track again... They say at 18 months you're most likely going to stop losing and that time is getting closer... I'm freaking out about it and I just don't know what to do to stop this now... What do you suggest because I need your help and support right now really bad? Chelle 423/250/under 200 would be great!!!

HERE I AM! I am lurking in the shadows ... jus****ching... waiting.... for something to post to! lol Anyway, I am fine just staying around the 187-190 area. I would love to hit my goal weight. I went down to 185 ad started to work on muscle tone. I went back up to 190 a week later. Let's hope it is all muscle tone. I have a goal to be down to 180 by April 8th and to be down to 175 ( my personal goal) by April 20th. I started to do something that I haven't done in 10 years. I am bicycling now! I wanted to teach my son. I have not succeeded in the past but this time I actually got on my mothers bike and took off. I had so much fun that my son got on his bike and started to chase me! We have been bike riding every nice day since. I am now looking for an attachment for my daughter to ride with me. They are so expensive! This would really help so that I could ride in the day while my son is at school. She is 4 and really wants to go riding with me! Enough babble! Happy to be lurking and glad to see a few more posts recently! your sister in WLS Chandi 305/187/?

Girlfriend, I'm always at the Goodwill lately. Actually I've found some really decent designer clothes at 2nd hand shops. Who woulda geussed that I could shop there and not "Catherines" after a year. Enjoy your weight loss and have a great time shopping. Hugs, Cheri

Cheri, Here I am. I'm loving the new me, although it is really hard to get used to at times. Take care, Loni
