Topic: RE: Hi Everyone
Don't get discouraged, we'll get there. You didn't fail, you had a set back, you acknowledge it and are working on it. I did the same....crazy how fast the weight comes back when we aren't paying attention:( Good luck to you in your journey
Topic: RE: Getting back on track......
I too have not been on in years. I never did quite manage the site well either, so I don't think I ever got the true benefit of it. The first few years the weight came off pretty easy. As time went on I stopped paying so much attention and I put on another 40+ pounds. So my lowest had been 200 which was about 3 years ago, and then last year my weight was 244. It kind of snuck up on me, but about a year ago I decided that enough was enough. I had come way too far to let myself go any further. So rather than concentrate on taking things out I focused on putting things in. I added more healthy foods and as a result I wasn't eating as much of the unhealthy food. This past fall I joined a gym and lost the weight that had regained and an extra 20+ pounds:) I still have to be really careful of my food choices or I'll gain weight at an alarming rate:( Now I am the heathiest and the fittest I have ever been. Not yet at an ideal weight according to the charts, but ideal for me:)

Topic: RE: Getting back on track......
I was glad to read your post.
I too have gained some of the weight back and feel the difference. The problem is it is difficult for me to exercise or get my water in during the winter.
I also have been a bit depressed and premenopausel which has caused noticeable stress eating on my part!
Good luck to you.
I began my journey at 410 and still am below 300, but I wanted so badly to get below the 200 mark.
Hopefully, both of us will get back on track in 2011.
Thanks for listening.

Topic: Getting back on track......
Haven't been on here in a couple of years but I figured this would be the best place to get back on track with my eating program. It will be nice to hear from people with similar struggles!
My weight going into surgery was 256! Now I'm 5 ft tall so I was a big girl! Lol! After surgery I lost a total of 130 pounds bringing me to 131 at my low point. I was a size 4-6 and the happiest I have ever been. Recently I have started gaining so I have gained about 30 lbs in the past year. I can really tell a difference! The "freedom of movement" factor is def an issue.
So I have decided to "come home" and lose this 30 lbs the correct way with resuming my eating plan (high protien), finding some excersize, and generally following "the rules".
I hope to keep posting here and reading up so don't mind me if I vent or share a victory. I would like to hear about your struggles/victories at this stage as well.
Let's keep each other posted..lol
thanks

Topic: Building a WLS Iphone, Blackberry App- HELP !!!
Hi Ladies and Gents,
I am in the process of building an app specifically related to WLS. I want to know what specifically you would want the app to do for you. Some of the responses I've gotten so far have been:
- send reminders about vitamins, water, protein
- meal planning
- exercise suggestions
- weight loss tracker
Anything you could think of that would make your post op wls journey go more smoothly I would appreciate. If you've started to regain weight, how could the app help you get back on track. I'll be posting this on a couple of forums. I appreciate your input.
