Haven't been around in a while.  Had RNY March 2006 and lost 110 pounds in the first 10 months.  Then ooops....got pregnant......have a beautiful baby girl and unfortnately now I weigh more than what I did at 9 months pregnant.  Need ot lose about 20-25 pounds, possibly more, but that would get me back to where I was pre-pregnancy and I was pretty darned happy.  However, I haven't followed the rules very well.  But starting today, I'm back on plan.  Going back to the basics of liquids for a few days and trying to get my pouch down to size.  Really need to stay away from carbonated beverages.  Wish me luck.  Hope everyone in hoosierland is doing well today!

Thanks, Trac.  Day one went fine.  It was a little rough.......but I did it.....I actually did it.  I forgot to mention that I'm also quitting smoking (smoked about a pack a week) and trying to quit drinking as well (that didn't help my weight gain at all).  Not that I drank all the time, but one night a weekend throwing in an extra 1000 calories or so.....not very helpful.  Thanks so much for the support.  Day two is here.....gettin ready to have my protein shake for b-fast.  Made the kiddos some whole wheat pancakes with lite syrup and wasn't even dying to try them.  Of course pancakes aren't really my thing, so that definitely helped!  LOL

Hi Melissa,
I'm starting again too.  Been off track for a bit, but now I am going back.  I lost 130lbs and gained some back so now I have to rejoin the 100's club.  I'm almost there.  Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl, what a blessing!  Just wanted to let you know, I am right there with you, restarting.
