Topic: RE: It's been forever and I am losing the battle....
Of course you can do it. You made the decision to have the surgery that has given you a tool to help keep you motivated. It is extremely difficult to lose the come back pounds. But I know you ladies can do it, Just take one day at a time. Sometimes it requires you to do only 1 hour at a time. Just stop and think before you take that bite of whatever you have in your hand. Am I really hungry or am I eating for """Just because""" That seems to be my problem I eat for Just because I can. I am maintaining my weight though. I told my DH the other day if I didn't exercise like an exercise addict I would put it back on in no time at all. But I don't want to do that, I didn't have the surgery to be that big glob that had a hard time moving from place to place waddling around like a duck. So some days I struggle more than others. No one said it was the easy road even though most of the general public thinks that it is and we will never regain our weight. Boy are they wrong. We can regain our weight and it is not the easy way out. Each person still has to be accountable for what goes into their mouth. As one of the spin instructors keeps telling us """ It is a mind over matter, you can do anything your mind tells you to do"""" Of course she is talking about going the extra distance and pushing harder and working through the aching muscles while spinning. Her theory is that your body will only do what your mind tells it to do. I would like both of you ladies to post your progress in a week after you put your mind to it. I know you can do it!!!!

Topic: RE: It's been forever and I am losing the battle....
Tonight was the first time I have been on here in ages as well. I had my RNY in 2005 and I am up 35 pounds. Im strugglin too, but have finally decided I am gonna do this,,one pound at a time. We still are not at our presurgery weight, so we are still a success.
My first plan of attack,,is to write down everything that goes in my mouth,,drink the water,,and take the vitamins..things I have stopped doing long ago. So,,this is day one of my new success.
This is the hardest time of the year to lose too..all the goodies are everywhere. I love the cookies and the candy and the egg nog and the flavored coffee creamers and the specialty flavor ice creams...ugh! But I loved the feeling of being thin more,,and all thepretty clothes that are in my closet that I cannot wear. So, I made the choice..and chose what is most important to me.
Hope you can get yourself motivated...that is the hardest part. I can get motivated, its STAYING motivated thats hard!
Cmon,,we can do this,,one pound,,one day,,one moment at a time!!

Topic: It's been forever and I am losing the battle....
Hello... It's been forever since I have been on OH. I had surgery 10/08, lost 80lb... and got pg at 5 mos.... I now have a beautiful girl that is almost 1 and don't regret it a bit.
However, I am really struggling with the weight. I am 30lbs heavier than my pre pregnancy weight and only 50 lbs less than my surgery weight.
I just can't seem to get it all together and I don't want to lose this battle....
Experience, encouraging words, a swift kick in the head... it's all welcome.
I just need to find my way back and getting on here is a start.. I hope
