I like this number! From my highest, 320 ,  I had 160 pounds to loose to get to the low end of my weight range. I have lost 81% of excess weight.

From surgery 278,  I have lost 73%

Thanks for the boost- I needed some good numbers to spur me on with this "back on track" phase.

Thanks for all the advice. I did speak to someone at EMMC again today and they referred me to Lynn Bolduc but she's out till next week. So hopefully she can help me out with this.

Thanks again guys

Also who did you talk to?  Was it just the office staff?  I'd ask to speak to the program coordinator, Lyn Bolduc, she's awesome.  You need more information about why.

Good luck!

I am struggling with getting motivated to do exercise too.  I am definitely healed enough from surgery almost three months ago but I find the motivation elusive, 

Ok, so it's been a LAZY winter and early spring for me so far and I have not done well with food choices, but I am pulling up my bootstraps and determined to get back on track.  I don't want to feel blah anymore and that's the way I've been feeling lately, resulting from personal issues I'm sure.  I'm not happy with what the scale says nor the way my clothes are fitting. 

Today I went for a 3.5 mile walk while my boys were gone and I started using Dailyplate again to log my activity and food consumption.  My gym membership expired and do not forsee joining again in the near future...need the extra money elsewhere.  So I will have to make due with the nice weather and utilize my Fit Board when I get the chance (when I'm not tripping over my kids bc they think it's hilarious to watch mommy exercise).  Definitely need to get back into a routine of at least 3x's a week for exercise.
