Been Lurking for sometime now

Just wanted to stop by and say HI AGAIN!!! It's been a long time since I last posted, but I have responded to a few posts here and there. I check the board on a regular basis, just haven't had the time to post too much.

I am now 3-1/2 years out from my surgery and holding my weight steady. A while back I had gained 40 pounds back, but then I started working at McDonald's and I lost 30 of that.... Believe it or not!!!! And yes, I was being bad and eating their food on my breaks, but I still was dropping weight (an average of 2 pounds a week).... So now I have quit Mickey D's about a month ago, and my weight is staying the same. Wooo Hooo!!! I was so worried that I would start putting the weight back on, but I haven't.

We got a camper last fall and just started using it this spring. I am so excited about that. We have used it 3 times already and I can't wait for our next trip. We will be traveling to Bad Axe. That is where my hubby is from.

I don't eat like I should, and I haven't exercised in a long while, but I am working on that. I have just been so tired and I found out that I am anemic so now that I am taking the extra iron and some B-12, my energy level is picking up and I hope to start back into an exercise routine really soon.

Well, there is much more that has gone on in my life since I last put up a thread, but I don't want to ramble into a long post. So I will try and start posting a little more regularly.

Hope everyone has a great evening!

HUGS to ALL,

Shaun,

Welcome back.....you've got to be the ONLY person in history to loose weight while working at Mickey D's!

I have an ex co-worker that works at Zukey Lake Bar (or something like that), I love that place, sitting upstairs in the summertime, ahhhhhhhhh, that's what summer in MI is all about!

My only suggestion to you, is take Vit C w/ you iron. Vit C helps Iron absorb easier.

Stick around, we need more 'oldies', hahahaha,

What a story....losing weight while working at Mcdonalds. That made me smile. I agree with Edie, you must be the only person to do that. I used to work at Wendy's during my senior year in HS and all through college. I used to love to dip fries in mayonaise. And we'd crunch up saltines and mix them into our frosty's. No wonder I had a weight problem LOL!!

It's always nice to hear from people who are farther out and how successful they are!
