Well it looks like we are in the same boat, I gained as well, I blame the winter but it was also allot of stress during those months. Kids, finances, grandpa moving in, school. When I realized it I came right back here and so far I have been doing much better.

Were are all here for you! You can do it. I know I can,

I started my weekend up at my parents' cabin.  I had just started full liquids and was happy to just sit around some and try out some of my new food choices.  Held my own as we celebrated my daughter's bday there, and took a good long sniff or two of a really yummy smelling burger...

Ended the weekend at a really tough funeral.  Somehow I didn't eat any of the desserts served or the fried/cheesy comfort food that came later.  I was sad I didn't get to eat any, but happy at the same time that I didn't leave with that terrible feeling of having just gorged myself...

So- it's my first full week weigh in.  I know these numbers won't last, but today I am smiling. 


Starting/Highest Weight: 313
Day of Surgery: 300
Last Week: 298
Today: 288.4

Hey everyone, I am still here.  I look everyday but do not post like I used too.  I am very ashamed of myself, and do not have the balls to tell anyone till now.  I have let myself go and just can't seem to get my **** together.

For the last 2 years I have had alot to deal with, and turned to food to help me through.  I know I am well over 1 cup of food per meal and my choices are not great either.  I have said more times than we can count how I was starting over, today is the day, and what not well that never happened.  I have gained weight back.  I went from 300 lbs to 164 and now back to 184.  I just can't believe I let myself get away with it. 

We took our boys on a vacation this past weekend and did lots of walking this kinda gave me the jumpstart I needed.  I didn't eat like a pig while I was gone and drank lots of water.  Today so far I have been doing good at home as well.  I have seen such a change in the shape of my face and belly and it is not good.  My pants from last year are a little snug and that sucks.  I refuse to buy bigger sizes so if that means I need to diet than that's what it means. 

For all of you, DO NOT try to eat something if you are not to eat it.  The farther out you are the harder it gets to stay on track. I am hoping that this is a wake up call for me.  I would post a picture but can't get myself to do it. 

I am hoping, and praying that I am done with the excuses, and try to get myself back to where I should be.  In my little world I thought this would be easy WRONG...................Thanks for letting me vent a little...........Anyone in Hutchinson that would like to walk let me know.......................

Okay, I was sooo bad this weekend!  If it was bad for me, I ate it.  Pasta, ice cream, chocolate chip cookie, hash browns, buttered corn, you name it.  And yes, it showed on the scale. 

I guess I have lots of miles to go on the treadmill this week.

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  147.5
This week: 148.0
This week:  Gained 0.5 lbs this week.

I was lucky it wasn't worse, and I'm still below goal weight, but I was trying to gain a little "cushion."  Not there yet....

How was your Memorial weekend?

Took the family and some friends camping in Morristown this weekend, It was raining and muggy and not to sunny at all BUT I had the time of my life. The kids played, road bikes and we even played volleyball on Sunday. We got in some time walking, The husband went way farther then me, But I give him credit for that one. I didn't gain any weight because I did make sure to watch what I was eating. All in all it was great..

Going camping again in 2 weeks with the kids again to Brainerd and that again I am sure will be fun.
