!!Breaking News!! The Tool works if you do!!!
Oh, it's not breaking news, now is it?
This isn't about "look what I did". So what is it about? It's about "even at 2 1/2 years out", you can get back on track. I'm a firm believer in nipping it in the bud, however. I have decided to get back down towards my 132 ish weight....and sticking to between 130-135 and NOT 135ish....because that quickly turned into 140-142 etc. etc.
Not that it's a "wow" moment like some of my others but after just a few days of getting REALLY back on track, making sure I get my exercise in, watching what I eat, etc etc etc I've dropped a decent amount of weight this week.
I'm well aware that most of this is PROBABLY water weight, but have confidence that I can once again be in control.
My highest weight (WITHOUT my female water retention) of late, where I had been slacking and eating some sugar and lots of carbs and all sorts of stuff...was around 142
Last night when I woke up (my "morning" weigh in) I was already down to 137.
Friday afternoon I have a fitness assessment at the gym, and then I plan to work out.
Saturday I have my first personal training session - which he told me we will NOT be working out, just testing and all that jazz, so I plan to stay at the gym after that and work out (or go ahead of time...but I don't want to "tire" myself out and not be able to give him a true assessment of what I can/cannot do, I"ll take a look at the classes and figure it out)
Thanks for all the support and friendship along with the kicking to get back into basics and all that other stuff :) I really appreciated it.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Great Job!! I'm proud!
Amen Pam.
At 5 years out, I am going through the same process and it still works.
My Normal weight for years was always approx 132-135. After my pregnancy, and slowly sneaking back into carbs, I not only kept the baby weight but couldn't get it off and was up to 152. I flipped.
After realizing it was MY fault, not Jantzens (lol), I made changes. I got down to 144 on my own, and this morning, I was 140.5. Now with the surgery and swelling and so forth, I don't know what I will end up at after all the healing but I am still only eating lean proteins, veggies and a RARE Arnolds sandwich thin if I am only up to eating a quick sandwich.
I agree. A few pounds leads to the "ish" weigh and before you know it, you are 10 pounds more than that will only lead to 15,20,,,,,etc.
I am totally with you on this journey of taking control again. Good luck to you!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Just wanted to say "thank you" for your openness and honesty as I am about 14 months out and worry about staying focused when I'm two, three... ten years out. Thus far I have done very well, but know food is my demon and I have to always keep ME in check with it/around it.
I actually removed the scale from my bathroom as I became obssessive with weighing myself like every other day. Now I pull it out every two weeks, weigh in and put it back.
thanks again,
Chanel

Pam,
Congrats on getting back on track and thank you for sharing with us. I too need to watch better than I have been ---- have been using the plastic surgery as an excuse for needing more calories to heal . . . while that may be true, not all calories are created equal so I don't think those hershey's kisses are going to help me heal any better. I'm committed as well to really work the tool so it can work for me.
