Thanks for this post! I usually only track my weight when it goes down, but I think I will start tracking it constantly, like you. That is a good idea. I need to find an exercise I like. I'm 1 year post op. I would prefer swimming but with my kids and my work schedule, it just isn't feasible. I need something I can do at home at 5 am before everyone else gets up.

You look AMAZING, Stacy! I appreciate your honest posts about the struggles to stay focused on off the crap food. It's HARD...but our tool makes it a whole lot easier to get things heading in the right direction again.
