I just wanted to check in on my 4 years out. I am still at goal butt naked in the am after going the way. I lost this weight just in time for family trauma. This takes up all my time. Before life hit I was enjoying life and having such a great time.

CONGRATS!! Isn't that life? I went through the same thing - GOAL - then life goes FUBAR! Good for you for keeping in control! If you need to check in - head check - whatever. We're always here.

Good on ya, mate!

Wow! That's what I'm talkin' about! Congratulations to you.

Similar story here -- since surgery 2.5 years ago we've had 3 deaths in the family, hubby was diagnosed with cancer, I retired, all the pets died, we moved twice, etc. Life's stresses never end. Post-op I just don't medicate them with food anymore.

Pine view ... so sorry. I understand those stresses. For many years we cared for my mom who had Alzheimer's in our home. That's hard, hard duty. I send you hope that you can find some time just for yourself.

Sending you wishes for some peace.
