Hello, good people!!!

I keep finding new corners of OH that interest me, and I'm glad to have discovered this BAF!

My intro & story is below:

I had RNY April 21st of 1999.  I weighed 310 that morning. 

I lost 132 pounds to land at 178 on November 19, 2001 and stablized at 180; a very comfortable weight for me. It's the weight my Doc & I agreed on.  I'm 5'8", 180 put me in a size 10 with a few remaining 12 items.  I stayed there for the first 5 years.  I was very compliant, and exercized regularly.

Over the following years, I gradually slacked off the exercise and have been sliding out of compliance with foods.  I slowly gained 40 pounds back. This put me at 220 as per April 15. 

I'm now back on track, full-steam per April 15, and while the scale is being stubborn, I'm pushing onward. 

I'm back to protein first, no drinking 30 min before/after meals, high-protein/lo-carb meals, taking supplements, & exercising. 

Chat with you soon,

~Lynn
