It's time to **** or get off the pot.

My body just LOVES being around 200+  It's beyond crazy.  Over a year at this weight and started to gain.  I saw as low as 196 now 211.  I've had some crazy **** going on but still!  So I'm back at the gym and trying to make it happen.  After so long stressing about the number I just kinda gave up.  But now it's summer and I'm like, COME ON ALREADY! 

Don't like the way that sounds..  I think my body may want to do the same- it's really comfortable and easy here.  Press through and do something else. 

If it is to be, it's up to me.  We came this far, we can go to the next level. 

Let me know how you're doing.

I am so jealous of you guys. I would give ANYTHING to see a 1 or even a 2 instead of the 3. I've been working so hard since getting the surgery in March, lost 48 lbs and have been stuck at 301 since the beginning of June. So, I'm working out more (much easier now that my summer class is over!) and will hopefully be below 300 in a few weeks. My ultimate goal is to be 275 by the time I go back to work in mid-august.

Well, I guess I should get my ass to work! 

GOOD LUCK, LISA! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!!

Heather,

I can relate.  I get so jealous of our OH family who got wls at 230 lbs and are 115 lbs now and look like a Beyonce backup dancer.  Let the energy from that jealousy propel you forward.  Believe me when I say someone is jealous of you too.

Thanks so much for the encouragement.  Come on, girl, let's do this thing.

Hi! 

I understand wholeheartedly!!!  When I went for a fill in March I weighed 278. I went this past week and weighed in at 268 according to their scales.  This means that I only loss 10 lbs over 4 months.  I have been teetering between 270 and 275 for it seems forever.  Thank you for sharing the motivation that you've mustered up to continue this journey.  You, too, have inspired me today with your posting.

Sincerely,

Press forward, Sis.  We're in this together..

Ah does your story sound familiar!! I have three teens, 19yr girl, 17yr boy, and 16yr girl. Sometimes, the drama makes me so mentally drained I don't have the initiative to go DO anything! I am a newbie to WLS, as well to this site, but an old hand at trying to lose weight and exercise! I do well for awhile, when things are running smoothly and I can focus on ME but when drama arises, well it takes priority over my personal focus. It may not be the answer, but whatever, that's what happens. It's part of being a mom I guess. THEN once the cycle got broken, it's hard to get back into it again. Good luck on getting back on track, and getting back into your routine!! I believe that part of the reason we drop our own personal goals is because we feel selfish focusing on ourselves rather than our children when we know they need us. I need to work on the guilt for sure and stick to a routine!! Thinking of ya!!
