Time to come back

Hi All, So many new faces.  I have been around a long time, used to post regularly but have been only lurking for the past year or so.  I have been toying with the idea of "getting involved" again and  tonight seemed like the right time.   Just thought I would reintrodurce myself.  

hi maren! do i read that right - you're down 100 pounds? wow...come on in.  we need your wisdom!

Hi Neecee, Thanks for the welcome back!  Actually, at one point I was down 150 pounds but I have regained about 70 pounds.  Boy that looks so much worse in writing.  Anyway, hence the it's "time to come back".   I am looking forward to becoming a contributing member (again) of what appears to be a great group of motivated people!

Ohhh yeah!! WOOOOHOOOOO!! MOTIVATION MOTIVATION WOOO WOOOOOO! I KnoW I can I KNow I CAn! Whoooooooooteeeeeewooooo!!!  BEEEP BEEP>. YAH YAH YAH! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!   HEheheheh Hhahahah Hoohohohoh!!!!  YES!   Definitely motivated here!!   Come on back in and join the shrink-fest!!

You lurker you. I'm glad you've come back.  I love the people here.  Everyone here has similar struggles and victories and it's great to have their support.  I see you have already had a great weight loss.  Welcome back.

Maren!!!! Welcome back!  It's great to see an old face around here.  I came back to the non-op board recently, I have been spending most of my time on the plastic surgery board!  I'm glad to have you back, don't be a stranger now!! Donna

Hi Donna, I am still lurking around,  good to see you and Maren !!!!!!!!! I am still trying to maintain :) Love ya !!!!!!! Phyllis !!!!!!!!!!

Phyllis!!!!!! i was wondering where you got to!  I miss you, lady!  Lots of new folks here but the board had died and they brought it back to life!!!

Always trying to maintain, always a conscious effort.  I hope you and yours are doing fantastic.  Don't be a stranger. Donna

Hi Donna, (& Chris & Mamanay) Thanks for the warm welcome.  I have been following your PS journey Donna, thanks so much for sharing it with the rest of us. I have also been following the daily questions.  Looks like a lot of fun, I will be putting my two cents in on those!

Welcome back!!!  This journey is a live long journey.  Once you lose the weight if you don't remain diligent it sure creeps back on doesn't it?  I kept telling myself for years how it was all baby weight that I was still carrying, but guess what?  When my baby turns 15 it sure is hard to convince myself that that could possibly be true....LOL!  Come on in and offer and receive support, we are all in the same boat.
