I am sorry to hear that. I am so thankful that besides gaining weight back my family members have not had any lifelong issues.   9 lbs in a month!!! woohoo!!!!  do that 10 months that is 90 lbs!!  You can do this. Stay consistent.  It didn't take a day to gain and it won't go away that quickly either.     I have a plan for tomorrow...I eat lots and lots and lots of veggies before dinner (volumetrics is my pal) The veggie tray (no dip) is my BFF.  When it is time for dinner I have a touch of what I like and then get outta there!  I can't wait for the "worms in dirt" that my sister will make...I have a very specific amount and then, get out!!!   I know you can do this. Just keep swimming.  I learned to forgive myself often.  If I have a slip up tomorrow I will forgive me and then make my next choice a healthy choice.  Have a happy day!   I am around and I would love to be supportive as you do this!!  

I started eating "better" and exercising on oct 22.  3 weeks later I lost 9 lbs. I'm nervous though because of thanksgiving and I had a soda today, I gave up soda when I started. I pray I'm still losing. If not, I know what I need to do to start and that would be eat less!!!!! 

It is nice to meet you! This is a lonely board.

I decided to do what I had to do after 3 family members all had regain after surgery. I went and did the head work and ta-da, seem to be doing better now.

Hope you stop in frequently!!!

You can do it! I am living proof that if you wake up and still have activity in your limbs then you can and will lose the weight in time. I will say I have enjoyed the getting to know myself over the last 2yrs and like Supergirl said, "you can if you choose too"

I am 61 and have a lot of hanging skin.  However, I am not really concerned about it at my age, but if I was younger I would have something done.

A friend from here, had the tummy done and she said it was pretty painful but worth it.
