Getting back on track Post Holidays
I haven't been on here for quite some time and realized once I got back on how helpful it really is!!!
I was doing really well with the weight loss on my own until Christmas! I even got through staff parties and get togethers in December but once Christmas Day hit so did the cravings for cookies
I kind of felt like the cookie monster for about a week. Not to mention all of the other goodies that go with the holidays.
So I have put on about 6 pounds since Dec 22, but as of today, I am going to TRY really hard to get back on track. I also have been neglectful of the exercise part of all this too so need to get back to walking at least!
Well I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year and continued success for weight loss in 2011!
I am really hoping to hear from someone in the near future to get things rolling......I'm trying to be patient and not think about it too much. I wasn't expecting to hear from anyone until the new year but it seems to be on my mind more lately. I'll just keep on trying and waiting until then.......

Hey Sus,
I agree this site helps me stay on track and concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing... I find if I get off track that tracking my daily food intake on this site (under tools and nutrition tracker) really helps me get a grip and get back with the program. I find it so funny that when the 'team' at the wls clinic asked me to do this I thought it was a complete waste of time - and I still thought it was a complete waste of time right up until the time I had surgery... After surgery I was in a stall and couldn't seem to get out of it, so one day I came on here and tracked my food intake & soon I wanted to do it - but for me - for my eyes only - not so someone could look at it and analyze all of my shortcomings! Anyway, I got a bit off track over the holidays too and I am going to start tracking my intake again & get the heck back to the gym!!
Don't beat yourself up, just get up & dust yourself off & go from here - that's what I'm trying to do! :))

I have had a pretty good week. My birthday was Wednesday and I went out to lunch with a friend and had Scallop pesto fettucine which was delicious but not so good for me!!
Since August when I attended the group session, I had lost around 36 lbs up to Christmas. Over the holidays I gained around 5 lbs back but this week I have lost 1 or 2 lbs. I try hard to only get weighed on Sundays, as opposed to daily which can drive me crazy!!! so I will know better on Sunday. I do NEED to get back to walking though, I think that for me that is a huge key.
I am very glad that you are back on track and I too hope that you stay there until next Christmas!!! I cannot wait to hear from someone about some kind of appointment but as "they" say patience is a virtue
Keep up the good work!

It's so true about the walking - if I don't get out (which I didn't today - my 3 year old is sick) I usually don't lose...
Hang in there - they should be calling soon!! It's a long wait & sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel - but hey, you have already started - 36 lbs is awesome!!!
