Life Happens...somehow I thought that losing the weight would make life so much easier and it seems to be proving to me how little control I have.  It is my lame excuse for making excuses.  I wish I could tell you how to get past this but I haven't figured out myself.

Support groups are great and even our friends here are great at being a shoulder to cry or give you the kick in the pants when you need it.

Congrats on getting back on the right track.

Alicia,

I am willing to help you too.  I live in Nashville, so I am not close to you geographically.  What can I do to best help you?

I've got a membership w/the Rush in O.R. I've started there. I don't know how to get to Fountain City but I've asked my boyfriend who is on board w/me and regaining control of my wt problems. The hard part about going to meetings during the week is I have a second job and I usually work Sun. then Wed-Fri. The schedule changes wk to wk. I'm glad to have you as a support partner! Thank you!
Alicia,

I am willing to help.  Where are you going to work out?  You might be interested in attending a weight loss support group.  My wife and I attend the weight loss support group in Fountain City at the Fountain City United Methodist Church.  It meets the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm.

Best of luck to you on your weight loss.

I've been bad since having my surgery 5/4/03. I've gained 50lbs back and need to loose it and hopefully more.  I have the excuse of life happening but nothing good.  Divorce, 2 jobs, 2 teenage girls in high school have all helped add the wt on non of which will help getting the wt off except myself.  I am searching for a few friends who are willing to encourage me. I've already started to go back to the gym just this wk.  If your willing to help I'm in need of rescuing. Thank you
Alicia,
Live, Laugh, and Love Life!

Man, I sure do know how to start a thread :P  LOL!   Anyways, thank you so much for the advice about the supplements. I do come to the DS board, and have posted a couple of things there as well. :)  I'm working on getting all this vitamin stuff organized. It's alot of reading, that's for sure, lol!

You can use a flex spending account regardless of where it is purchased because this is medically needed.  I generally purchase online and get reimbursed.
