Two-year check in!
I haven't been here in a year. Have been very happy with my sleeve, with my body, with everything, and in the meantime have gotten complacent.
So, the good news--my weight has stayed pretty painlessly within a ten-pound range I liked--155 to 165 for the past year. Yes, my low was 149 and I liked that even better, but I only hit it once. LOL. The important thing is--I have painlessly stayed within that ten pound range, and I couldn't be happier with my sleeve.
Now, the other side of the coin. I have felt myself sliding a bit and the scale is showing it. I am NOT happy about easing up higher than 165 and would prefer to stay in the 150s, to shift that ten-pound range below 160. And I've noticed that my half-hearted attempts haven't gotten anywhere so I'm back.
I am a writer. I am about to dive into a new novel which will mean old habits which will find a way of putting MORE pounds on if I don't nip this in the bud.
I'm back. Tomorrow morning I'll post my weight and get honest again on my stats here. This time I'm going to do measurements, too. I forgot to do that last time and never got around to it.
~waving at everyone~
Feels great to be here!

I too just passed my two year anniversary. I have been back on track for 2 months with diet and exercise but with no results. I am discouraged that I'm not seeing any movement whatsoever. It just hit me when I saw my weight from two years ago here on the site and it was 4 pounds less than I am right now. I am going to schedule a physical exam to check vitamin and thyroid levels and then just keep working. Hopefully at some point my body will change! :-) I wanted to wish you the best on your journey to re-commit to this process!
