Thanks for this post!  I usually only track my weight when it goes down, but I think I will start tracking it constantly, like you.  That is a good idea.  I need to find an exercise I like.  I'm 1 year post op.  I would prefer swimming but with my kids and my work schedule, it just isn't feasible.  I need something I can do at home at 5 am before everyone else gets up.

You look AMAZING, Stacy!  I appreciate your honest posts about the struggles to stay focused on off the crap food.  It's HARD...but our tool makes it a whole lot easier to get things heading in the right direction again.
