Thanks to everyone here!

Good morning, fellow grads!  I just wanted to take a moment to just thank everyone for being here, giving your input, discussing, offering support, sharing, etc., etc.  I really need to be here, sometimes more than I care to admit.  I think just hanging around more lately has really helped me.  I've been struggling (hoping) to lose some of the 25 pounds that I have regained since my lowest post-WLS weight.  I think largely because of the support I find here, I am actually starting to get back on track.  I feel I'm eating better and being more consistent with exercise, and although I haven't lost any weight, I haven't gained any in a while either.  So it feels kind-of good to know that I CAN find my way into a maintenance plan that I can live with. So just thank you, to all of you who spend time here.  We all need each other and can help each other stay strong. Have a wonderful day! Carlita

I too am so grateful for finding this board. It has been so instrumental in getting me back on track and in the right mind set that I need to be in to continue to be a success. Most of all to know that I am not the only one that is having an issue. I think it maybe a  part of the process for some of us and this will be a good lesson for us, that it ISN'T a magic bullet. There is no such thing. One thing I do know. Anything worth having in life  we have to work for. Take care---Toni

Carlita, I feel the same way about you and everyone else here. I gain so much perspective, insight and many good ideas from being here. Support helps to keep you on track, most days. This is just a great  place to be a part of!

Thanks for the responses, Traci and Toni.  You know, even if we can't be here "all the time" it's good to know we can touch base and re-connect with our fellow grads.  This is a great source of support, and the more I come here, the more strongly I feel about that.
