4 years out today!!

Life is good. I am 4 years out today. I have been through a lot.....tt, hernia repair, stricture and low iron, but all in all I am grateful for wls. I have keep off 100 pounds of the 125 I lost 3 years ago. I still need to lose 50 to get to goal, but at least I am not where I was. God is good. Now the best news is I am going to be a grandma in a few weeks!!! I am so excited, can you tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations  on reaching this next milestone and keeping almost all the weight off that you lost initially...The thing I fear most is waking up one day ravenous and suddenly putting back on everything I've lost, I am determined NOT to let this happen and will take whatever steps are necessary to keep myself on track...I understand 10-15% bounce back is pretty common after the 2 year mark, I'm there now, so we shall see...As for you, YOU'VE DONE GREAT !...Keep working your program, those last 50 are still within your reach, you still have a great tool just keep using it Alesia

Happy Fourth Birthday to you and of course many more!  Congrats on being a Grandma!  What a good feeling huh!  I am glad to hear you are maintaining your loss.  Keep smiling! Debbie

i am a young grandma of two. Best feeling in the world. I relate to the weight loss too. I am 4 years out and still have 40 lbs to go. After gaining 12 I joined the gym and have been able to get about 9 lbs off. Today... it is more about trying to kill those bad habits I seemed to gravitate back into and excercising. We can do it... you can do it. I have custody of my grandaughter who is 16. She has about 40 lbs to lose... and we talk about "eating healthy" .. not dieting. Good luck.. and you are not alone.

Congrat on your anniversary, i too am 3 yrs. out. lost 150lbs, and have that last 30 to go, i know it's all about working out and getting back on the protocol diet. today i start, been back on the boards now and am getting the inspiration i need. this board helped me so much. enjoy your new grand baby. peace and joy, margaret

Congratulations on all the great things that has happened in the past 4 years. I have to tell you though that becomeing a grandmother will be one of the most blessed events could happen. It may even eclispe weight loss. Just be careful not too hug them too hard . I have six and they are growing up so fast . Just enjoy all of it because time does fly!!!!

Congratulations on your 4th anniversary! Also on becoming a grandma soon. Being a grandma is just the best.
