Can I join you all???

 Hi everyone... 

Can I join your group?

I had RNY on 7/31/07, I started out at 395 and I am down to 216.  I got down to 194 for about 1 day... LOL ( 4 pounds from goal) and then it crept up and got comfy around 215-220 arrgghhh.

I just read that someone mentioned a 15 pound bounce back...arrgghhh  I hope that isnt what happened to me...:-(

I have started working my plan again, I admit I slacked off a bit.  I am trying to rid myself of all the carbs now, drinking shakes and eatting way way better... it is too easy to eat carbs.

My husband is in the process of getting RNY himself (hopefully in Dec), so that will make it easier in my house to not have the carbs and stuff around.  My son (Daniel, 6 years old) is all about low sugar etc... he has been around me too long...LOL

Can I just jump in the accountable postings???

Right now I am at 216, I have a goal of 190, but my ultimate goal is 150 (not sure if that is attainable or not)... I am 5'10" tall.

thanks 
Susan

I think you just did...Of course you can join in...everyone is welcome. You only have to put up with people answering your posts, that is all. We try and be kind!

150 at 5 ft 10 might be a stretch but if your body will allow it, you can attain it. Sometimes our body is most comfortable where we are NOT...so it's still worth a try. Head for 190 and see where that hits you!

Low sugar is healthy for EVERYONE...not just us but then, I'm preachin to the choir...

WELCOME.

 

Jump right in and good luck with getting back on track! I got off track, gained some weight but got back on track with going back to basics, being accountable here and joining WW.

I hope you husband is able to have surgery in Dec. Good luck to him too! 

I'm glad your joining in! 

Hi Susan!

Of course you can jump right in! It sounds like you're making some headway so good luck. My 6 year old is the same, when we go out to eat if the server asks her if she'd like a "pop" (as they call it here) she asks very politely if they have any diet. Also asks for "No sugar tea" that's my girl!

Goals don't hurt- it's a place to aim for.  I'm pretty sure my current goal is only attainable with PS at this point as my body weight has evened out, and in all honesty I'm pretty happy with it. I never thought I'd get as far as I have.

Best of luck to both you and you hubby. I look forward to seeing you on here, though I post very infrequantly.
