It's been way to long since I have been on this site. I should have known better... I did know better. I let my head get turned away.
I have a regain of 40 lbs. I need to drop... today is the first day of that journey.
Back to the basics... water, protein, exercise and much much smarter choices.
weight: 185 lbs
I will be accountable!

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

WOW! Time went so fast!! I've been on Maintenance over 6 years now and other than the first two weeks after surgery it has been the most exciting ride I've ever been on.
I haven't struggled with regain. My personal goal was 125 and I have settled in the 118-120 range. I weigh myself every morning and if I see 121 I immediately go into extra Protein mode and carbs are cut back. It's important to stop regain ASAP.
I still believe in Protein Drinks and basing my meals on Protein. I also still eat numerous small Protein meals a day. I call them snacks on my LW Menues and Miles posts but they are scheduled like meals. It's when I let myself get hungry that I make bad choices.
I'm sooooo Thankful for my Lightweights! You are such a big part of my Success!

Hey girls, mixed emotions this morning.....pulled out a pair of my older (smaller) jeans this morning and they're too baggy....sort of annoyed me, dumb right? So I grab another pair I haven't worn in while and they were more than baggy, like fall off my hips and that made me laugh! Well then throw that dang scale in the mix and we have a whirlwind of pissed-offness!! I've been on plan all week and it will not move....oh if I shuffle it around the floor to a different spot it may lose a few ounces but come on!! END OF RANT

I remember how excited I was when I went shopping the first year. My style is so different than it was before WLS.
Sounds Good!
