HI Gina!

Congrats on the new job, sorry about the walking though!

Keep sneaking some movement in!

I had stalls along the way but don't give in to them too soon and think you are done. Sometimes your body just needs a rest or more Protein to continue. Don't believe the lies that you are too thin. People just aren't used to seeing you that way. Bounce Back is REAL!!!!!!

I am 9 years out with my RNY. My first weigh in at the Drs. office was 203. It took me 8 months to reach my goal of 125 (nice round number). That was a 78 pound lost. My hubby said I lost enough so I promised him I would increase my calories. I didn't lie....I added in 2 more Protein drinks (not food) and when I was 1 year out I had dropped another 11 pounds taking me down to 114.

My 1 year surgiversary I weighed 114 (-89). This time when I promised my hubby I wouldn't loose any more I increased my food calories (protein) but I still continued to drop and eventually got to 103.

My hubby and daughters sat me down and showed me pictures that they had taken of me and I agreed I was looking pretty bad.

So I forced myself to start maintenance. At 2 years out I hit the 118-120 range and I've been there ever since. I feel healthy and I feel the wrinkles I have are from age than losing weight.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

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!
