Back on track and need some support!

Hello everyone,
I am almost 3 years post-op and never got down to my goal weight. I had a baby before I got to my goal a year ago. Now, I am back on track and am really excited to see this support group available. I've been at it for 2 weeks now and have lost 3 pounds. Are there any new moms out there?

I'm not a new mom (sons 11 and 14. Although some days it feels like the adventures, trials and tribulations of a new mom!! LOL!

Welcome to our BOTT (Back On Track Together) group. It is a wonderful group. The members of this group are unlike any I've ever been a part of.

Congratulations on the 3 pounds in 2 weeks. That is great!! Keep going.

Again, welcome to BOTT! You'll see that I say "BOTT POWER" a lot. I do that because, to me, personally BOTT has changed my life. I quit procrastinating on a long-term goal, committed here on BOTT and reach my goal for my formal accreditation as a coach. There are so many things I've succeeded and accomplished because of BOTT.

So........BOTT POWER to you!

What have you tried so far???  That makes a difference what advise we give you.

I've tried everything like reducing my caloric intake to 1200 calories and increasing my physical activity.I would burn 500 calories a day and eat 1200 calories a day. This never worked.
I talked to a trainer,and she recommended increasing my calories to 1500 and working out at least 30 min. for 5 days. So far,I've lost 3 lbs. in 2 weeks. Should I be losing more ?

first, let me say WELCOME   You've sure come to the right place.  I hope you find this site as helpful as I have.  I haven't a doubt that I would never have been able to get back/stay on track without their caring, understanding, support and help. 

congratulations on your 3 pound loss   You're doing great
