It's good to be back!

This April I will celebrate my 3rd year anniversary since my surgery. My surgery was very successful and I lost ALL my weight within the first year of my surgery. I've managed to maintain it until just recently. I started to get sloppy in my food choices and lazy about exercise. I have managed to put 12 lbs. back on. I don't like it and I certainly don't want those 12 pounds to turn into 20 then 30 then before you know it 50 or more. I figured I'd better get back in touch with OH and the basics again. I don't want my weight gain to spiral out of control, that would be devistating to me. So here I am!!! Looking forward to meeting you all and hearing about your struggles, successes and ideas!

I'm a busy mother of 9 children, ages ranging from my oldest being 28 and my baby is 6. And I'm a grandma to my 2 yr. old grandson. It's a crazy, chaotic life around here but I wouldn't trade it for the world. God bless you all in the New Year! Praying this is a GREAT year for everyone as we all get back on track together!!!

Cheers,
Lisa

Lisa,

I could have written most of what you wrote up there. Only Christine and I have just 5 kids...you got us there. Sloppy food choices, lazy about exercise...not wanting current gain to turn into more...these are all issues that brought me back in touch with my friends at OH. I can honestly say that I've felt better about these first few days of 2010 than any other 3-4 days of 2009....at least in relation to food choices and how I already feel about my success. 2009 was a great year with lots of fun, but I'm determined to make 2010 even better...by choice.

Thanks for joining us. I know that your insights will be most helpful.
