VSG Maintenance Group
Hello, I am new to this board but excited to be here . . .
Hi all,
I was invited to check out the maintenance board. I have about 11 pounds to go before I hit goal. I've been having some struggles recently mainly due to slow weight loss. When I don't see the scale move down, I have been getting discouraged. I know I need to just throw the scale out the window but I just cannot seem to ignore the numbers. I don't know if I am just getting impatient but I really feel like I need to get back in the game of getting excited about this journey. I do know that I need to make some changes for me to get there. I know could be more strict on my diet and I can also increase the intensity/duration of my workouts. I reached out today to Elina and I am looking forward to getting some guidance & support from her.
I would really like to reach goal within the next couple of months, by my 1 year surgiversary. Sooner would be better. ;-)
Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and to thank you all for your support.

I'm so glad you came over here!!! Welcome!
There are quite a few of us who have not gotten those last few pounds off who are even further out, I'm one of them. However, I don't think you will be in that category. You are going to kick those pounds to the curb! Again, welcome to the maint board.

Welcome, Shag!
Lots of us here are not quite to goal yet, or have had some regain and are trying to shift the pounds again (me!), etc etc, so you are not the only person here who isn't at goal.
This is a great group of folks, and we are glad to have you :-)
