Hi everyone,

Well, I am back.........I have been lurking for a while after being a faithful poster for some time last year.  I was embarassed.  I had gained 21 lbs.  I had an anchor tummy tuck in September of 2013, but even with 8 lbs of tissue being removed, I actually gained almost 5 lbs all said and done.  I am not really sure how that happened.  Then the winter came, and I put on some more weight.  I was all the way up to 183.  My low is 162.  I am happy to report that I am on the way back down at 175 today.  Its really quite easy once I get myself in the right mindset.  Hunger is not an issue, but boredom is a big one for me.

Anyway, have any of you put on a little weight over the winter?  If so, how much?  I think a little gain is normal, especially if one is not very active, but I don't have any excuse for what happened to me.  I guess I fell for the sales pitch when I paid for surgery.  They kept saying the weight was gone "FOREVA", but come to find out that I have to really work at that.

Have a great day!

Hey Jane!  Way to climb back on the horse..It takes courage and effort to get up and dust off when we take a fall, and you are on your way back down.  Keep it up and "get'er-done"!    Yah, I don't know what the deal is with PS- Surgeon lops off all kinds of material, and it doesn't show up on the scale.  I very slowly dropped about 3-4#s after my anchor cut TT, and have yet to lose the 4 #s that have shown up over my recent arm lift--Go figure.   Anyhow- don't be hiding--Lots of support to be found here-We're rooting for you.  Smiles and encouragement your way- Bonnie

Thanks for the encouragement Bonnie.  I can certainly use a lot of that, but I am gettin' er done!  When it comes down to it, I have to make sure that a gain of 1 or 2 pounds is NOT okay in the future, because 1-2 lbs very quickly become 10 or more.
