Erf. Back over my goal range, but at least I'm here :)

So I'm back after a hiatus.  

Like many of us, I fell off the rails for a while.  The first quarter of this year was super stressful with work - long hours, much takeout food - and I am now 8 lbs over the high end of my maintenance range.  Even with "healthy choices" it's easy to get off track when you're on autopilot.  I looked up that salad that I had been getting at least once a week thinking it was so healthy and it was 600 calories!  Ouch!

So I'm back to My Fitness Pal, looking to (finally) add some exercise to the mix, and trying to not beat myself up over the whole thing.  On the bright side, pre-surgery those pounds would easily have been 20-25 so the tool kept me from jumping off the cliff completely.  

I have an appointment with the good Dr. C on Tuesday, and fully expect to be soundly chastised.  Though dreading it, I think I need it too.  

Down .5 this morning.  It's a start.

Happy Mother's Day to all the maternal types out there!

Hi Jen! Good to see you. You're at the right place. We have a good thing going on our daily thread. Please join us. I've lost 30 of my regain and have been playing around with 5 pounds or so for the past two months.

Well you are about where I am except I have stayed with the group all the time.  When I last saw DR. C a couple of months ago I fully expected his lecture. But he actually was very supportive and more like a cheerleader and came up with a productive plan. so be not afraid.

Glad to have you here, Jen!
