I have not been here in quite a while, and I have been having some struggles with my weight lately, so I figured I could get some support here!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond - holiday distractions!
I am so sorry all that has happened to you! You have had a lot going on and a lot of disappointments. I am struggling a bit too (especially after Easter weekend) and am going to go back to basics And write things down. I am going to go back to basics and try to get to my next goal. What was your goal weight? Mine is kind of a moving target lol. I now am aiming for 160 since I hit 170. I am sure I gained a couple over the weekend but am back on track today so far :-)

Barb, I was originally going for 156, but now I would be happy with 165 pounds I think. The lowest I got was 172 pounds, but it did not last but a day or two! The lowest I had got that actually lasted a bit was 175. However to do that I was all my feet all day and doing a lot of walking, bending, going up and down step ladders at that job I had in Family Dollar. That job was just to hard on me physically though at my age of almost 58 years old with the problems I have with my body from Celiac and Fibromyelgia. I have been getting out and walking a lot lately, and I walk between 3.5 to 4.20 miles at a time with our dogs, and I have improved on my time, and can do it in less time than I was doing, so that's good. My weight however seems to be STUCK at 192 pounds! I'm at least down 2 pounds though since was 194, but I just want to be back where I was like yesterday! LOL It was so much easier for the weight to fall off that first year after surgery! I wish it would still come off that easy!
My Gastric doctor, and his staff all think I have done a great job, but I'm not happy with myself lately. I know I'm doing what I am suppose to do, but my stupid body will not do what it's supposed to do! -

I have a job now for the first time in 17 years! I'm a part time custodian at a local grade school. I could have never done this 1 1/2 years ago before my WLS ! Thankful for my sleeve!

Thanks you guys. Yes, and I love kids, and have grandkids the ages of the kids I'll be working around. Most times kids won't be around when I'm there cause I clean evenings, but on special events I'll be around them.
It feels great to be a part of something again instead of sitting home in my recliner feeling depressed, and worthless like I use to before my weight loss.

I gained a little weight over the holidays.
I hate winter, because I love going outside to do my workouts! -
I started a new job on May 12th at our local Family Dollar as a cashier, customer service rep, and I really like it! I couldn't have done this before my sleeve surgery. I'm hoping it will help me lose the other 20 pounds I'd like to lose too!
-
It's so nice getting so many compliments about my weight, and how great I look! Makes me feel so good.
-
I lost another pound, so I have now lost 107 pounds, and have 28 pounds to my goal! Feeling great, loving my sleeve!

Did something yesterday that I never thought I'd ever do! I went zip lining at John Ball Zoo. I have a big fear of heights, and because of my weight, I never did it before! I'm so proud of myself!

Happy new year everyone! May your new year be better than the last year, and may you all be thinner, and healthier!

I got a new sweater and some jeans yesterday, and was presently surprised that I fit in a X-LG shirt, and size 16 jeans! I use to wear a 26 W!

Today it has been 8 weeks since my sleeve surgery, so I weighted myself to see where I'm at. Happy new year to me! I'm down another 2.5 pounds, and reached another goal of 80.8 pounds off! 34.8 of those are since I was sleeved.
-
My 2 week doctor appointment went great! Said I was doing fantastic! Down 18 pounds since last appointment before surgery!
-
I made it to another goal, I'm in my 170's! Yeah! I have lost 106 pounds now, and I only have 29 pounds to go!
-
Going back to my doctor for my 5 week check up today since being sleeved! I hope I get a good report on my blood test!
-
I have bad heart burn this morning! I think it may be one of my pills I had to take didn't go down good, or something.
-
Stall, stall went away! YEAH! I'm down another 2#'S! Only 2#'s AWAY from my next goal of 100#'S OFF!
-
Finally back fellow sleever's! I had a very rough few days in the hospital! I had HORRIBLE nausea, and felt like I was I was run over by a Mack truck!
-
Did my Zumba for 48 minutes again, burned 620 calories. Only 4 pounds to get to my 100 pounds off goal!
-
Got a great report at my 5 week check up today! Blood work was all good, and he said I'm doing great with my weight loss!
-
Hi all! I have not been on for a few weeks, because I have been sick with ear, and sinus infection. Feeling better, but still not 100%. On a good note, I'm only 6 pounds away from 100 pounds off!
-
Just had to go through my clothes again, because to many pants are getting to big!
Loving it!
