You all look fantastic!!! I will pst some photos as soon as I figure out how!! Lol!!!!

Hello every one!!!! Just checking in and updating my status. I've gained 10 pounds!!!!! Yuck!!! I've gotten lazy and eating crap!!! There I said it. Now that my pity party is over.... I have got to get to work and back to basics and drop these 10 pounds before it gets worse. It never gets easier. Even though you drop the weight you will always be working on it. Please check in with me because I need motivation and accountability.

It's only been 3 months. Your doing great! You will have times when things slow down. Just stay the course and you will see results. It's not magic. It requires work. Even when your where you want to be..... You will have to work to stay there.

Hello everyone!!!!!! I think we all need to check in and see where we are???? Let me start us off. I'm up a few pounds and need to gain control now. I've been struggling with maintaining my weight for a while now. I find it easy to eat junk. Chips and cocktails have not been my friend. I told my husband today that I must work harder. I've worked to hard to get here and don't want to see my weight slowly creep up. I need to weigh myself more often to stay on top of this gain. How are you all doing???

Your on the right path...... Log every bite you put in your mouth. I need to get back to basics myself. Good luck!!!!

Lynda, I think you have the answer. Have a bounce range and weigh yourself daily to make sure we stay within range. If we see it creeping up then we have to get busy getting it back off quickly. I think we must know what our trigger foods are and be cautious with them. We have all worked so hard to be successful and I for one will never go back to the old me.

Sugar is the enemy!!! I ate a cupcake the other day for the first time in a long time and boy did I regret it... Heart went to racing. I didn't like it and I know it was the sugar. Once we start eating it even in small amounts we begin to crave it so we have to avoid it.

I'm the same way... I'm having to get my water in by drinking hot things from tea to hot milk, hot crystal light. I am freezing all the time!!! Oh well ... As long as we get it all in. My problem is I want to snack at night. Love carb yogurt and lots of nuts!!! Calories add up fast. I'm a salt eater.

Hello everyone! New here and I'm 15 months out. After all this time I've learned that what I was told from the very beginning is true. A smaller stomach is only a tool. It's what we do and the choices we make that make us successful. We still have to say no to things and follow the rules. Keep fighting the fight!!!

Friends.... How are you? How is everyone doing? I miss hearing from you guys so please keep posting. We must keep fighting the fight. I'm doing ok. I haven't done a great job lately at logging my food journal. I'm trying hard to not get off track. I know it's Holiday time and we are all able to eat anything we want. I'm trying to keep tracking my calories. I don't always choose the healthiest food but I do track the calories. I'm logging about 1200-1300 a day. How are you all doing???

Haven't logged on for some time now. I see this site has combined with another site. I was so glad not to have list all if you guys. I hope everyone is doing great!!!

Good morning friends!! Everyone is quiet here so I hope that's a good sign that we are all doing well and being successful. I'm just trucking along. Nothing new to add. I'm maintaining my weight but I know I should make healthier food choices. I stay at a good calorie count but just not with healthy stuff. I even ate 5 pieces of bacon yesterday!!!! Ouch!!! Yummy but not good for me. ????

I'm down 123 pounds!!! My current weight is 118 pounds so a strange thing to say after a year of extremely strict dieting but, I'm trying to gain a few pounds back.

You look fantastic!!!

NGM- never give up. It's not only you. It's happened to others as well. You are doing what you can. Pick yourself up and one foot in front of the other. There is something going on and you just have to figure out what it is. Unfortunately, that may require a Doctors visit to look at any medications your taking or other underlined issues. We are here for you to listen any time you need to.

What is a USG???

You have done great!!! So glad you posted this because it gives me things to think about. I haven't had my one year check up and probably will not go.

Hope your doing well. Good luck and speedy recovery.

You look fabulous!!!!

You look fabulous!!!!
