I have been offline for about a year. Need to reconnect as I am now having problems staying away from sweets, etc.

You know your triggers and weak points, just be honest with yourself. There are some foods I just have to say no to even in small doses because they trigger me to overeat. I have to own and acknowledge that each and every day. It gets harder around the holiday's because there is seemingly a dessert of some sort for them all. The 2 really big holidays for sweets are coming up (Valentine & Easter). I'm preparing myself mentally now.

Moved from a house to a condo the end of October, and then a week later came to Florida. Have been able to maintain my weight loss through all the packing, etc. See my surgeon's PA before Xmas for my 2 year check-up. Hope my blood work is ok!

Hiked a couple of weeks ago for 2 and 1/2 hours at Bushkill Falls, PA and in the Poconos. Proud of what I was able to accomplish!! Non scale victory for me!

I forgot to take measurements when I started but...I have lost 82 inches since 3 months after my sleeve surgery. My husband bought me workout clothes in size small for Mother's Day!! Yeah!!

Two pounds below doctor's goal....His scale always weighs heavier as I'm in clothes so......Want to below goal so it will show up on his. Bought new capris and shorts today. At the beginning of last summer, I was down to a 16P and today it was 8p, 10p, or 12p depending on the style and material. Now to get some tops that match the different colors this season.

Today, I hit goal. From 225..5 three weeks before surgery, Nov. 12, 2012, and now 130 pounds. Of course, I'll need to be down a few more pounds by my check up 5 months from now for it to show on the doctor's scale. Met my personal goal of being down by the end of the year!! Year!! I did it! Now to maintain!

Tomorrow I see my doctor for my 1 week checkup and then maybe can head home. Have been staying at my daughters. Scare last night as I had pressure in my chest that I couldn't get rid of, tried walking, and that didn't work! Blood pressure went to 199/99 and finally called my doctor.
