Beautiful area, I have always wanted to visit! Would have been nice if we were neighbors though.

Check in day for me! I was 112.5 on the scale this a.m. same as last week, maintenance is good! Still haven't worked out much this week but am back in the pool doing laps. food choices have been much better this week! Now, if I could just get my exercise back on track and journal my food and Water....

My 2 year check up is end of next week. Kind of excited for my doctor to see me. Oh and I had someone today who never knew me when I wasn't bigger than 115 tell me I am so tiny and how much they admire the way I dress. It made me feel cute for the first time in 25 years. Seriously.

Good job! My weight is good this week too, I am at 120 which is the bottom of my zone. Exercise is saving me. My food choices have not been the best. Too much stress right now with my Mom still very ill. My son graduates from High School next Saturday. I love the dress I found! Can't wait to wear it!

New dresses are the best! I bought my first maxi dress. First because at 5'2" I always felt like a mumu when I was fat. I was thrilled to pull it off!!

Check in day for me!

I was 111.5 this morning, so right in my range. I started logging my food again but still not exercising like I should. I see my doctor and dietician early next week for my 2 year follow up and can't wait for them to see me! I had labs done today and while all the Vitamins aren't back yet, everything else looked perfect so far! I am just thrilled with this new me but don't want to take maintenance for granted. I still have my five lb window of 110 to 115 and as long as I am in that range I am in my zone. Maintaining is harder on me psychologically than losing was. Anyone else struggling with fears and doubts? I worry any slip could spiral me back to 267 lbs....

Checking in... It's the end of the school year and stress is all around me... so are my munchies :\ I give myself a 10lb window (stay in the 150's) so I'm still good.

Ive started walking more regularly. my fitbit tells me when i'm lazy...

[iamsoworthit 430]

I had my 2 year follow up appointments today. Everything except my Iron was PERFECT! I was so excited for my doctor to see me. He prescribed iron pills and said not to take it with Calcium. Everything else was wonderful. I am so happy and thrilled to say I am maintaining and working this every day.

Just had my 2 yr re check. 138 lbs gone high normal..calcium

Low normal..vit D

Defiecent in vit K

[iamsoworthit 430]

Great job! I think low d is common in women. What are they doing for your k?

[Baconville 578]

Great job to both of you! I have my 2 year on Wednesday. Ironically, I am too HIGH in Iron, something the doc says she very rarely sees. No Vitamins with iron for me. I am also low on Vitamin B 1, so I have added that to my daily routine. Otherwise blood work looked great. We will see what she says on Wednesday and I will let you know!

[iamsoworthit 430]

Great job! Any idea how your Iron levels are so high? I've always run on the low side of normal so wasn't shocked when it was low. My potassium runs on the low end too so I try and focus on potassium rich foods.

[Baconville 578]

No idea why my Iron is high. Never was a problem prior to surgery. I feel fantastic so it can't be having too bad an effect. It will be interesting what I learn in the morning.

[iamsoworthit 430]

That is great! I knew something was up with me because I had such bad fatigue. I wasn't sire if it was B 12 or Iron so when iron was low it made sense. The nice thing is in the last week I've been seeing my energy come back. I can't wait to hear how your appointment goes!!
