Back to basics and really doing it!

[Bears_Chick 58]

I weighed in at 172.8! Two more pounds! I'm getting there! Cutting out the bread, crackers, and Pasta really made a difference. Why do I love carbs so much?! I also went back to an hour of cardio and 30 minutes of weights every day except Sunday for the past two weeks.... I had missed a couple days of workouts the two weeks I didn't lose.

12.8 pounds to goal!!! I'm so scared! Terrified I won't make it. That my body will just quit losing even if I'm doing the same thing. I'm hungry and it's hard, so cutting back lower than 1,000 calories a day.... ugh, I just don't know if I can do that.

I am so glad that I found this thread! I am 13 years out from my bypass and 35 lbs have crept up on me. I just barley found this website. I have support at home but since my bypass I have had no follow up with my Dr (i feel like i went to a meat factory) and no support system there. My regular Drs are not as familiar with bypass so being this far out I have no idea what to do or if I should have anything checked. So since my surgery I have had three pregnancies and 4 kids (i have a set of twins). I was really good with my weight gain there only 15 lbs for my son and daughter and 30 lbs for the twins. My weight gain came after the twins. I started to drink pop again. Big mistake. my portions have increased and my exercise was zilch. I hate the way I look. I feel like I did before my surgery when I weighed 272 lbs. I have set a goal to loose that darn 35 lbs the healthy way with diet and exercise. I am going to cut out carbs as much as I can and have quit drinking soda. I have also increased my workout to at least 45 min every day. I love the fact you chose to do this! I look forward to joining you on your journey.

Current weight 172.4

Goal Weight 140

Thank you again!

@Kathy812 I'm glad you got on BP for some support-- that is what we are here for... We all have low points and I can understand the tendency to be your own worst critic... most things in life don't go to plan...don't worry stick with it and the LBs will peal off!

@fadstabora Welcome... 13 years out without community support must be tough, and soda is a killer for me too, even though I only have a little bit here and there... I'm glad you found us!

So I am back from our Anniversary weekend away, sorry for the tardy check in we got in late Monday night... I'm feeling pretty good and I can happily report that not only was I able to enjoy the weekend because I banked calories throughout the week, but I made it through both birthdays as well as the wedding with just a small increase... I know we are all shooting for NO GAINS, but I went from 231.2 to 231.4... so up 0.2... With all the temptations, I felt like I made some pretty good choices, and didn't feel like I was missing out....although without a structured schedule this weekend I didn't get all my Water in and I know I drank too many calories, especially since I chose to add a packet of sugar to my coffees this weekend.... I am fully back on board with my meal plan as of today, and am hoping without any big plans coming up I can start seeing the scale move like everyone else...I really hope I can get into the low 220's before the end of July.. fingers crossed for some steady losing...

Thank you! I am hoping that I can do it this time and keep it off! I am miserable!

I've been neglecting for some time now.
This topic seems like it was made for me.

[fadstabora 16]

I agree! It came at just the right time for me!

I ran out of Bariatric Vitamins. I'm looking for a complete one where I only need to take one kind.
What ones do you prefer?
