Reading back and seeing I've had been trying to dip below 200 lbs for 10 years. I had pretty much maintained between 210-220  however 2 years ago, I weiged in at 233 which was 100lbs from my top weight. That just freaked me out!! I started intermittent fasting and  have slowly lost 45 pounds. I'm at 187  2 pounds away from 185, but my goal now is 170lbs.. allwith in reach. My 16 year anniversary will be 8/24/21.

as I look at the last time I wrote anything here, I see that over a year has past and I have remained 

the same. My weight has fluctuated from 210-220. I am pleased with it not going higher, but not  

pleased that I haven't achieved my 185 goal. This year's goals for me is to achieve that, get my

finances in order, and work on happiness

 It's been 7 years, I have gained some weight
not back to my 185 .. I'm 214 at the moment
but I have a personal trainor and I'm at the gym
4-6 times a week..    
Trying to be Fit, Fabulous and 50!!

Surgery went well, my tumor was benign

I have a tumor on my right side of my thyroid and a nodula on the left side..
So I am scheduled for a ? partial/full thyroidectomy. I am stressing.. trying not to
let it get me down. I have been walking daily about a mile or bit more. Today.. I decided
a drink was in order.. haven't weighed myself in a few days.. will do so in the morning.. again

Well I'm having some car trouble at the moment so unable to attend my zumba classes as neither one are located in the city I live in. But to combat that I have been walking more. I live within walking distance to work so I'm not in a big rush to fix the car. Then again it hasn't snowed yet. This has horrified my co workers so I do end up getting a ride half way. Funny thing they keep asking what am I going to do without my car.. my answer has been the most that can happen is I loose some weight.  It's all a financial issue at the moment.. So walking is doing me well. My neighbor is also my bowling partner so I am still bowling.  and I have a stair stepper to help combat the no zumba classes.  I am going to try to log into OH daily to track my weight progress and activity and food logs.  I've cup back on using sugar in my tea. I use it if someone else fixes me tea.. if I fix my own I don't use it.  Oh Well I guess I rambled on enough.. Hope to drop a few more pounds in the as I am preparing for surgery. I have to have my semi to total thyroidectomy on 11/2/11  oh so much fun.

well thispast year hasn't been great. I gained more weight since last year. I was up to 220lbs.
I am getting back on track. I have lost 5 lbs and set my goal back to 180-185lbs.  I am doing zumba 1-2x weekly plus started doing hula excersise which is funny as hell, but my goal is to do it at least 5x weekly. I still belong to a bowling
league.

I celebrated my 5 yr anniversary of my WLS, in the past year I have gained 20 pounds and know I need to keep a handle on this. I haven't been on OH in a while and should be using it as my base. For emotional support and understanding.

Last year May of 2008 I had emergency surgery. I had a bowel obstruction, that caused me pain beyond all life.
At first it felt like gas pains then got worse finally was taken to the hospital and 6 hours later was in surgery. I was very lucky
and didn't loose any portion of my intestins. My weight at first dropped to 170's lbs then I gained.. I got up to 194 lbs.. then kicked myself into gear began to work out and eat better.. my weight is back to 180 lb and holding.. now will begin to work on dropping below 180

I watched Oprah the other day with a few women who had WLS.. they made it sound so bad..  One became addicted to sex... my thought was loving that when I was oh so fluffy and it hadn't changed any for me... the Other drank like a fish..  My thought I drank before.. will have a drink here and there but was afraid of being an alcoholic before and still am.. a bit of family history there. So I don't over indulge.   Then I thought did these women attend any type of therapy? I was in group for a few months and have since gone back from time to time (  my bat wings were bugging me)   May God Bless them and help them...
