Five Months of Maintenance

Jimb376mfp

After five years losing-195# I made GW March and WW Lifetime in May. (376 to 184) From age 65 to 70.

Gained 2# and is a reminder that it is so easy to gain weight! Still below GW but plan on not going over GW.

Now looking at having back surgery on pinched nerve, bulging disc with arthritis. Plan to get well below GW and know that limits on physical exercise post op will be a challenge.

You've worked hard to develop all the skills you need to maintain your weight loss through this challenge, your improved health will improve your healing rate and reduce risk of complications, and you're in good shape to do whatever physical therapy you may eventually need for best rehab.

I not only hope it's going to go well (which I do), but I'd bet that way because you've given yourself the best odds.

Best wishes for an excellent outcome - keep us posted!
