Today I looked in the mirror

Options
I have lost and gained weight several times. I had the lap-band surgery a little over 3 years ago and I lost 90lbs but I see the weight slowly creeping back on and today I passed by a mirror today and I really looked and myself and I didn't like what I saw. With that being said I am recommitting myself to my diet and exercise plan. I will say that I am glad I had the surgery but what I have learned is that there is no substitute for hard work. So I plan to work hard to lose this next 83lbs and keep it off....FOREVER!!!

    MFP is a great tool to help you! It takes work, but as you said there is no substitute for hard work. I'm in awe of what some of the people on here have lost. And you'll find plenty of people for support. With your great attitude you can do it!
