100 lbs Lost and beating the odds

I haven't posted in the forums for a while and thought I'd pop back in to encourage some of you. I've logged in 1550 consecutive days, that's over 4 years on MFP. By my one year anniversary on MFP I lost a whopping 100 pounds without surgery, starving myself or gimmics, just old fashioned diet and exercise. I've been maintaining that loss since then. During the past two years I've had some hard knocks. I had back to back hip surgery for FAI (hip impingement and labral tears), followed by a severe foot fracture that took me complete non weight bearing for 10 months and then a cancer scare and surgery for that. While all that was very tough, I'm so proud that I've maintained the weight loss during so much down time with activity and I didn't return to my old habits of eating during stressful events.
I'd really love some new pals here as so many have gone by the wayside during my stay here. I'm coming off maintenance and pushing hard to lose another 20 pounds. It's a LOT harder the closer you get to goal.

Thanks. I call it life and not bad luck. The old me would eat during times of stress but it's so good to know I'm a truly changed person. Not only did I not stress eat but I adjusted calorie intake to take into account less activity and recovery. My hip issues still aren't the best but I "keep on kickin."0

FANTASTIC you are an inspiration to me. 1550 days lagging in is great. I am on day 80- this time around. I was up over 100 days but I had some sickness also and did not login in a few days.
Good Luck with getting back you health and your goal weight

Dear KOK: What an inspirational post to read as I start my first week after many months being away from MFP. Life has also happened to me, and I've gained much of the weight back...I also have at least 100 lbs to lose, and as I said, I am so inspired by your story and your spirit. Keep it up!0
