Hi all!
Reading through a few posts... the struggle is real!
I am trying very hard to get back on track and have the scale start moving down again. I have lost almost 90 pounds, but had hit the 100 mark a year ago. Gained about 25 back
Down 15 since July. Anyone else going through the same and want to be friends so we can share food ideas? Friend me!

Yesterday was my three year mark, and yes the struggle is real! I had lost over 200 lbs, started a job where I worked long days and commuted three hours a day, hardly had time or energy to work out, and once my routine was shot, it got ugly lol. I am in the same boat, working on losing the regain. I met with my surgeon and we came up with a plan together. I had a hard time getting back with the program but I am there now and making progress. Fortunately I changed jobs to one that's much closer and I am much happier. My job even has a yoga instructor come in twice a week at lunchtime, and I have been going faithfully. I love it! Feel free to friend me :-)4

@stephanie51586 @garber6th @fallingwave would love to be :friends" not sure how to friend you on here though as I just started looking at the boards. I had surgery on 10/27/14, lost 130 pounds and keep gaining and losing the same 7 pounds for the past year! I want to lose 20 more, exercise has been non existent since I had a hip injury when I was just getting into my jogging "groove" and now it's cold and winter and dark when I get home....uuugghhh, recipes and support would be awesome from some ladies in the same boat as me!1

I had surgery on 10/16/14 I lost 45 lbs gained back 15 and now I am trying to get the 15 off plus the other 20 I need to lose. I am back to the basics. Protein drink for breakfast and lunch and small dinner. I am staying under 1000 calories. So for the 1st week I am down 5 lbs. I miss how at the beginning the weight was just falling off with no effort. I wish that I had worked harder at that time to lose. So now I have to do it the hard way.0

Hi, I am in the same boat. I had my surgery 05/05/2014. I lost 75lbs and have gained 20 of those back in the last year. I really need to lose at total of 40 now after the gain. I am just looking for some support. I also have to be honest with you guys as well as myself to say that I totally stop tracking my intake, started eating junk, and stopped exercising. I guess I answered my own question...lol but I seriously need support. I have to meet my goal this year!!!!3

Me too! I had surgery in Feb 2014 and did great. In Sept of 2015 I got really on the ball and started lifting weight and hiking regularly and eating very carefully (low carb, high protein, veggies, fruit - little to no crap. Lost ten more pounds and dropped a pant size or two. Then got pregnant and gained 20 pounds. Lost the baby weight super fast but stopped pumping in October last fall and helloooo 6 pounds and lots of flab. Scared and cannot seem to get my shiz together. Restriction is gone and sugar intolerance gone. I am ready to get back to feeling great again. Talked to my doc and will keep cals 1200-1400 and do 2 premier proteins and 2 small meals a day for awhile. NEED to stop drinking while eating!! Hope we can all update this thread - love the idea of keeping each other accountable. Who's in?6

I am 3 1/2 years out. I lost 110 in the first year, maintained that but didn't lose any more for a year then in 2015/2016 gained 37 lbs (I found out later from stress) I've lost 20 of that 37 and am in the gym twice a day for 45 min to an hour /hour 1/2. I'm not losing pounds any more and am monitoring my intake but I feel so healthy from working out. I'm still disappointed because, for me, the number on the scale defines my success.

@shonrecio please don't let that number define your success! It's only a number. There are many health metrics that define success. I'm still "obese" but am in the best shape of my life. keep doing what your doing and don't worry about that darn scale. 2

@shonrecio, remember muscle weighs more than fat. So if you are in the gym that often you are probably seeing muscle weight vs. fat and you should start seeing a change in the way your body looks and fits in clothes. Good job being in the gym.... that is what I need to get back into. I will be 3yrs out in on the 26th of the month and total loss was 110 lbs... but feeling the frustration because in the past year I have gained 20lbs...and been at the 20lbs for a couple months now. I refuse to buy bigger clothes! So I need to get on it.2
