3 months ago I started eating on the plan again and working out 5 days per week. I have now lost 20 lbs, which is 1/2 of my regain. I’m hoping to have the next 20 gone by early November. Losing now is a lot harder than it was just after surgery and sometimes I get a little discouraged over how slow the process seems. But, I see that it can be done and I am determined. When I have my annual dr visit in October, I want my health indicators to be going in the right direction again. Progress not Perfection

    I started back on plan AGAIN today (for probably the 20th time). Why is it so much harder to stick to the plan now, then when it was before surgery?? It's a struggle...

    If I had the answer, it would make my life and weight loss a whole lot easier! LOL. The weight definitely goes on much easier than it comes off. We just have to keep working at it. I tend to look at the food I want to eat and consider how many calories it is and how long I would have to be on the elliptical machine to offset it. That helps me put down sweets.

    So far, so good... no sweets, and I'm trying to make better choices... Hope you're doing well @loriloftness

    I’m still working at it, @Stephaniev51697. Some days are more successful than others. I may not be losing as fast as I would want, but at least I’m not gaining.

    @loriloftness I'm on day 3 of 3 protein shakes a day and 2 small meals and NO WINE.. i'm hoping cutting out the wine helps me lose something. I'm getting a little frustrated. I'm not gaining but I'm not losing BUT I'm still 19 lbs over my lowest weight and i feel very uncomfortable.. I'm not above begging the weight loss gods to show me some mercy at this point.. :(
