I'm just getting back into the swing of things after being inactive for almost a year. I need this to get and keep me motivated. It's the treadmill until we have better cooperation from the weather.

Checking in and trying to get my eating under control...track my meals, exercise and more water please!!!

Monday, January 26th...Oh what a day. We're dealing with a I walked into the office to find 3 boxes of Girl Scout cookies on my desk. "Lord help me!!!" I kept the one box of the short bread cookies and gave the other two boxes away! I should have given them all away. I was able to stick to my eating plan...hoping to have a…

Hello everyone, my name is Genie aka tippi4406. I know what to do, but have been struggling with the transition from night work to days for about 5 years. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm still having issues. We have a junk cabinet and a full service Cafe' at work and i always seem to find the bad things. I'm hoping that…

I read this article and it not only bought tears to my eyes it also bought back some very hurtful memories. To have strangers single you out and make rude comments is one thing and hurtful enough, but when it comes from within your own family it's even more hurtful than you can ever imagine. I began my journey weighing…

Well done...one day at a time!

You look amazing and an inspiration to us all. Turned that fat into muscle...awesome!

6 Pack of Peanut Butter Nekot Cookies...oh so good but not worth the calories!!

I'm 62 yrs old, and I just seemed to be tired all the time. Can't seem to get my strength together and I also lack the motivation. I think I need a boost.

No, no, no you have not stretched your pouch! Ask yourself "I am really hungry"? After 5 years I experience that same feelin' like OMG I am starvin' and when I do fix something or grab a protein drink I each a couple of mouthfuls or drink half of the protein and then I don't want it. Are you eating the right foods/protein.…

Oysters, crawfish, squid, snails, clams, raw fish, but I will eat sushi made from veggies, anchovies, eggplant, raw tomatoes (sauce & salsa okay), deer meat, rabbit, pig feet, pig ears...and last but not least, I can't stand to see a whole lobster on my plate...I can only eat the tail! Any type of COLD FOODS/SALAD...must…

:flowerforyou: Congratulations to all of you, everyone is doing great! You're new to your experiences and everyone will have a difference story to tell. Stay on track, if you find that you can't tolerate a food move on...your body is still adjusting. My name is Genie aka Tippi4406 and I will be 5 years post-op on January…

I"ve been away for awhile....not only from the boards but from the scale as well. I knew I had picked up a few pounds, but I was not prepared for what I saw on the scle this morning. My surgery was in January 2007, with a starting weight of 265lbs. my lowest weight was 168lbs...97lbs lost. My weight this morning was…

Hello Ms. Moillie...thank you for being here and thank you for reaching out. Having someone who understands where you have been is always a help in where you're trying to go.

My name is Genie and I had gastric-by pass surgery in January 2007. On the day of my surgery I weighed in at 265lbs. and got down to 168lbs. before my old eating habits started to creep by into my life style. My current weight is 192lbs. a 24lb re-gain. When I had my surgery I worked the overnight shift and eating and…

I am in

That is really great. I've tried the Elliptical only a couple of times...it was a bit much for me. That is going to be my next conquest, working out on that machine. I have the Elliptical Bike but its not as brutal.

I had WLS RNY in January 2007. Thanks for staring the Support Group Mollie. You are an inspiration. Genie

Thanks for the information. Didn't know that holding on to the handrails had such an effect on the body.

I'm not a soda drinker so that is not a problem for me, but I am a chronic snacker with Cheez-It's or Pretzel Snaps being my nemesis. Now that there are no more in the house I am trying to find healthier choices to keep me on track. The last time I tried the Diet V8 Splash it made me dump so I've stayed away from them.…

:flowerforyou: Congratulations, you have done well. Keep up the good work.

Hello Ladies, My name is Genie and I'm new to the boards. I'm 61 years old and have had a significant weight gain that I know is really not good for my health or arthritis. I'm really hoping to get back on track and release some of this stress through exercising, and support.

Hello All, I am new to the boards and I see you have quite a challenge going on here. Hopefully, since I'm trying to get back on track with my weight loss I can fall right in. Looking forward to getting started first thing in the AM. Plan to be at the gym by 7am. Hopefully my knee won't give me any problems with the clear…

BUMP!

Bump!
