Welcome Zelda, it is wonderful to see you here. This group has been here for seven years now and while it is in a bit of a slump right now, there always seems to be a few of the core group that hangs on. Your story isn't that unusual. I too started off eating too much and too poorly at the age of 5 or 6 and have been…

Greetings Steph, and welcome. I too have had hopes the group might pick up again as the world is right now, but then I went on a couple weeks of spending more time stressing and using that as an excuse to eat comfort food. But I got up this morning, stepped on the scale, was happy to see it had come back down from the last…

Hey Tara. Sounds like you have your hands full. I can't imagine trying to deal with this with kids, especially that age. Good thoughts to you. We don't have College Age kids next door, we have a 90 year old whose family keeps bringing bunches of kids (presumably family) to visit. I keep thinking how irresponsible that is.…

Cali, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be kind to yourself and don't do this. It is much better to go weeks at a time between checking weight as long as you are keeping your log and being truthful in the logging. Think about it. There is no healthy way to lose 1800 plus calories in a portion of a day, and eating, drinking, bathroom…

Welcome Cali. I hope you find the support you need here. Things have slowed a lot since creation of this group, but I find a number of our original group, like me have fallen off the wagon and left a big divot when we hit. We undoubtedly have someone here who will know your pains and challenges. Be active, ask questions if…

So good to see friends still posting. Sadly there is almost 100 lbs more of me than there was when I was solid on…

I'll be joining you all again in the new year. I'm really glad to see this still going, if stumbling. See ya in January!

I was sleeved May 1, 2013. At my highest weight I reached 475. I lost some weight with WW, but still was doing myself no favors. In late 2012 I saw a doctor who finally convinced me that I could have the surgery or die young. I was at just over 400 lbs when I had the surgery. I dropped to 275 lbs in less than a year, then…

No, you are not alone. I had VSG May of 2013, lost 200 lbs from my near death high. I still needed to lose another 100 from that, but I was active feeling great and actually living again. Then life got tough with a move. Unhappy with work, with life in the new city I got depressed and like you I tripped on a doughnut. It…

Sky, sts is better than a gain. One day, one meal, one bite at a time.

I can't believe after all this time you all still give me credit (or blame?) for this mess. I've been completely off the rails for over a year now and worse since the…

MLK day at Cabrillo National Monument. Marine layer left everything kind of grey and gloomy but it was still a nice day.

AK - a long and much needed vacation. by Daniel Ward, on Flickr

I know it isn't nature, but I was able to get out with the camera for the first time in months today. I need to go back and post some of my AK trip photos.

Hey guys, back from a quick trip to CA to close on a house. Drove back with DW, packed her truck and another u Haul and got her back on the road this morning. I'm beat! I'm more worried about her fatigue though, driving 15 hours after the weekend we had. I hear you about the wagon. I had the nutritionist yell at me at my…

Missed day 2. Back to 1 again. Malia, How are YOU? Things are going well I hope. I almost moved to your state but my wife didn't get the job she had put in for there. I was contacted for an interview but declined. She already had the job in San Diego. .. Be well everyone.

Back? Whose back? I hope you don't see my back! How you all doing? Life is so very challenging in all areas right now. My wife has moved to San Diego, CA. I'm in the middle of monsterous workload at work and trying to pack and prep the house for sale during off hours. Sure glad I had that wonderful vacation where I met…
