40s anyone?
Nothing happens overnight. The change in my body has suprised me. I'm 48 and have a better fitness level than I did in my twenties. It has taken me two years lifting to get where I am. I'm always learning. Raise a glass to older women who lift!

Stay at home order. How are you doing with your plan?
How everyone is doing? My gym closed and I've been stress eating for a month. I'm back on track logging and exercising. Feeling better about things. Anyone else off track?

New to the group.
I’m so glad I found this group Why do I binge? I don’t deal with intense emotions. I have done everything to avoid them for years. Bingeing has been my coping skill. I stress/emotional eat, feel guilt, shame, make excuses for food choices, obsess with the scale, fear weight gain, exercise to compensate and use denial to…

Diet and fitness fatigue
Diet and fitness fatigue I have been maintaining approximately five years. (I’ve lost over 100 pounds) I distance run and lift. I feel Ike I’m pounding myself into the ground. I have no energy to get through the rest of the day. I work out three to four times a week, I do different types of cardio for an hour. lifting…

A rant - Kicking my teddy bear.
Someone slap me upside the head for the messed up bariatric thinking. I took time off from the gym to heal from an injury and recurring cold. Bit of a weight gain (Eight pounds) I know I can get it back down. My messed up bariatric brain sees myself as large again. I know this feeling will pass. Ok, rant over.

Things you wish people knew before surgery.
My heart is breaking. I am watching two good friends struggle. One three years out with a significant gain. The other is six months out. lost 27 pounds gained 10 pounds back. Weight gain could be from complications, needing a revision, health issues or not following the plan. Is there anything you would want new people to…

Happy I went to a local group last night.
What do your local support groups look like? (if you have them) For years that our local groups have been centered around new or people in weight loss phase. They were afraid to go off the bariatric script. One instruction fits all. Patients in maintenance just told to add healthy carbs...Senior patients have stopped…

Anyone 3+ years out?
Just watched my 600lb life. They followed patients to seven years out. Gave me a reality check. Many have just decided to give in. Wondering how the senior bariatric patients are doing years out from surgery.

Are people around you asking for weight loss advice?
THis is a bit of a rant...I will get over it... :p :p :p I'm on overload with my neighbors asking for advice. I finally hosted a girls night so we could support each other and talk nutrition/weightloss. I gave out the TDEE calculator.net and Myfitnesspal. app. I sat back and listened... So much conflicting information…

Caught myself
Stress eating ugghhhh. Had a day that left me angry and stressed out. I started to grab up food to make myself feel better. I had two of my husbands nature valley chocolate peanut protein bars back to back. Nothing but a glorified candy bar. >:) >:) I'm going to the gym again tonight to cope with my crappy day. Less guilt…

Group check in thread
Only if your interested. A quick check in to see who is currently active on the bariatric forum. How is your weight loss or maintenance going? Are you having any struggles? What are you doing to overcome them? How are you with the mental side of weight loss? What are your small or large goals. Any goal rewards for yourself?

Family (a bit of a rant)
I'm a bit sad after spending four days with my extended family for a celebration. I know this is not a new topic for many of us. My family was supportive for the first year, now they are taking pleasure in the possibility of seeing me fail I made a choice this time to eat what the family was eating. (I'm in maintenance…

How did this happen?
Seriously, Weight gains always mess with my head. I feel like I'm back in my old body. I have never had a weight fluctuation like this. The day after my Marathon I weighed 134. three days later I'm 144. I have heard that your body pulls as much fluid to rehydrate after a long run, but this is insane. I'm back to basics to…

Smile! camera phone photo/video without your permission
I'm not sure how to take my gym's policy. If you're in a public place anyone can photograph or video you. The bathrooms and locker rooms are the only exception. I see it in the news all the time. Pictures/video of strangers to shame or objectify. Today was bodybuilder Diana Andrews for posting a photo of a woman on a…

Help with form
Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm looking for websites that will help me with form. I've used the bodybuilding.com exercise database. I like that they have videos. Are there other sites you would recommend? I have three trainers at my gym. They show me different form depending on who you talk to.
