New Here (well, newly back)

I think I was always considered a LW but even more so now. With my revision, I only have 65lbs left to lose before I'm at my ultimate goal (never reached with my band). 

I am hoping to be active here to keep up with people in similar positions. I'm a very active person, usually hit my fitbit 10,000 steps per day, and am planning to live a low carb lifestyle for the rest of my life as soon as I can eat solid food in a few weeks. 

Guess I just wanted to say hi and hopefully I can make some friends.

Welcome back Thundergrrrl!!! It sounds like you are doing really good. I'm not on here a lot but I like to check in from time to time. It's helps me be able to keep things in perspective. It helps to be connected to others taking the same journey I am

Welcome back!!   Join in the fun!!!  I'm active too and love my muscle pump class, driving my ponies and horseback riding occasionally with my large pony.  Low carb is my way to go after 4+ years.

Hey Price! I own a horse and riding is my number one form of exercise. I am stuck on the ground for another few weeks to make sure I'm healed. Nice to meet you :)

Welcome Thunder, You'll do great!, On my best day ever since WLS, I got 10000 steps (once), Im working up to that as a daily goal.  My hubby rubs it in that he meets it every day, (well not really, I just feel guilty that he does and I am normally About 3K).

But Go you! With those stats you should do awesome!

Thanks for the encouragement! I know I will do fine and I'm planning to be at my goal by the end of 2015. Just have to believe in myself, which can get hard sometimes.
