Now I have resorted to desperate measures. Watching calories and exercising. OMG...not that! I figured out with some on-line reputable calculators that I can have 1200 to 1700 cals a day with my Curves routine and lose about 1-2 pounds a week...that would mean by mid-summer, I should be at my goal. I hope so! I am tired of looking at my flabby butt. I am going to learn to use that darn Bowflex too! It just sits in our sun room mocking me.. GRRRRR

I have been following my Curves plan faithfully (with the exception of a 4-day exercise hiatus due to foot surgery) and still stuck in the low 150's. I have been doing the induction/metabolic tune-up just as the Curves plan instructs, but no weightloss to speak of. VERY FRUSTRATING. However, I do feel like I look slimmer. 

I finally went in for a full blood work up and found that I was severely low in B-12 and D....explains a lot of things, the bad mood swings, PMS, numb toes, spaciness...etc...now I am taking some mega-supplements and I definitely feel a huge difference! Maybe that will get the loss going again. 

I am going to stick to the low carb and only do Metabolic Tune-up once in a while if I really need a break, as I think it is making things worse?! I wish I could trust the plan, but I wonder if being a WLS patient makes things work differently. I know I feel so much better sticking to a low carb plan, I rarely dump and feel more energetic. 

Once I get my trike (looking at mid-March) I am sure I can find things to do with my time besides munching!!!

Hello, here I am on a Metabolic Tune Up again (Curves plan) where I must eat 2500 to 3000 cals a day until my weight moves. I did the induction again the last few days, ended up 151.5 then down to 149.5 today, now doing the tune-up again. I am sticking with this even though it my weight is not moving as fast as I would like. I am doing this for the long term!!! Everyone has noticed I lost weight though. So that's a good thing!

Well, the metabolic tune up was a waste of time (so it seems) I am still stuck in the high 140's, second day of re-induction. But I am not going to give up, if for any other reason, it's how good I feel! My buddy Tracy is finally scheduled for her surgery (actually, it happened quite fast) and I am so excited for her. She is so gorgeous inside AND out, that I can't imagine her any happier or prettier, but here she goes..she is going to be a TKO! I just inherited Randy's Road King- soon to be a trike so I can ride safely (shortness can be a handicap) and he got a new Ultra...so we are very excited. I hope to ride out to see Tracy after her surgery and she is back to feeling like herself.

Hi all, I tried to transfer to this new format and it seems all my blogging from the last 4 years has vanished...don't know what I did wrong! In the meantime still struggling to lose the 20+ pounds I gained back. I started the Curves plan along with the workouts again...I have been going a min of 3X weekly, but usually 5 times a week.

I started out with less than 20 carbs and dropped almost 10 pounds right away, then stalled out. Started the 40-60 carbs and went up a pound or two...so decided to try the metabolic tune-up...did that for a few days now I am on day two of the Phase I (20 carbs or less) again. 

I have been very proud of my stick-to-it ness, and even though I get impatient at times, look forward to long-term effects and goals. I can really see that my butt and legs suffered the most from the weight gain, trying to find jeans that fit properly is next to impossible. The low-rise jeans look awful on my wide rear. I found a new brand called "Not your daughter's jeans" that I am dying to try out. 

Life has definitely improved this year, glad to see things starting out so well. Other than my bratty step-kids, which really aren't too bad, our life is going well. Finances are up to par and getting better. Our personal relationship (Randy and me) is great as always...

Keep thinking I am seeing my ex around here. Not sure if he has a look-alike or if he is actually in the area. Makes me very nervous! 

Right now I am at 149, was down to 146 pre-period...so hoping this bout with Phase I gets me down to the low 140's ....still shooting for 125.
