Topic: RE: It's Inky
It is so very nice to have you back. you have been deeply missed.....and loved. We are all battling the war together. It's not easy, but we are learning to deal with it. Failure?? NOT US!!!! I was told I would lose 75% of my excess weight. And that is exactly what I have done. Am I happy about it? Yes and no. My original goal was 199. Now I want 150. Will I ever get there? I seriously doubt that I will. But I am happy that I have learned to maintain for mNy months. Thatin itself is success. So my dear friend. come be with us whenever you can. You belong with us and we will always be here for you.

Inky sooooooooooooooooooo good to see you,, I can really understand sometimes u need to run away from weight loss issues, I think I hit a 5 month no weight loss and bam 20 lbs came off in 2 weeks,I think for me it is a hormonal shift and readjustment . I had a tummy tuck and you would think I should be on top of the world etc Nope hitting major depression and I truely think it is because I lost like 30 lbs so fast that my mind and body is trying to adjust. I want comfort food and all the trimmings that go with it but I cannot binge like I love 2 due to the lap band will not let me but oh man if i had not had this band in place i would be over 200 lbs I am sure, I am not exercising due to surgery and figured I need to just rest at 169 to 171 range and not worry about losing or gaining I just need to work threw this mental depression and my newly diagnosis of spinal stenosis.
Inky you are not a failure u just needed time for your self and you needed to take care of Inky first,
Remember how slow I was and so far behind everyone in weight loss and I would never lose and everyone was losing but not me I just stay on platues for months on ends but now look at me I broke the 170 barrier. It will happen inky just right now u r stalled for a bit but something is happening to your body. Keep with the program and back to basics and it will drop one day as long as you are on the program you will lose, If u fell off the wagon then hop on it again and u will start to lose before you know it the scale will be moving
U made my day Inky ty ty for showing up. I really have missed you soooooooooooooo much, U r one of my mentors

The holidays were hectic. I am happy that I didn't gain weight during the parties and dinners with friends and family. I am still swaying between 156 and 160. I'm am OK with that.

Hi Everyone,
First off, apolgies for disappearing. There are so many reasons, and I'll try to state the obvious ones without being a total bummer. But I am really sorry, more than you know, for bailing out on OH and my April 2007 friends. Thank you to Shar for checking up on me. It was her search that really has stuck in my mind of late and that's why I am back here.
I hope all of you are well and happy and successful. I will try to catch up on what I've missed over time.
I basically got overwhelmed with losing weight. Sounds weird, or maybe it doesn't. I got tired of thinking about food. In the past months I have held my own, dropping down to 186.5 in August, but now holding steady for many weeks around 188 (where I was in July 2008). I was up to 190 over the holidays, and now am back on track. I really desperately want to get rid of another 33 pounds. With all that said, I learned a great deal about maintenance and am just happy I haven't relearned too many bad habits. Carbs are not my friend, and using sparkpeople again starting today is my daily goal. We'll work on the rest later.
I've become really sendentary again, though hubby and I did take swing dance lessons this year and we go dancing at least once a month, more often when there is time. I am healthy, having battled a few minor hassles like a massive ear infection, a lump (benign) removed from my back near my neck on the left side, and still dealing with the frozen shoulder issues for a year now, though some movement is recovered, but I don't think it'll ever be the same and I do not want surgery. I am mostly battling some hormonal problems that are causing me to not feel "right." Not depressed, but certainly not myself, and that's really affecting my feelings about wieght. I feel like a failure, even though I can rationalize the huge success of losing 134 and keeping it off. But I feel like I can see a horizon of failure looming and I want to overcome this. I am seeing my doc and we are trying some hormon replacment to see if this helps. If not, it's off to the shrink y for this inky!
So, here I am, hopefully to be more regular in visits. I wish you all well and Happy New Year!

Still here-not about to go anywhere! Still steady at 155lbs. Laid up like a coyote this past week. Weather was wet and cold. Off from work. Felt like a slug but probably just what my body needed.
It was wonderful the hear from some A team members we have been missing. Everyone looks beautiful and even with the struggles-we are all better off than we were before surgery.

Topic: RE: Checking in...
Shar - I'm dating 5 guys right now. LOL... but true :-) 2 are kind of exciting, maybe 3... The other 2 are definitely fizzling out. It's so odd to be on the opposite end of a break-up. I hope I don't come across as arrogant, but I'm now doing the picking which is really weird for me. I am used to taking whatever I could get. Its hard to get used to. And now that I actually have prospects for a serious relationship I am getting restless and not wanting to settle down so I can "see what's out there". Its a really strange change of events.
I am so happy for you and your relationship though. You truly deserve to be happy! Wish I was still close enough to visit. Lately when I get to Chicago I am there for such a short time I barely get to see my family. Oh well. Life is treating me very good.
