I am going to try to do the weigh****chers points.  I didn't sign up for anything or commit to anything like that.  My husband had found this site and has tons of recipes.......I think beings I have gained as much as I did this will help better than doing the pouch test, or liquid diets, and what not.  The more I tell myself no too something the more I want it, with this I will not eat my breads, chips, crackers, rice, noodles, the stuff I shouldn't eat I'm not gonna eat....... 

I am alot to blame I bring the **** into the house for my boys, and hubby.  I have heard a few times we can still eat it then I feel guilty and buy it and keep buying it.  Sometimes I feel why bother.......

Getting back to the points system I am really excited about this, first time in a long time I am excited.
I have given up my beer, and decided I need to find something else to make me feel good and happy, and I think finding the new me again is the ticket.

I hope you all have a good week........If anyone wants to do the points system with me let me know.

Thank you both. I think having people who have been through WLS to talk to is a big part of being sucessful with long term weight loss. I appreciate the feedback from both of you. Its a new year and a great time to get back on track and lose the baby weight as well as regain the good habits that got me to my original weight loss sucess.

 Yep, the one meal a day grazing diet is a real killer.....You are not alone there. I am thankful that the holidays are behind us. On to the "today is the first day...." No more of the "Manana Diet" waiting until tomorrow....
  Lets do the submarine diet....submerging our weight and going down.

Alrighty I am in.......

Start 300

Lowest 164

Today 199

I need to get back on track, but I also need the support, so I am here and ready.

Okay, for those of you who are newer, or haven't been around for awhile, some of us post our weight, both ups and downs, each week on Monday in order to stay accountable.  You can post your weight or not, as you choose, but it is a good chance to check in with a support group and be honest with yourself about your status.

So here's mine:  I've had a lot of trouble with the holiday sweets.  I've always had a sweet tooth, and it is back with a vengeance.  It's time to get all this stuff out of my house!   I have been pretty consistent in my exercising, so that has helped, but I still freaked out on the scale this morning.  Time to buckle down!!

Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 140.7 lbs
This week: 142.0
Gain of 1.3 lbs!  I am now 2 lbs OVER my "freak-out" number!  AAAGH!  (That's me, freaking out.)

Still running and cross-training consistently, but I need to get back to protein first, limit the night-time snacking and permissive "treats."  New year, fresh new start.  Who's with me?
