Hello Paul,
Although I do not use the treadmill or the elliptical at home, I continue to go tot he gym daily. I continue to jog 30 minutes everyday and 25 minutes on the elliptical 5 days a week.
As you well know we had a couple of hard winter days here but not many this year. I still go to the gym and Do it. Mind over matter friend. Good luck!!! Keep up the good work!!
I decided to get all of the dust off of the old treadmill. I say that it is dusty because of the static electricity, not lack of use....I have put 1200 miles on it in the past 2.5 years. Maybe I should be doing more. What is the average use people put on these thing in a Minnesota winter?
Sighs, something was lost in my post, So sorry. I was trying to post how Others have had this happen, not me. I was trying to remind people with the holiday coming up fast to be mindful of what we eat and do. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I to have had a few pounds slither back on ( 20ish) but I am still where the doctor wanted me on the charts. Hate when he is right.
Marsha! your on for coffee when your here!!!

Hey my Tinkerbell,
I totally understand how you feel. I have gained 60 lbs back and it sucks. Every time I look in the mirror I am disgusted. I am having alot of family problems and drink beer. The Carbs suck I eat a **** load after I have had a few beers. However, I know my pouch still works because I still get sick from certain foods, so maybe I am in luck for a 2nd chance. I will be coming to Fargo again in a few weeks we can get together and have coffee, we can motivate each other....
Hang tough woman we can do this, I know we can. If you wanna jibber jabber you know where I am.
Love ya and hugs to you....
Marsha

NYE Party *UPDATE* I just wanted to let everyone know, we have a "somewhat" last minute cancelation for the Lowell Inn Dinner and a hotel reservation. We also have 5 spots open for the Withrow dance party still open. If you haven't made plans for New Years Eve...please think about joining us! We are going to have a lot of fun! If you are interested...please let me know ASAP, first come, first served! If I don't hear from anyone by Friday, the reservations for the room and the dinner will have to be canceled.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a blessed Holiday Season!!!

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
You haven't failed--it's just time to head in a different direction! You did it before, and you can do it again.
Take baby steps--get the carbs out of the house. Or start an exercise program--nothing too ambitious, but just start moving. One thing at a time, and you will be able to do it. Your WLS still works, you just need to activate it again.
Believe me, I understand. I am battling stress-eating, carb control and failing to exercise lately myself. Trying to nip the backslide in the bud so it doesn't end up on my butt.
You are NOT a failure! You can turn it around!!
"I have been away for a while. I guess some of it is busy life style while other parts of it is the fact that I have failed. Yes, me! I have failed. I have put on almost all my weight that I took the time to have surgery for and to get on the right track. I am not sure where it all went wrong. I am guessing some place between the potato chips, eggnog,snicker bars and the dreaded bakery goods. The carb monster took total control of my ever last thoughts.
This my friends is something I hope to never have to say or post in reality. How awful of a feeling this could be. Truth told I know this really does happen to people. I am keeping my nose to the grind and trying to stay focused over the holidays. I hope this finds others doing the same. We can still enjoy it all, just in a different manner
Happy Holidays!!
