Introducing myself, telling my story and reaching out to connect with others

I love what you say about goals.  One of the best things I learned from the Personal Trainer class I took for college was the whole "SMART" goal setting concept.  I used to have these horrible goals that were vague and broad and completely unrealistic.  Now my goals are really focused and feasible.  It makes such a difference for me.  

Marie, I'm glad you posted. You are in good company here. All of us have struggled.

Hi Marie  

You have gotten a great welcome and lots of great advice and help.  Not much I can add except to welcome you here and if you need help with the site or anything else, please let me know.

Hello again

Thanks to EVERYONE for their responses to my original post. I appreciate the welcoming and the advice and the opinions.

I'm pushing through, seeing weight loss (SLOW weight loss, but I'm being patient) and gaining my footing in a healthy lifestyle.

I'll be around here often, reading and posting and pondering all sorts of things regarding WLS and my health.

Please add me as a friend if you'd like. I'm a chatter-bug (not that you can tell by my LONG post;LOL ).

Peace and healthiness,

Marie.

Losing regain can be really slow... I know mine was and 90-95% of the time I was doing all the right things. 

Slow but steady... Specially the last 10 lbs... The body got smart...
