Topic: RE: Any of the oldies still here from a few years ago?
Hello there! I got to my goal weight in 2008 and in 2009 life just went to pot. I am slowly pulling myself out of the wreckage and finally learning to put myself first. Glad to see so many are still around, although I am not as active as I was.

Hi Beth! I just accidentally clicked on this "bookmark", glad I did! Yea, still struggling here too. :( Not sure what my problem is. Really think it's all head issues, which really stinks. I've really been paying attention to when I eat, and it's definitely all in my head. Now if I can just figure out how to put it into action! :) Glad to hear from you, we should keep in contact...you too Lori! Would love more diet email buddies.lol :) Let me know and I'll send you my home email.

I just logged back in today. You girls were so instrumental in my weight loss a couple of years ago. When I lost my internet connection, I lost you, too. It truly is unfortunate because I have put all my weight back on since then.
Lori, I wish you best and Lord, I remember all the effort you put in to have your body knock you down over and over again. God Bless!
Holly, are you still struggling, girl? I know I am without any other option but to continue to struggle. It stinks for sure.

Topic: Optifast
Any one here used Optifast as a stand alone method for weight loss...not to prep for wls? I'd love to hear about people's experiences. Is it worth giving it a try before deciding to go ahead with wls? Has anyone actually kept the weight off?
Topic: New to VLCD.
I just started the Very Low Calorie Diet today and i'm only 2 drinks in and having trouble. I'm not totally starving, I stayed away from food even when people taunted me with it today but the thing is the drinks, arent all that tasty. I was wondering if there are any VLCD people out there on the shakes right now that recommend something good, like possibly making them into food? favorite recipe? thanks. :)

Topic: Need help losing weight??
I love helping people lose weight and feel better about themselves. I am part of a health and wellness company that is AMAZING. As long as you stick with it you will lose the weight, feel better than ever before, and have a lot of energy. I am 36 and haven't had this much energy in YEARS!

I wish you nothing but the best Lori. Keep in touch on how you are, and when you are going to have it done. You will be in my prayers. I hope for your sake that they take the six months that you already previously did. It wasn't supervised though was it? But if not, so be it, just a little bit longer to reaffirm what you already know. You are a strong woman, you will do great in anything you decide. :)

I just renewed my registration - haven't even gotten my avatar in yet. (cute little black puppy.)
I talk with Mary (Magnolia Mary) on the Atkins site off and on.
Did you know I was going to have RNY 2 years ago and got cold feet. My doc was very through and I had all the tests and lab work and counseling and even scheduled surgery. I did so well on the pre-surgery low carb program I decided to try Atkins before making the big commitment to re-routing my insides. I haven't lost enough to not have the sleep apnea which was found during the sleep study but I have learned alot!
Good luck with your continued efforts. I know my guy promised ALL his patients lost 100 pounds.

Yea...I'm doing well.. sans my weight loss efforts.
I did get down to 201 lbs... but always tetered between 215 and 230...
right now I'm up to 240 and I went to see a surgeon. I alwyas said that this would be my last resort - and I think I'm at the end of my rope.
First things first.... my insurance does cover it, but if my primary can't provide information regarding 6 months worth of dieting that they find adequate, I'll have to find a new primary and start with 6 months worth of diet info. I have to have an endoscopy and a sleep study... and could possibly get on the schedule for June.
I gotta tell ya... Im tired! I think I gave it my best shot and at my best I had lost 120 lbs on my own,.. now I believe I could use the tool!
Hope all is well with you, Holly... and Janine! Wonder how her surgery went!!! Lawd, we all scattered to the wind!
