Well I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and didn't eat too much. I had my small Correll salad plate I eat on all the time. It sure helps using a small plate. Instead of a big huge plate then you will overeat.I have a goal and didnt break it. I am waiting a week to step on the scale since I was doing the scale thing every day and night. I have the scale out of my sight now. And that sure helps too. Last time the scale said 175 pounds. So I hope I am losing. I did eat pies for Thanksgiving so I do have to get back to writeing my food down again . That sure helps tooo. Till next time. Anita

Hi All. Well I wanted to let you know I am doing so good.
I am still doing 2 miles twice a day on my treadmill and now I am 191 pounds. Yup I am losing again. It feels so good to see the scale go down. I sure break out in a sweat when I am on my treadmill. it turns down my arms so I have to be doing something right. I am not sure where I am losing the weight. I hope my stomach area. I don't see where I am losing the weight yet. I can't wait for next months meeting so Sandi and Becky can see me. I sure hope they see that I lost . The support meetings are helping me to get back on track and using my tool. That's it for now.Anita

Well today is 4th of July. I went to Arnot wls support meeting last night. It was very good. Each time I go i get more support and more will power.I hope to go wedneday to the 2 year wls meeting at horseheads office. After your out so long some bad habits come back and that has to stop or it will control you and you will not be using your tool. examples are eating sweets, candy, chocolates, not measuring ,over eating so i am now learning to reuse my tool that dr. cole gave me and i am losing again. yes i did gain some weight back. so now i am measuring my food. weighing my meat. waiting a half hour to eat or drink and doing my treadmill twice a day. i got a goal for my birthday which is july 20th my goal is to be less than 190 pounds since i am 196 pounds right now. i think my lowest weight after surgery was 170 something pounds. so i believe i am trying and yes it sure is hard. but i have all of you all for support i beleive too. i think thats it for now.. anita

 Well here it is a New Year and guess what I am measuring and cutting down on the food I am eating. I have stopped the Diet Pepsi and am not drinking with my meals like I was before also I am waiting to drink or eat for a half hour. I have gained some weight for doing old habits so I am getting straighted out now. I will keep you posted as how I am doing.
