1. I'm new to this group

Just trying to catch up on some reading.

I'm a yo-yo dietor. I've lost and regained the same 50 pounds 4 times in the past 17 years. I'm trying to psych myself up/find inspiration to lose it for good. I'm so tired of being so fat. :eyes:

[auntAgonist]

2. I know ALL about yo yo dieting!

I lost I gained I gained I lost .. years of being morbidly obese and nothing working, I opted for WLS .. so far so wonderful!

Not for everyone of course :)

I'm down 120lbs!

welcome to the group, it's nice to have you here!

:hug:

3. Thank you and

Congrats on your success!!

I shouldn't whine. I only weigh about 190 and I know there are so many who have struggled with so much more weight than I have!

Thanks again though for the warm welcome! I'm glad to be here.

4. Hey auntAgonist!

Good to hear from you! I've been missing everyone from here as well! Things have been MUCH too quiet around here lately. Even if everyone has fallen off the 'wagon', as it were, I still miss hearing from you guys! I check this forum every single day to see what is going on; I just miss you all! Don't be strangers!!

ps. thanks auntAgonist for starting this 'check-in' thread! I've fallen off the wagon and need help getting back on track... For once and for all!

5. falling off the wagon

is SO easy to do!
I had a bad reaction to a flu shot I got last thursday. By saturday I was feeling icky, Monday I fainted at work, oh yeah, embarrassing! Spent the rest of the week dying! Through all of that I 'forgot' to eat or drink because I had such awful happenings *if you know what i mean* when I did. By thursday this week, I was dehydrated. YUK. Anyway, pushing fluids on friday seemed to help and tonight I'm feeling ok.

It's GREAT to hear from you too LavenderDiva!!! PM me anytime you think you need to vent, rant or just say hi!

:hug:

[lavenderdiva]

6. man oh man, your week sounds BRUTAL!!

I, too, had a flu shot last week, but thankfully didn't have any reaction. Your reaction sounds extreme. I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Let's hope that once you recover from the shot, it does its job and you don't get the flu!!

Thanks for the hug-- here's one back atcha!

7. well i've officially lost 56 pounds, i'm about 12 away from my goal

and i actually bought a pair of size 10 jeans the other day, when i started i was in an 18/20. I'm kind of holding steady right now which is fine by me, at this point i'm lucky to lose 1/ pound a week and again thats ok by me.
