...I changed my e-mail address and wasn't smart enough to be able to get back ADBB under my old user name. SO....I am now "Thin is possible!" I hope now that all my old friends will reconize me! At least my new name is similiar and more positive, huh? 
Well, anyhow, I have been doing some backsliding. That's what I get for letting life get in the way and not taking time to be energized by this web-site!
For those of you who don't know me, I have lost 130 pounds with this WOE and it has dramatically changed how I feel about myself and how I look! I totally believe in this program and WOE but somehow, have fallen off the wagon the past few months. My high weight was 295 and I lost down to 164. My current weight is 185. So, if you do the math, I have gained back 21 pounds and 19 inches to be exact. I electively gained back 7 to 10 as I did not like the way my face was looking. I am a pear shape and therefore to contine trying to lose the fat in my lower body, unfortunately, my upper body gets pretty thin...and I didn't like the way I looked. Anyhow, I wish I wouldn't have panicked about the way I looked and just wish I would hovered at that weight as I am not so sure that my face was just that way from enduring a huge weight loss. My friend thinks I should have hovered there at 164 for 6 months, let my body stabilize, and then maybe I would have felt "OK" with cheeks. Well, I didn't do that, and in my fearful effort to regain 10 pounds I over shot my goal and put on 21. NOW...I gotta deal with it! So, here I am at the STAC site. Thank goodness I have a place to go!
I am a little afraid to start this a second time around as I, too, have read the "One Golden Shot" article and am fearful that the weight won't come off. If anyone would like to shoot me some advice on this or if you have any personal experience, I would love to hear it! I am praying it is an old wives tale.
I will start back on induction as of 3/11/07 and I will be checking in here to have you all keep me accountable. If you will, please? I have to say that where I have slipped is in my eating choices as my exercise has reamined steady....with the exception of during that time of my knee surgery which was 3 days before Christmas. I had some recoup time but feel good that at 10 weeks post op I am back to riding my bike 10 miles or walking 5. My weight training has also remained consistent. I am thankful for the committment to excercise or the gain would have been much more dramatic I fear.
So....there is where I am in at in a nutshell. I would appreciate any encouragement I could get and would love to hear from the "old stand bys" such as Perry, Bowulf, Richt, Moochie Cat, 2 Big, Lizellen, TT Driver, and the list goes on.........
I have missed you guys! God bless, please pray for me and hope to hear from you all soon!
