Default Back and Hanging out in Onderland

After my gallbladder surgery back in March, I became a little less active in the forum and then in April, I wound up in the hospital for three days with post surgery complications (there was a stone stuck in my bile duct - no fun at all!) and sort of dropped off altogether.

I have, however, been keeping up with my plan and about two weeks ago, I found myself in onderland. I am now at 195 and have lost 94 pounds altogether since joining 3 Fat Chicks back in September.

I'm hoping to get back into the groove of things here. It's a great source of motivation and I've missed it!

Welcome back! Congratulations on feeling better, and your overall weight loss. What exercise and food plan have you been following? I'd love to know what components have been your keys to success.

Thanks so much everyone!

gerbies, I've been counting calories (1200 to 1400 per day) and doing something physical (usually taking my dog on walks, going to yoga, and meeting with a personal training once a week) three to four times a week.

And cfmama, I am definitely anxious about hitting the 100 pound lost mark.

Congrats for keeping on plan! you poor thing! Gallbladder problems are the worst ever! I don't know about you but I hope never to have that amount of pain again. Hope you are totally empty of your stones now. Extra for you going through that.

Keep up the good work!
