Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Oh Shell,

You are so funny! Maybe the board should be renamed "Area 51"!

You got me...I have not posted because I did not want to lead anyone astray. I have been slacking up however...and need to get back on track. I am on a plateau...I only have a few more pounds to go to get to where I am at a healthy BMI. I am only 4'9" so every pound shows!

I moved to Maryland in 1999. I put on over thirty pounds there! Part of it was my surgery in 2000, and part of it was that I was unhappy there. We had no family in the area. We also did not have a scale. Finally, I gave in and purchased one and I went into shock! I started with ediets, then tried diet-to-go, then Weight Watchers. I did the best on WW because of the accountability factor. When I moved here, I went into a crohns flare...and dropped 10 pounds. It stabilized and is trying to creep back up. I do not want it to creep back up! I slide a little over the weekend...but I promise to myself and to everyone else that I will start posting again. If I don't, then you can send me an email version of a "slap up side the head"!

Take care and have a great weekend!

Karen
