I've been trying to post here for a week and haven't been able to get it to let me log in.  Finally I got an email from Live that gave me a link to a support site that walked me through how to fix it and here I am :)

  I'm going to update our space here over the next few days and remove the Million Pounds Match Up graphics (since that's now so last year) :)

  I made the mistake of letting myself get off plan while I recovered from my surgery in April (the hernia repair and panniculectomy).  Once I was recovered enough to walk around the house and fend for myself, I was in the habit of eating whatever and I wasn't allowed to work out till July and by then not working out was habit.

   Also, I think I was trying SOOOO hard to get as much weight off as possible before my surgeries and was stalled that it discouraged me and I felt defeated.  You'd think after having 12 pounds of loose skin removed after losing a ton of weight, it would motivate me to get even healthier, but nooo :)    This is another reminder to me that this is a life-long journey.

  But anyway...I got back on track a week ago with my eating and now have to get back to the gym.  I'm actively involved in my online support groups now to help with the mindset and that's working.  So say a prayer for me that this is the first page in a new chapter of progress. 

   I hope you're all doing well!
