I hope I do not speak too soon, but this could be my first "successful" month of weight loss since 2007!
In November 2007 I had knee surgery and my limited mobility resulted in gaining weight.
2008 has been a stressful year full of loss and pain.
Stress Eating + Healing Knee = Even more weight gain!
Half a year later, I am about 18 pounds over where I was last November! :(
Amazing how those sneeky pounds suddenly add up...
But FINALLY it seems that things are turning back around! :-D
My calories are being counted again, and I am healed enough to be consistantly active again! :)
My "old knee" is really starting to hurt though, but I want to get back to my previous weight before I get the surgery again. This time I will do a better job of watching what I eat when laid up. :)
Delayed by not derailed,
Jess

Yay! Happy to see a new post and happy to hear you're back on track!
I love reading your blog, and when I hear about your setbacks (which, of course, are inevitable for ANYONE) I almost feel like I'm getting frustrated right along with you (since I know how hard weight management can be)...so hearing that you're moving forward with a positive mindset makes me smile.
Way to go!
yay! i'm glad to hear everything is going your way again! sorry to hear you'll have to have another knee surgery though :(
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story with all of us. You have been such an inspiration to so many. I too am beginning my journey. My blog is http://blubberyblogger.blogspot.com
I am trying to spread the word because I need all the help and support I can get!!! Please check it out. THANKS!!!
18 pounds is not a whole lot, Jessica. It could've been a lot worse! So, don't be too hard on yourself. You've "caught it," and now you know what to do. :)
Maybe you can do some type of exercise in a pool - less pressure on your knees?
You can do it - you've been an inspiration to me, so just know I'm rooting for you.
Calie. :)
