Hi, I'm sosumi. I've been doing LC on and off since 2000. I once lost 100 pounds. I was elated. Then, I had to have surgery and experienced a difficult recovery. I fell off the wagon and gained all of it back over 13 years. During that time, I went on and off LC without getting much traction.

I've been back at this since the end of Aug last year. In this year, I've lost 44 pounds. The last 8 months were very stressful with work and other external forces. I've been more in a maintenance mode.

Things are much better now and I have less stress. I am refocused and want to get to goal.
