Nice to Meet you...

Hi, My name is Angie. I have been overweight for the past 8 years. In January of 2003, I had gastric bypass surgery. Due to a mechanical failure, I only lost 20 pounds. I am so disappointed in myself. I need to lose over 100 pounds, but I feel like it's insurmountable. I have kicked up my exercise and GAINED 6 pounds. It's embarrassing! I just feel like such an absolute failure at all weight loss programs. I mean, I can't even get gastric bypass to work! (Granted, the failure isn't my fault, but I feel like it is.)
I guess I just wanted to introduce myself and read through this board and join in to get some encouragement. I look forward to reading your posts.

Have you changed any of your eating habits (Weight watchers,atkins or less calories)? Good luck with everything and i hope u stay on board and post often =)

Welcome! That must be frustrating having the surgery not work for you. I can't even imagine! Keep up the exercise, though. Don't worry about any weight gain from that. As the other posters have already said, muscle weighs more than fat, so it's actually a good thing! Keep it up, and soon enough you will see the pounds come off. Good luck with your journey.
