Congrats Kd, looks like your a professional around here!

Congrats to you as well toots, looks like your 1 year will be approaching soon.

CanIreallydothis- Heck ya, you HAVE done it! No worries sometimes my maintenance is a yoyo maintenance but a maintenance none-the-less.
I love your scale weigh in & your quote, both are Fabulous! You dreamt it and I believed I would achieve and I have do so too!

Congratulations to all of us LOSERS, big or small, we all made it and have weightloss in control!

I know this seems odd, but I count my time from the day I started CD because that's the time when I won against the weight that had plagued me for so long 20 years.

I never went back to the 14 stone I was then and I never will. Before I didn't know how to lose weight and I tried everything. Now if I put on a bit I have a system to lose and if it all goes wrong I have CD as my emergency break glass system.

That is awesome eclipse, so your a professional maintainer then! I still consider myself a maintainer in training, with my training wheels still on. But it seems as time goes on, it is becoming easier... Yeah for us all...

It's my anniversary! Today marks 11 months maintaining my 25 pound
weightloss. I weighed in today 2 pounds under my GOAL weight, oh well a
few pounds over, a few pounds under, either way works for me in
maintenance! As long as I am maintaining I don't sweat the small stuff...
Besides, the scale numbers are not as important as how I look and feel. I
love the powerful athlete that I have become. I will continue to focus my
attention on staying fit, strong and healthy for many years to come.. _______________
