@MadisonMolly2017 your commitment to maintenance is really inspiring. I took maintenance for granted and, well, I guess I know how that worked out lol. Quarantine was just an easy excuse to let everything slide. This time, I plan to be vigilant!

Thank you @Hilogirl2018 !
I took it for granted all the other times I lost weight. Not this time. My Focus/goal the whole time has been in maintenance...That is the holy grail.
So I lost slowly, slowly changing eating & exercise habits, developed other interests than eating out, AND took periodic diet breaks to prove to myself I could maintain at that weight (before losing more.)
I’m NEVER dieting again. This is it. (And it’s probably my greatest motivation) as I hate dieting,
@MadisonMolly2017 Excellent advice. The goal.is maintenance, not weight loss. Reminds me of my kids' school's focus on getting kids to graduate from college, not just high school. Same basic concept.

@Lilylady3k Congratulations on your milestone weight loss today! Also, I stole your "Pounds left to lose before challenge goal" because that's extra motivating.
@BodyTalking You're holding pretty steady- that's probably a sign that you're in for a whoosh loss any day now. At least, that's how it seems to work for me. For almost 10 days, I've been 140-point-something, and I expect (hope!) to be at 139 soon. Not gaining is also a big win!
