I'm back after, as best I can tell, about 7 years. It makes me happy to see that GoaD has survived, and that there are still some familiar people posting. Some things don't change I guess.

As a quick update for the group, I made WW Lifetime in 2012. I maintained that weight for about 9 years. A major medical situation in January 2021 left me well below that target weight, needing to gain weight as I came back from it. Well, I gained it back and kept going. I am now about 20 pounds over where I want to be.

GoaD was a big part of my weight loss and weight maintenance experience before so I know it can be again. I plan to once again be a regular on the board, if you will have me. I'm back!

    Welcome back Philtex. Good to "see" you.
    Both TOL and I are at goal (me by the skin of my teeth). WW has changed, AGAIN, but it's still the same.

    Welcome back Phil. Yeah, I think even us lifetimers struggle. I've been consistently 10-15 pounds over where I want to be. Maybe it's useful to have a goal?

    Glad you’re here. Yeah, I wandered off in 2014 after four years at goal, and didn’t start to correct it until 2020. I'm only partially joking when I say Covid saved my life. It became apparent early on that it was culling the elderly, the infirm, and the overweight. I couldn’t do anything about my age, but I could deal with the other two. In November '22 I was back at goal after losing the 89# I’d regained.
