Yes I have done it I lost the weight that I have been trying to loose for a long time . But now I feel the real challange is ahead of me...... keeping it off. I know how fast it can creep on just a couple pounds at a time. Thats what happened last time Iwould say 'oh its just two pounds oh just two more pounds' and by the time I was done it was 30 pounds. Now I know weight fluctuatues alittle but how do I not just shrug it off. I have the biggest problem when I eat something not so good (which is ok every once in awhile) but I say 'well I have already messed up' so i just go crazy the rest of the day:devil:.Please any advise it is sooooo welcome because I want to stay where I am at healthy and happy and under control on MFP.

I personally set numbers that I cannot go back to. When I reached 214, I said I could never go back to 220. When I got to 193, I said I couldn't go back to 195. Now that I'm at 176 I will not allow myself to reach 180 again. I know weight fluctuates but I only count my weight from my weigh in day.
It's worked for me so far. Hope you find something that works for you :flowerforyou:
