    Thanks, Megan! Sometimes I wonder what's harder...losing it or keeping it off....guess I figure that out once I get there.

    OH, so close!

    Thanks Dobie and GCanter..it's been a journey and I'm getting to learn that the last 10 pounds truly is the most challenging. Thanks for your support!

    Consistency is my secret. Even on my off day(s), tomorrow is a new day. Never give up. Stumble, okay...staying down is not an option.

    It's that kind of attitude that gets you where you're going-weight loss or anything thing else you want. Good for you and congrats!!!!

    The look on your face, and the change in your posture say a LOT - this has obviously had a positive impact on more than your health. Congratulations on having such great results for your hard work - you've done GREAT!

    Y'all are making me smile and laugh...something I didn't do alot 72 pounds ago.

    One of the mindsets I have is having a backup plan and a backup to the backup plan. The first plan is "staying in the last 5 pounds". For each pound I lose, I allow myself a 5 pound "variance". When I have those moments of slippage, I tell myself I'll allow 5 pounds before the "Boot Camp Turnaround" starts. This gives me freedom to stumble(never FAILING), recuperate, and get back on the wagon.

    As a backup to the backup plan, when I get into a new decade (220's to 210's to 200's), I tell myself that I need to stay in the decade of numbers and never more than the one above it. So at 207, I NEVER want to see anything 220's again. I may slip occasionally into the 210's(5 pound variance), but there's no reason to simply stop working and gain excessive poundage back. I think I'll make this a separate post as well, but wanted to share it here first.

    It's the holiday weekend and so far, only one "free pass" meal. This is looking like a good weekend. :)
