I wish this group were more active. I was just thinking...I've been heavy since I hit puberty. I don't recall wearing anything smaller than a size 12 in high school (and that was after starving myself). I wonder what I will look like when I get down to a normal weight. Maybe I'll look like I kind of have a waistline if I keep at it.

Keep up the good work, ladies. You look great

I wish the group was more active as well.

I'm the opposite. I was a size 0 through 5 until my 30s and started to gain weight in my 40s. Of course, I was in the Army so I had to stay in shape. It's still tough to get back into shape. I'm also coming to the realization that I have to do this for the rest of my life. What? That's crazy! But yes, the healthy life style has to be kept up even after reaching goal weight. I don't know about you but that made me a little sad.

It could be that I'm in a rut eating the same food every day. I'm starting to get bored! Also, the amount of planning involved can get a little overbearing. I'm using 8 little tupperware containers to bring my breakfast, snacks and lunch to work. It feels like I'm always doing dishes!

I think you're doing a great job. It's a slow, frustrating process. We just have to keep one foot in front of the other and keep trudging.
