I realized that today is my 6 year maintenance anniversary and my weigh-in this morning put me within a pound of my original goal weight, that I hit on April 1, 2013 :) I chose that weight to be my goal because it's what I weighed on my wedding day, when I had just turned 24. I'm now 40 years old and can comfortably fit into size 4/6 jeans, have a BMI of a 22 but most importantly-all my health markers/blood work is great, including having normalized glucose numbers since 2013, (diagnosed a prediabetic in 2012/last fasting glucose test put me at an 87). Feeling a bit emotional this morning-realizing that I've beat all the odds and I can now say I'm maintaining successfully, long term, but also realizing how far I have to go yet. 6 years done, 45ish more years to go!

    This is great! Well done :smiley:

    You and I have similar stats (age/BMI/clothing size) except I haven't been maintaining nearly as long. If you can do it, I guess I probably can too ;) Peter Cetera/Chicago song.
