    @bradkcrew - here’s something I heard in a podcast and it couldn’t be more true “the diet industry has made billions of dollars telling us how to lose weight, and almost none telling us how to maintain.” Like you said, this is why our weight yo-yo’s so much. I’ve also learned that maintenance is something to practice, so that when you get there, you know what it looks like. I’ve not yet done a true maintenance cycle but plan on doing that later this year.

    @seilidhe - ok you get the award for best analogy/imagery - the CHA-CHA!!!!!!!!!

    @seilidhe I just love the cha-cha analogy, and boy isn't that the truth! I will definitely remember that one! :) And I must say that your attitude is amazing. You seem to have a lot going on, yet you keep such a terrific outlook - I applaud you!! 👏

    I was so tired last night that after reading all the posts leading up to mine, I completely forgot to log my own response to the extra credit question! Sorry about that. But like so many others, I've learned that this isn't a "diet" with an "end date" - but rather a lifelong journey. I've always been a goal oriented person in other areas of my life - once I reach a goal, I reassess and make new goals. My weight loss should be no different.

    Yes, yes and yes

    This question makes me think about how I have been not really focusing on my goals and I need to get into the right mindset. I need to change this thinking. :/

    Goals - for me, there is no end. As I get healthier and stronger, I want to do all the things. As I get older, my goals are adapting all those things to where I am in life. I’m liking this retirement thing. I have a few regrets that I waited this long and didn’t retire in my 20s 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Congrats on the 3 YES day @bradkcrew @ashleycarole86 @MadisonMolly2017 @donna25trinity @biketheworld @_JeffreyD_ @znaoiec @thabit11 @brisingr86 @DebyS137 @readyornot1234

    Glad to hear you are getting some great fun times with the grandkids @RangerRickL

    You still did so many amazing things today @seilidhe keep doing that cha-cha!

    Happy travels @idoliov

    Hope you are having a great time on vacation @calvin20874

    I want to thank everyone for their very thoughtful replies to my question. I have never reached my ideal weight before and am still a little unsure what life will look like when I get there. I am confident that I can reach that goal this time though, and am taking all of these replies into account to help guide myself along in this journey.
