I went back to last years posts and realized that on this day last year I was at 142.0 lbs... two pounds away from my goal!
Today I weighed in at 147.5 lbs... that's 5.5lbs more than last year.
HOWEVER... with all the ups and downs within the last year, the point here is that I am maintaining my weight! I'm enjoying my food... my time with family.... my many occasions and celebrations. I will (and have) gain weight and I will lose it. It may take me a while but I realize that I'm not going to let myself go back down that road again.... I'm going to try my best to stop it if it gets to a point where the red flag comes waving! Just like this time.
I've already lost almost 10 lbs and I have 7.5 lbs to go to reach my goal....again.

Congrats!
Good show! Thanks for the inspiration ;-)
@ livingwater: You are so right! I did have that problem and just let it be for a long time. Then I woke up one day and said to myself "You have the tools to lose weight and you have done it before and looked fantastic. Why did you let yourself get to this point again?" I kept saying that to myself for a few months and then I made the decision to just jump right in and the rest is history!
I think a lot of my success is from the mindset I've put in my mind. I've lost and l've liked the feeling/freedom I got with it. I wanted to get that back. I worked so hard to get there again and I didn't want to lose that.
@needtoreboot: You WILL be where I'm at very soon! Just keep on doing what you're doing and stay focused! It's hard and each day brings new challenges with it.... but just stay true to yourself. You will get there.
I am 44 lbs. from goal...going the right direction!!!
