My two-year anniversary is July 8. I averaged almost exactly 5 pounds per month. As I was aiming for 4-6 pounds per month, this was pretty much on target :-). I wanted to try to preserve muscle as much as possible, and to eat in a way that would be sustainable for life (including occasional treats and such), so didn't want to lose too rapidly.

Absolutely. I bought some clothes earlier in the season, and several of the pairs of pants went into a pile to take to the tailor to be shortened. With one thing and another, I didn't get there when I should have, and am heading out in a few minutes to go. I just tried on the pants in the pile this morning, and several pairs -- unworn -- have gone straight into the charity pile. They're 10s that are now too loose. (There are also a couple of 10s that are still more or less okay, and that I like enough to invest in shortening. And there's one pair of 6s that I bought this week :-) .) But this shift from predominantly size 10 to predominantly size 8 has been only a 6-7 lb. weight change. I found that there were fewer pounds between the smaller sizes. I skipped from 12 to 6 - missing 10 and 8 completely. I wasn't buying clothes as often as you perhaps, but there were only a couple months in there. Conversely, there isn't very much wiggle room in the other direction either! (going to pet and stroke my pile of size 4 jeans g) -- Walking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude!

I'll tell ya what's really fun is wearing my 15-year-old son's clothes. ;-) My husband was sorting laundry on our bed the other day and complained in disgust that he can't tell my clothes apart from my 13 year old daughter's anymore. Heh. We're converging. Dally |

Chris, honestly, this is one of the reasons I make time to read your food journals. The sheer honesty of what it takes to lose weight, along with seeing your results has been so affirming as a role model... if you can do it, so can we, indeed! Dally |

It's nice to think that posting the journals is useful for someone besides me :-). It sometimes seems to me sort of self-serving to use the newsgroup this way (as I mainly do it keep myself honest). If it helps anyone else, that's wonderful. I don't really feel like it has taken sacrifice to do this. It's more like a job or something -- you just keep doing what you have to do.
