Who here kept weight off longest? To i :)
i , thank you I was blown over by your response but a nice compliment
is a real upper . I struggle EVERYDAY with my WOL/WOE as MOST of us here do. I saved a pair of pants from when I was at my largest and they have a 40 inch waist. I wore a size 24 & 1/2 woman dress and pants but now I'm one size away from my smallest size which is a 14 misses pant and 12 dress. Since coming here I now don't weigh myself very often but rather I go by sizes which took me a LONG HARD TIME I hope that many here will respond to this thread! It is good to see how well so many have done . Carol & Jay Jay are only two who are very successful. Amy is also glo |

: How long do you have to be successful to be considered "very successful"? I'd : have to think hard on how long I've been on maintenance, but I do know offhand : that it's been somewhat over a year and a half now. : : beeswing i was wondering the same thing! LOL! |

i who is "less successful" than you or Barbara but is loving every moment of being at normal weight. Aw, don't give me that! Congrats on your success. Isn't it kewl to feel better (and look better) and to be able to do more things (or the same things, but much more easily)? I feel the same -- and it often feels surreal -- like when I pick up a pair of my pants that are size 8 instead of 26 ... or looking in the mirror and thinking "Not bad!" instead of "Oh God!" ... or being able to *ride a bike* ... or catching a glimpse in a store window and not quite recognizing it's me (in a good way, not like the old bad way). I realize I am not quite at my goal in order to be considered "in maintenance" -- but I think there's a hell of a lot to be said for someone who has kept off 100 lbs for 19 years, and is an additional 70-75 lbs. less than she was two years ago. If I do say so myself. :-) Mary M 325-160-148 |

... I've had my own versions of all of those things. I've tried to explain to my husband how truly odd it feels -- but since he hasn't shared anything similar, he doesn't at all get it (and he gets tired of hearing about it very, very quickly!). One of the great things is that my new (since Jan.) boyfriend is really into eating well and exercising -- he has lost over 20 lbs. since we started dating, just from eating the way I do and walking -- and now biking. And he is totally thrilled with that and supportive of the lifestyle, both doing and talking about it. I realize I am lucky, because it would be hard for me to not be able to share that experience with someone. I realize I am not quite at my goal in order to be considered "in maintenance" -- but I think there's a hell of a lot to be said for someone who has kept off 100 lbs for 19 years, and is an additional 70-75 lbs. less than she was two years ago. If I do say so myself. :-) Your experience, as you write it here, is a great example of why I find comparisons to be useless. You've managed to maintain a loss of more than I've lost (and congratulations to you, there!), and your recent weight loss is precisely the same amount as the one I've been trying to maintain. Of course, you're a success, and of course, there's a lot to be said for you! Thank you -- the amount of weight you've lost is really life-changing -- when you've had a 70+ lb weight loss, so many doors open (or open again) and it can be a little overwhelming, eh? Plus the excruciating pain of being over 70 lb overweight gets a little dim, and so old habits that seem innocent enough can start to creep back in -- that's what I really have to watch for. As an aside, I feel pretty inconsequential in this group, over all. I have never considered you so -- I think you are a good example of weight loss and the willingness to try new things and staying honest about what is happening on the maintenance front. Mary |
