Thanks. It's actually been a sad day in some ways, as I find I am
missing my mother more than usual. I don't feel I have much family
left. (I do have a brother, who's a good guy and who called to wish
me happy birthday, but it's not the same anymore.) But friends help
:-).

*hugs*

I think I understand what you mean... I'm lucky to still have both my
parents, but everybody (family, friends, relative) are all the way accross
the continent.. my birthday is thursday and I'm not looking forward to
celebrating without any of them..

And yet, they're still around, I imagine it must be hard for you so close to
the time you lost her...

*hugs again*

Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been
successfully maintaining it :-).

My signature sort of summarizes this, but I started at 262 (though at
one time my weight was more around 275) and my goal was to be in the
130s. It took me about 2 years to reach that goal, and I've been
maintaining it for almost 3 years now.

I am, for those who don't know, a 59-year-old (as of today :-) )
female.

At present, I've managed to lose the largest total amount of weight in
my history, and I'm still going down. I consider that a success, and
if I can continue losing, that will be more of a success. Time will
tell.

Excellent! Keep it up.

I originally lost my weight in 1984 and maintained until early 1996
when I quit smoking and gained weight. I lost the weight by the end
of the year and have been able to maintain at or near my goal weight.

Starting weight was 245 lbs in July 2003. I reached my inital goal of 185
in December 2003. I then changed my goal to 165 lbs in order to improve my
running performance. I reached 165 lbs in April 2004. I've been maintaining
in the mid 160s ever since (3 years now). I owe my success to counting
calories using DietPower, long distance running, and weight training. And
of course reading this group. ;-)
