If it took you a year or two to lose your weight, how did you stay
motivated for that period of time? Did you reward yourself for every
five pounds of weight loss? Or did you just have a long term vision of
the new you? Also, once you got into thinking way-of-life vs. diet,
how did you go about predicting what was really going to work for you
over the long haul. Was it just trial and error?

I was motivated by that scale going down every week! I didn't join this
group until I had already been maintaining for 6 months but I *still*
learned a lot once I did. (and why doesn't anyone talk about flaxmeal
anymore?? g)

I don't use flaxmeal but I still put a tablespoon of ground flax seed in my
oatmeal each morningg Does this count?

Sure! That's what I mean. Thanks Beverly.

I had to haunt the yardsales for half a summer to find a coffee grinder
to do my own flax seeds (for a buck!) I always feel so virtuous eating
flaxseed and folks are impressed when I mention it ;-)

I fix my oatmeal at work in the kitchen area. Many times I've had people
ask what is in my oatmeal. When I tell them I add ground flaxseed and
protein powder I often get remarks about eating healthy. Of course there is
one fellow who just hates oatmeal and he just gags and tells me my healthy
eating is going to kill himg
