I vote for 212 for 2 reasons. One, it’s obviously an important memory for you or you wouldn’t have mentioned it. Don’t try to downplay it. Two, I’m a person who LOVES to cross things off my list and this is an extra goal to accomplish. And, if things get tough for a while it’s a closer goal to focus on.

WTG!!!

i agree i say 212 first, because once you pass it you’ll be able to laugh at that number as it rushes past you. then we can set the goal at 190 after…what is your final goal? whatever it is, all these mini goals will surely get you there. keep up the awesome work Delita, so proud and happy you’re at your halfway mark! :hugs:

Wow! That’s fantastic, Delita! Go for 212, it’s not so far down the road and it’s going to add another notch to your gun. Keep it up, girl! You’re downright inspirational!

LOL gottaloose! I sure do like the idea of laughing at 212 as I fly right by it!! What a trip this is turning out to be. I’ll never forget that you were my first 3fc faithful reader and probably really got me interested in sticking with this diet blog thing! =) Thanks, sis! Delita

thanks patty, I do believe I will go with the 212. Just being back there and remembering how distraught I was being there the first time and how I am sooooooo not distraught but empowered now will be worth it. Great to see you and thanks! Delita

Good luck! Are you still on FBD, or have you modified it/moved to something else?

Sounds like a good goal at 212. You’re doing great, keep up the good work.

Hi, Sunnie! Thanks for finding me! I stayed on the FBD for about 6 weeks as a jump start, but it was too much work and not enough calories for me (my body kept plateauing, refusing to lose unless I ate more). Then I ended up switching to a modified Paleo (meaning “very loose”). Really, I’m not on a diet, just avoid wheat and sugar (because they trigger me, among other things - and ALL aspartame), then try to eat a solid portion protein, mostly lean meat and eggs and all the green veggies I can, plus 2-3 fruits per day. That is it. Very simple, and very flexible which works with eating what is available wherever I am. As you can see, though, it is - by the grace of God - working for me. Very happy to meet you and thanks for stopping by! Delita

Sunnie, oops — I think I was on the FBD about 10 weeks, I’d have to go back and read my old posts! lol Delita
