ANY one here from 2010 or 2011?
I met so many great people from 9/10 to 2/11 when I was losing my weight and then 3/11-5/11 when I was still doing more phase one days to go below goal. Wondering if any of you are still around. What a great motivation to have all worked together.
I am still plugging along…many reboots in the 34 months of maintenance. I am currently 15 pounds above my goal weight and hoping to hit my goal weight in 30 days.

Our beautiful little Rosie is 12 weeks old and my beautiful daughter is now 160. She wants to get to around 125-130 (she is only 5'2"), but is taking the last of it slow. She looks awesome!
So I just thought I would pass along a pregnancy weight success story.
You have done amazing and look great…keep it up!

Hi darbs I started in July 2011 and did maintenance in Nov 2011. Then I did what I promised myself not to do, gained the weight back. I will never give up, so I am back to lose it again.
I remember you well and you are doing great maintaining. I keep up with Wuv on FB, she was also a great inspiration, she recently (after losing 200 lbs) had surgery for the extra skin, she looks great!
Congrats to your daughter and to you, grandma

YAY! Congrats Grandma!! I am currently looking at photography for newborns and I catch myself with a lump in my throat, only 12 weeks awe. I'm SO excited to be a mom for the first time and I'm super happy my stepson is super excited. He's 11 and says he can't wait to be the over protective big brother. !
Also, HUGE yay for your daughter on her weight loss, HUGE HUGE accomplishment! I'm hoping breast feeding will help me get back but I so miss my running. I think VIP misses me running too (HA!)

And hello to some names I remember from when I started IP. Bella, Ishbel, Sandra, and Darbs. I'm starting again, doing alternatives this time and setting smaller goals. I'm not on 3FC as much as before, but I do pop in once in a while to read what's new.

Hey Bellamack…of course I remember you well we talked off and on quite a bit over the last 3-4 years.
I remember you well and you are doing great maintaining. I keep up with Wuv on FB, she was also a great inspiration, she recently (after losing 200 lbs) had surgery for the extra skin, she looks great!
I would love to see a picture of WUV…is she still on here?
Congrats to your daughter and to you, grandma

I started in January 2010 and lost 30 pounds. I changed the way I ate after losing the weight. I never started eating pasta, potatoes and rice again on a regular basis except one in awhile. I managed to stay pretty close to goal weight by starting phase 1 when I thought I needed it. For some reason since about 4 th of July I managed to eat more junk. I am back and motivated to get back to my 30 pounds.

I'm back, too. Glad to "see" you! I lost about 30 pounds in 2011 and maintained well for about 3 months when my Mom died. I gained about 15 back and lost that in 2013 then started regaining when I started my new job last April. So, here I am back to lose the 24 pounds I gained and to finally get my body fat % to 30.
Good luck!
Karen

Ladies, great to see you! I agree…I was so focused the first year of maintenance and even the second, but this third year of maintenance has been the hardest…I allowed myself to stray too far. In September I was up 32 of the 75 I had lost. I am currently up 15 of the 75 I lost. I am really hoping that 5 perfect weeks takes off those 15…I have a cruise in the middle of February. Hoping right back on after the cruise.
