Hello! I've been lurking here for a while, and I really relate to your struggles and triumphs with weight, food, exercise, etc. I am a forty-nine-year-old wife and mom who lost 55 lbs. in the last year. My focus now is keeping the weight off. See you around the forum!

Welcome, Valkyrie1! This is a great place for support -- something I've needed even more in maintenance than I did when I was losing!

Thanks, Joy. I agree with you on that score.

Hi Valkyrie! What a smart move coming here to help with maintenance. More often we see people leave once they reach their goal weight (or before) and end up gaining it back. I wish you the best!
