...and one sentence jumped off the page at me. Here it is:
"A recent study from the Penn State College of Medicine found that only about 1 in every 6 Americans who has ever been overweight or obese loses weight and then somehow manages to keep the pounds off."
I am so thankful I found 3FC when I started this journey. I know I can do it with the tools I have learned here and the support so freely given here.
Good to see you, Annie! If you've lost and kept off any weight, well, you're a maintainer. I'm certainly not at a goal weight but I find hanging around here very helpful. Please stick around!
Hey, Annie! Much, much information here about the longest phase, and it's good you're joining early. Check out the stickies - it's a gold mine of information. The recipes alone ... divine!

I was one of the other 5 people for 20 years. It took me that long to figure out I couldn't diet, lose weight and stop and hope to keep the weight off. I had to change how I ate forever. I am working on 5.5 years of maintenance at my goal weight thanks to that one simple mental shift.
Keeping The Weight OFF!
I saw this story online this morning....

I'm about 10 lbs from goal right now too!
