I am so thankful that I found this thread! A few months ago I thought of creating an accountability thread, but I wasn't sure whether doing so was permitted on this site.

Congrats on your weightloss

Thank you! Yes, you should definitely make an accountability thread. It really helps!

I have now maintained at 198 for 2 months... yay!! Any loss after this would be fine, but I am okay with staying at this size too I feel like i have reached my goal. I am in size 12/14 and loving it!!

When I saw this back up at the top of the list, I realized I hadn't seen it in a while. Good job, southernbelle! You have really done a fantastic job. I'm maintaining, too, since the beginning of October. It's a lot the same as when I was losing, I think. Just with a bit of candy or pasta now! LOL.

Hope you have a great "end of year" and that the holidays don't mes things up too badly. I'm thinking that I might try to get to about 157 after the first of the year. Maybe a pound or 2 a month. No faster than that.

I'm with you at being OK with where I am right now. Size 10 or 12 pants, medium or large tops. No plus sizes. But a few more pounds off as a comfort zone might be good. We'll have to see what the new years brings!

Thanks so much for the support!! Congrats on your success as well!

I agree, maintenance is exactly like losing... I just eat a few more treats on the weekend ( well sometimes more than a few.... But that seems to be working ).

I've been super strict this week so that I can enjoy the holiday weekend without guilt

Down 4 lbs! I am at my goal weight!

Fantastic job! I hope you keep this thread going because i have been using it as a guideline for my own maintenance. Happy New Year.

Thanks for the support and for following this thread! I will definitely keep updating it randomly in the future

I just popped in again to ask if you have before and after photos? I clicked the link you posted a while back and don't see those photos now. I'd love to see the total transformation. have a great maintenance New Year! I'm going to check here every once in a while as I try to maintain. Your dedication to this goal really is inspiring.
