Hello everyone

this is my first time here, hope to have some support and will offer mine when I can. I'm 47 years old and for the first time in 22 years I'm at my goal weight thanks to the ww point system, I joined a year ago and attended the meeting for about 4 months, and have been winging it alone since then, I have been a little wobbly lately and thought some support might be called for, I've been up and down 2-3 lbs. but staying within range, I feel like I really want to just let go and eat lately but I know I'll hate myself if I go back up. I was 204lbs at 5' 7" and now I range between 150-153, is there anybody else that would like to share the their trails and tribulations??? Jill

WOW you have done great! I have been there before and then I get it in my head that I can quit dieting and I gain it back. Stay strong! I am having trouble getting back on the wagon and I think it is because I know how hard I worked to get the weight off and I gained it back. This is a great place to find support. I know you worked hard at taking the weight off and you can keep it off! Keep Posting!

Have a great day!
Sami

Hi Jill... you are very smart to join a support group here BEFORE you gain any weight back.
Sometimes we need that little reminder of what it used to be like.
Maintance can be just as hard as losingg... in fact harder.... but YOU CAN DO IT !!!! Hang in there
