I read the maintainers forum a lot, and with my copy of Refuse to Regain shipping today, I thought it would be good for me to really get in the groove of a maintenance mindset - even though I have about 6 more pounds to lose to reach goal.
I guess I am a maintainer who is at the red line currently
I started this final journey to my goal weight in January of 2004 clocking in at 250 pounds. It has been a long slow journey, with a foray into Plateau land and then Bakeryville a couple years ago, where I stayed for a bit.
I think I finally 'get it' now, and have really focused on how my body responds to what foods I put into it and what exercise I do - and have been very surprised at what my body has given back to me in terms of fitness and confidence. I am in better shape at 40 than I have ever been.
So, here are my old and current photos. And I want to thank all of you maintainers for sharing your struggles and triumphs at this.
