Well, after 19 months (and 44 pounds), I finally made goal last night. One of the little pleasures I withheld from myself until now was to post on this board. As a compulsive journaller, I hope to add to the journals on most days.

Also, I have been wanting to know, but wouldn't let myself ask until this auspicious occasion, lalala - what happened to doggie snuffles??

Thank you!
Laurel

Congratulations LM

I'm a habitual journaler myself and it's a great tool to stay on track. Hope to see you posting on a regular basis. Feel free to join us at the Thin4Life weekly thread!

Hi Laurel -
Congrats on making goal last night! Glad to see you posted your bio as well - I haven't been able to post as much lately - too busy at work - but I do try to get my daily journal posted. Look forward to seeing you around here!

Congratulations Laurel and welcome! You should be very proud of yourself!

CONGRATULATIONS Laurel. When I first started reading your post, I thought it was mine. It also took me 19 months to lose my weight and return to goal and lifetime. I'm a little worried about maintenance. Keep on posting and keep on journalling.

Welcome Laurel and congratulations on your achievement. I hope you too will find support and encouragement from the "lifers" as you make your way through maintenance. Please join us on the Thin4Life thread too!

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. I think I will venture over to the Fit4Life posting too.

Laurel
