Having nearly hijacked another thread, a couple of us thought a weight loss thread might be a good idea; just a place to chime in on your struggles, ask advice, give support and share milestones.
Starting off with me I guess!
I've been heavy my whole life and have about 120 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight (which is actually still overweight on the charts, but what my doctor recommends). As I am 51 years old, it seems to be harder and harder. I did, at one point a few years ago, lose 100 lbs on Weight Watchers, but unfortunately, I regained most of it. It took two years. I lost 70 in one year, then struggled another year to lose the other 30. Then, hitting that goal kind of just flipped a switch and my brain said, "You're done!!!" After maintaining a year or so, on it came. I can't believe I actually let that happen.
It's back to the drawing board after the holidays.
