like a turtle...
I've crossed a milestone (like a turtle). I've lost one pound each week for 10 weeks, which is what I set out to do. I know it's a moderate rate, but it's one I can live with almost comfortably. I have quite a few more to lose, but I figure every 10 pounds lost (instead of gained!) is an acceptable excuse to celebrate (mentally, of course...not by eating or drinking with wild abandon). I hope I'm an inspiration to those of you who are thinking long-term as I am. I am developing new habits that I can live with long after I reach my goal. It feels great!

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Way to Go!!

This is the very best approach to losing weight. Everyone knows someone who lost a huge amount of weight and then put it all back on plus a few more. Losing slowly allows your body to reset its set-point. This means that the weight will stay off.

I've been doing this for two years now and have. finally, lost 10% of my former body. (If anyone sees it lying around, I DO NOT WANT IT BACK.) lol I was 250 pounds and am now at 208.

On to the next 10%

Good Luck and keep on doing what you are doing.

Nice to have company!
I really appreciate hearing your good news and the way you went about it in order to maintain it.
I may have more good news for you... the percent you've lost is now 17%!
Thanks for your example and your encouragement.
