Nah. We're all winning.

Look at the chart you posted above: Nearly everybody is losing weight - and those who haven't are at least holding steady. It's all good!

Mark - you are doing GREAT!

Mark's in the zone. He'll be the poster child for weight loss, until there's no Mark left!

That's not necessarily a bad thing...

Especially considering where you've been, Reina. Maintaining is tougher.

Thanks Tim and Oz ... I appreciate the support and perspective. I have come a long way - down 100 pounds in about 6 years - 130 total. I have to remember that - and I need to keep focused!

That's a good point... also, there comes a time when it's about maintenance, not losing more just for the sake of losing. You have accomplished something amazing. Don't lose sight of that over the tail end of the process.

Wow, Reina! I didn't realize this! Congratulations!

Thanks Mark and Peg! I always appreciate the support .. it's not ever something that will come easily to me I don't think.

Reina,

I'll hold him while you smack him.

Reina,

That is amazing! Good for you! I can't imagine how proud you must feel....

Thanks all for the kind comments!

I'll post before and after pics - I need to find a digital before pic first.

It's perfectly fine for him to lose the weight he's lost, as long as it's not caused by a disease or similar. He's found his method to lose the weight and he's taking full advantage of it. Sort of like prospecting for gold...he's hit the motherlode. It's great!

Based on what I've heard, two pounds a week is about as much as you can safely lose. That's about what I've been able to do this time. And given how I *just* fell out of the "overweight" BMI category (I'm not particularly tall), it'd say it was overdue. I'm a long ways from skinny.
