And kudos on losing the 24 pounds! Awesome! I've given up on setting specific goal dates, but I still want to lose at least 40 pounds. My doctor and I made a $5 wager yesterday -- whoever loses the most weight between now and my December appt wins. :) It's great incentive, because we're both very competitive. We'll see if it helps my motivation. I just started a medication that has the potential for either weight loss OR weight gain, so I'm determined to work extra hard now. Good luck!

It's nice to see you again, too! Congratulations on your loss. You've done really well and you should be proud of yourself! I always feel like I'm starting over, but really it's just picking up where you left off, maybe give yourself a little more leeway than you had before, but still stay on track. It sounds like you made some permanent and positive changes to your eating habits, just stick with it, and you'll be at your long term goal before long. I'd like to lose the rest by the end of this year, but if that doesn't happen it's ok. Spring seems to be when I want to take hiatus from thinking about it, so I'll give myself the winter and see what happens. :) I totally understand, Emma. It’s nice to see you again, too!
