Suz - I bet it is hard mentally handling gaining weight, afterall a year ago you went in to this wanting to lose. But really, when it all comes down to it, you know your body and where you need to be. So when you get to that point and want to maintain, then you can keep a better eye on not gaining and not losing. I'm going to allow myself a 5 lb window though. You have done wonderful and look amazing!!

Thanks Holly! It is Sooooo awesome!! Mary

hmmm I don't know if that's the case for me, over the Holiday's I ate a lot of snacky foods (cheese, crackers, dips, sausage) and I gained 3 lbs I think. I do know that I can eat chinese once a week and not gain though, so that makes me excited!! Well, shoot if it doesn't make you gain and you're making semi good choices, I say go for it. I'd just weigh daily to make sure the weight doesn't start creeping up and keep my water intake the same and continue on your meds. Congrats to you for meeting goal!!!! Did you ever really think you would? I didn't (not you, I mean me!) Wow, your total opposite of me, when I look in the mirror with clothes I think not bad ( I look thinner than I do naked) but when I look in the mirror w/o the clothes, well let's just say the words coming out of my mouth aren't even close to "not bad!" I look much heavier naked due to my stomach. I do look boney in my neck and shoulder area though. Too bad we couldn't pinpoint where we want to and don't want to lose the weight. Oh, when I got down to 120 lbs I felt like I looked unhealthy, so I know what you mean. There's a point where you have to stop. I think I look better @ 123.

Thanks Stephanie!!! Mary

Thanks Stacy!! Im thrilled! Mary
