To me, you are a fellow RnYer who is making this work and whenever I wonder if something is right or normal or not, I come here and you say it is normal and I breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know what I would have done without your support and guidence. You are a lifesaver and for as long as I live I will remember what support you have been for me. I am sure others feel the same way. I only hope I can give someone else 1/2 of the support and encouragement that you have given to me., Know that you are appreciated and you certainly deserve ALL of the happiness and good things that come your way!!
9 lbs, ( one left boob) that's nothing compared to what you've already lost. YOU WILL GET THERE!!
All the best, my friend

Yup nine more pounds to my personal goal - Dr Christou's goal was for a 27-28 bmi so that was quite a few lbs ago - but I realize now how important getting to goal is to me - and then hopefully on to plastics...... I have finally figured out that plastics will be a needed step in my personal journey to complete the process - but thats for me.
I am enjoying the healthier me - but I cant count my ducks..... maintenance is the ***** ........ she is what I am worried about ....... to stay a healthy weight long term and not regain thats the key - doesnt matter how quick you get to goal - staying at goal will be the "promise land"
I think that is one big thing I took away from the retreat- never think you have it made- it takes constant work and awareness to stay at goal and maintain and its so easy to slide back into unhealthy habits.
