Topic of Maintenance and Suggestions to Stay the Course

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I know when I was a newbie I came here at least once a day. I was excited to see what others were doing in terms of food choices and wows. I learned so much from this board, what to expect, what was normal for us, struggles, and determination to be successful.  I loved the meeting on Tuesday and  realize that even though most of the folks who started with me and before me are gone there are many people affording me the opportunity to reaffirm my own commitment.   It still gives me a thrill to see the rapid weight loss of the newbies and their excitement.  We all have a role in this life journey.  Mine is to show others that this can be done long term, that it is by no means effortless, that there may be setbacks, but We Can Stay Healthy The Rest of Our Lives.
