Diligence is always required

Hi Danielle,

I am so proud of you for doing something so selfless.  You came here for you, but you have helped so many people by doing so.  Giving and taking from this forum is what it is all about.

I wish you great success at getting those extra pounds off.  I will be looking forwad to your Monday Weigh Ins..  Lots of luck hon!

My biggest fear is maintanence.  I am pretty sure I can get this weight off.  I am not so sure I can keep it off.  It was a big eye opener for me to here, I would have to work at it and be diligent for life, to keep it off...  I was actually hoping that once it was off it was gone for good...  not so...

The best thing is that now that I know that, I can prepare for it, I can make life long habits as I go along, learn what to eat and when, to lose or to maintain...  I am scared, but I am trying to be prepared for maintenance...  my journey does not end at goal, for me it just begins...

I am so proud of you and wish you all the best,

Cindy
