2.4lbs in 3 days?

How badly do you need that?  cutting half an arm should do it?  

sorry.. hope you can take a joke..

Ha!  I have big arms. Probably more than 2.4lbs. My luck, I'll just end up with an uneven number and in the same boast. 

I will be seven years in October.  I am at my goal and work everyday at maintaining.  It makes not one iota of a difference what I weighed on any particular day in the weight loss phase.  I followed my plan and let my body do its thing. 

Don't do 60 pounds, that's sheer insanity! Go for 59 or 61. Those are both prime numbers. Prime numbers are the best.

Grim, you win best reply ever!!!

Go ahead and say you've lost 60 lbs.

We won't tell.

What Geek and Tracy said.  In a year it won't matter a bit how much weight you lost at what point.  If you establish a pattern of obsessing about the scale and continue to have a diet mindset, however, those things WILL matter in a year... and not in a good way.

A big part of this journey (where the outcome is successful maintenance of the weight loss) is changing how you think about weight, eating, and food.  The people who are successful and who are healthy and happy both psychologically/emotionally as well as physically, get rid of the dieting mindset and replace focusing on what the scale says with making good food and activity choices as their measure of daily success.

Don't worry. There's no obsessing here. I've lost 57 by listening to my body and going with my sleeve tells me to do. For me, I do better when I avoid bread, pasta, or rice. They swell and it feels yucky! That doesn't mean I never eat them but now it's a nibble or two. I feel best on lighter stuff like fish and veggies or even string cheese. 60lbs just sounded like a good mini goal. If it doesn't happen (& it probably won't), no biggie. 

I so hear you! I have no date in mind but I am within less than a stone's throw of 100 lbs lost. I can taste it. It tastes like bread and pasta! Yummmm!!!!! You are doing great! Keep up with it and 60 lbs will be a distant memory soon! And the date won't matter anymore.

I've never used a seat belt extender. I've only flown once since I gained weight and then I just faked like it fit. I am flying in 3 weeks. I guess we'll see if going from 303 to 245 is enough for me to fit in the regular belt. Fingers crossed!
