Hi Carol,
Congratulations on everything you've accomplished! Your posts have always been extremely helpful and motivating for me. I will be six months post-op on 1/21 and have 18 more pounds to lose before reaching goal weight. The sharing of your experience and advice has helped more than you know. I am afraid of maintenance, having regained so many times in the past, but I am committed to this plan. I know I will continue to come to this board to seek out the wisdom of long-time contributors like yourself when I'm struggling. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Carol! You are a year ahead of me, and I remember when I first joined OH, you were already inspiring me! You have done such a great job, and what you say rings so true to me - maintenance is hard, and you have to continue to make good choices. I am so happy for you that you are doing so well going into year 3 and following plan. Congratulations!!!
I love love love hearing success stories. They put good energy into the universe. I am past 6 years and regained about 5 pounds but i was down to bmi of about 20. I am about 22 now and thats cool.
