 It's Official. I'm at GOAL!! Today at weigh-in the needle sat smack on 135.:jump: That's fifteen pounds gone since January 3. Even more exciting for me--this is the first time in memory that I've actually reached a weight goal I set for myself, and it's six lbs. below last year's plateau that I thought was my body's "final answer." So there! How am I going to celebrate? Well, as I mentioned in a previous thread, I plan to lower my goal. hee-hee. I'm nothing if not goal-driven, and it will help me with working through pre-maintenance etc. if I have a somewhat lower target in mind. As Alida said weeks ago, the prospect of maintenance is kind of scary. But I've acquired some new information this time around that will serve me well as I begin to add a few good foods back into my life. It has been nine years since my high weight of 192. That's when I celebrated my 50th year by losing 50 lbs. (on lowfat) and mostly keeping it off for several years afterwards. After struggling with maintenance and weight gain, I started Atkins in January 2003 (at about 160). Finally, I'm feeling peaceful and happy--with my ability to manage weight and, more important, to enjoy the food I eat day by day. Thanks everyone for your support, encouragement, and great advice all along. I'll be hanging around!  |

| Re: It's Official. I'm at GOAL!! To a fellow early-bird (poster, that is) CONGRATULATIONS! I know you have really worked hard to reach this goal. My hat is off to you for not giving up. You have stuck with the program, detected and tweaked, and now are reaping the wonderful rewards. I must also congratulate you on your prior success with low fat! Now tell us . . . which did you like better? LOL. And THANK YOU for YOUR advice and encouragement. I am glad you'll be hanging around!

| Re: It's Official. I'm at GOAL!! Barb, congratulations!  You have truly learned what you need to know about your own metabolism. I don't doubt that you will transition to maintenance (when you get to your new goal, LOL!) with very little difficulty at all.
