Looks like I'm averaging about 132.5#...2.5# under goal...
Keep the faith all

Hi Lizabette ...
I think it's marvelous how you've maintained your weight loss --and how your body (and ours) mysteriously "knows" what our true healthy weight is! You've certainly taken the fear out of maintaining for me. Thanks!

[Lizabette]

MARY, I truly know what you mean about the fear of maintaining...because I had failed at it so often, myself.
I'm so glad that my success with maintaining is helping someone else to also know that it is a definite possibility!
I'm actually amazed myself...how could I have stayed within two or three pounds under goal for a whole year?
I'm convinced it takes the same commitment and determination that it takes in the weight loss phase.
Some feel it is harder because we must now make our own food choices and decisions, and it is true with me.
If we ever give up on that, well then...you know.
Thanks for coming by,MARY. Let us know the second you get to goal! WHOHOO!!!

You will be the first I tell, Lizabette!

BTW, at what point do I get a Maintaining medallion? ... when I reach goal or after transition?

Have a great day!

'Mornin', MARY,
In my opinion, the second you reach goal you are beginning to maintain.
You can copy the medallion from ROBIN's post or I'll ship it to you when you say the word!
Going to water aerobics and weight machines at Y this morning, but I'll check back in when I'm back about noon.

In December, it's the BIG 78 for me! Sure glad I don't feel that old. 'cept this morning, like that picture!

NO WAY! You look like a spring chicken! A thinny spring chicken ta-boot!

[Lizabette]

Thanks, MICK, my girl,
If age is a state of mind, then I'll be a thinny spring chicken long as I can.
I did the weight machine orientation at the Y this morning and I'm feeling a twinge here and there.
The water aerobics was fast paced and really worked us over.
My plan is to do a fast walking tape (1-2 miles)on the days between going to the Y.
I was doing the 4 mile tape before our move interfered with my regular scheduled exercise, and will try to work back up to that.
I'm thinking that 'at my age' if I continue to do as I plan, I'll be springy enough, don't you think?

Day's getting cooler and chances of rain. All quiet here.
I'll get in a walk tape, if possible, and a few other chores....

good morning miss Liz,
Thinking about you this week in Arkansas.
The 'Little Rock 9" of course has been on my mind as well.
Last year on a Sunday, my friend and I drove over to Central and just sat on the steps, pretty powerful time. And the restored gas station/museum is very nice.
any who, have a great day.
hugs,

Thanks, MARY. CONGRATULATIONS, and a big red rose for your celebration!
And you got your medallion already. WHOOHOO! Nobody deserves it any more than you do. What an inspiration you are!
I am so happy, happy, happy for you, my dear!

Ernestine is my friend in water aerobics class, but she and my DH have a thing going.
She's cute and perky as can be. Well, I tell her that her boyfriend (my DH) can't be at the Y cus he's sick.
She just sweetly smiles, and continues her workout. I ask her... " by the way, how old are you?".
87!
So I tell her I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Today, I did my at-home 2 mile-tape and it felt great to be back into the E-groove again.
Tomorry I'll go 30 minutes early and do the weight machines before doing the water aerobics. 'Sides, the trainer is kinda cute.
One has to look out for oneself...doesn't one?

[holberry]

ohhh my, would you please tell her she is in my heart.

I read where she did not like talking about that time, who can blame her!
so, just give her a litlle hug for me.
loves,
h

HOL, you are just the cutest! I was so excited about MARY hitting goal, that I plumb missed your post...and almost missed your last one.
Goes to show you....
Glad you visit our little town once in a while. We have quite a history...you know the gangster days of Al Capone, the bad old prohibition days , former President's home town, the Little Rock 9, lots of stuff.
Now, we're just a quaint lovely little town...but it's growing a little faster than I'd like.
I still love it here, tho'.
Thanks for coming by an absent minded one-year maintainer's journal!
