Nova, you look wonderful!
You'll be fine through both transition & into maintenance. Keep your wits about you and remember how nice it feels to wear fitted clothing.
Great work, you should be so very proud of your accomplishment, I know we are!

NOVA!

You look amazing! Such a change!
Don't worry about transition/maintenance. It will all fall into place.
Check out the Medifast transition plan and soon you will be flowing easily into maintenance.
It truly is a lot of fun to choose the extra foods you are allowed---like having a party!
Yes, exercise is important and it is so worth it.
When I am tempted to overeat, I try to ask myself "Do I want to stay thin like I am, or go back to fat like I was before?"
The answer is a no-brainer!

Congratulations on your great accomplishment and new beauty!

Hi, Nova, what a difference !! You look fabulous.

I have been feeling munchy this evening and so I decided to come have a gander at the forum and studio instead of munching and what an inspiration to stay on track it is to see photos of success like yours !! Thanks for sharing.

ps -- I love your signature, it's such a good question.

Thank you for all the wonderful compliments. It really helps me stay on course. I feel like I've come this far, and I can't afford to slip up and go backwards. Hearing all the good things keeps me motivated when I'm feeling a little weak. I know I'll always have a weakness for bad foods, and navigating maintenance is going to be tricky at first.

Bookmark this post, and always remember to check it when you have those feelings. You will do great, just remember what caused it and remember that even if you don't make wise choices at a meal today, get back on your maintenance plan for your next meal.

I can't believe I missed your post. You look so awesome and I loved your comments about being in denial over the baggy shorts in the before pic. Every time I see an old picture of myself, I'm like, "holy crap, I thought I looked good that day!"

Congratulations on your enormous success!!
