Congratulations Robin!!! :yay:

I want you to know how much I admire you for your patience, perserverance, and sheer sticktuitivness! Even though your body loses slowly (as you've told us) you haven't given up or gone flitting from diet to diet as so many do. I know that your one year anniversary is coming up soon, and I want to tell you that you are the person I'm most inspired by at this forum....I really mean that sincerely. How many people would keep going month after month after month with a five pound average loss each month because of a slow metabolism? VERY FEW. I don't think that I would have been as patient and tenacious as you have been! I remember when you posted your average monthly loss a little while ago, I was astounded. At the time I was discouraged because I hadn't seen a loss for a few weeks......after I read your post, I thought to myself "Well, if Robin can be so patient and consistent in sticking to MF....losing at a slower rate than I generally do, then I should be ashamed of myself for whining!" I've thought about your example many times, and it's given me the courage and inspiration to try to be more patient and settle in for the long haul. Because of you, I've made up my mind to do this no matter what...even if it takes me a looooong time to get to goal. (Now that I'm peri-menopausal and a little older than last time on MF, I am losing at a mcuh slower rate than before).....I will tell myself that if Robin can be patient and achieve such a stunning success, then I will be patient too!

Sorry this was so long and thank you! Congrats!

Thanks, you guys. And Joy, thank you so much. Your post really meant a lot to me.

Basically, I'm patient because I HAVE to be. I did my share of diet-hopping before, and it's probably one reason I'm so screwed up now. So it's either stick to the plan and crawl my way to goal, or give up and be fat and sickly. I get EXTREMELY frustrated, as you guys all know. But I'm still amazed that after all this time, I'm still losing. And as slow as it is, it hasn't really slowed down any MORE as I've gotten closer to goal.

But I AM a little depressed thinking it could take me three MORE months to reach goal. Geez.

Mazel tov, Robin! I am so psyched for you, and as Joy so eloquently stated, your losses carry extra weight (uh, pardon the pun!), because of how hard you work for every pound.

I am thrilled for you, and can't wait to be swapping stories when we both end up in the maintenance section - whenever that may be...

You rock!
