Good job! 

Wonderful 

Wow - what the heck!! Well happy Thursday!👍👏👏👏 

Thanks, everybody! I so appreciate your support. 😊 

nice lonnie!! 

It definitely seems harder getting back to my happy zone since the weather has been cooler, Shir. You may be on to something. Although I've remained pretty active, I'm not perspiring as much as I was last summer, so maybe that has something to do with it. What's been working for me when trying to get back to my happy zone is to go back on my diet just exactly like I was when I lost 75 pounds last year. I eat to lose weight. When in diet mode I get about 1,200 calories per day on average. My diet is based on the recommended intake for how much of each nutrient (sodium, cholesterol, protein, etc.) a person should have in a day, so depending on what I have that day, I may get a little more or less to eat. Once I'm back in my zone, I relax some of my diet rules. With the exception of an occasional treat, I basically eat the same foods as when I'm in diet mode, just a little more. I've been able to maintain that way since June 1st. 

Oops! I think Shir deleted her question while I was answering it. 🙂 

Awesome 

Great job Lonnie knew you could do it wooo 😊💪 

It was me Lonnie 😀 I was asking how you went about it to compare what I've been doing. My cushion is smaller than yours. Some days I eat a little more. When I want to be more careful I eat at or slightly below my allowed 1800 calories. That seems to be working OK so far. Lucky you...you're not dealing with the Winter cold, so you're still able to be out a lot.  

Nice drop!!! 

Good for you - I knew you would come back 

Yay!! 

Awesome drop! 

Oh! Sorry, Sherrye! I'm not sure why I thought it was Shir that asked. You seem to be doing very well, Sherrye, and your cooking looks amazing! 

Can't wait 2b @maintenance. Haven't been there since the last time when I just let it go in late 2007 after remarrying. We just ate whatever we wanted w/o a care in the world bc we are so happy together. Now, we see what we've done to ourselves being so happy together. lol 100 lbs each l8r.... :-\ 

the King of Maintenance! 

Nice🍀 

I really identify, Slow Meta. After Kevin and I first met, the same thing happened to us. We both got fat from the joy. All along I thought I was the one that caused Kevin to be fat, because I had a tendency even before we met. Now that I'm in maintenance and watching him, I wonder if we didn't share the blame more than I thought.
