Hi! New to the group and back on my program. I lost about 60 lbs in 2016, then gained back about 1/2 in 2017. Time to take it the rest of the way. My doctor told me look at the positive- I'm still less than I was when I started! I'm at 240 right now. Whenever I've lost, I never gain back all of it. I was 300 at my largest, dropped down to 265 then went back upto 280 and stayed there for a couple of years. 2016 I was down to 220 then back up to 250 and stayed there a year. So, I know I can lose it, and I can stay where I need to be. I just have to DO IT!
Anyone in the New Orleans area?

Do it soon, it only gets harder as you get older. Metabolism slows down, along with everything else except how fast you need to make it to the toilet when the urge hits. Anyway, as a lifelong dieter, I can attest that it is harder to lose at 67 than it was at 37 or even 47. I'm fact I had kind of given up dietIng the last 15 years or so, other than a few half-hearted efforts. Figured I'd just enjoy old age.
Last year a health scare finally got me going. Lost 30 lbs over 6 months, then hit the holidays. I've managed to maintain but have not managed to get myself started again on losing the rest that I want to.
Good luck and welcome to the group, from Kansas!

Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.
Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
