Hello!

It's been months since I last checked in, still in a size 6 jean and weight hasn't changed in over 8 months. Perhaps this is the weight and size I'm meant to be. I've come a long way, at the start of my journey I weighed 233 and wore a size 18/20. I still exercise (average 2-3 days a week for approx a hour), I eat small meals (thanks to my band). I'd love to lose an additional 10 pounds and have in the past increased exercise, changed eating to reduce calories and when that didn't work, I tried shaking it up with increasing calories.

I'm done fixating on the scale (the illusive 10 pounds loss) and will go with the flow as it appears my body is in maintaining my current size and weight. To Celebrate my new content attitude, I've made an appointment to have cherry blossom branches tattooed on my hip - yes, this 50 year old taking the leap to have additional tatts done.

I have a funny... I work as a manager of a public charter school (career change after losing my job last year), at any rate, I had a very sexy grandpa (all the staff refers to him as sexy grandpa) pull me aside and say that he had a thing for me. Well, I'm happily married and would NEVER delve into that but found it very flattering that sexy grandpa found this grandma attractive.

Once my new tatts are done, I plan to post pics of the new me.

Wishing you all contiued success.

OMG! I love this post! Thanks for popping back in. I am pretty much at the same place and loving it as well.

Yay! So happy for you!

Wow! congrats on the size 6. And your maintainance!! I dont think my body would like that size. lol I am struggling to get my last 15. I think my body likes it wear it is, but this is the size I was at for a very long time when I was younger, so I think it just is confused with what my head wants. My body and head need to talk to each other more!!

congrats to u!

Cherish, good to see you! Thanks for popping in! I think size 6 says you don't need to worry about those pesky 10 lbs! My opinion of course.

Put a fork in you can call you done!

Congrats on all your hard work paying off. Stick around, it's nice to see some other "old timers" who are doing well hanging out.

OMG you have just made me feel old!

I am 49 and if a sexy Grandpa found me sexy I would be seriously unnerved. I think I would want to run in the opposite direction. Now if it was a sexy toyboy that would be cool. Maybe I need to face up to how old I REALLY am!

Sounds like you've done a fantastic job!!!!

good for you I love to hear success stories, gives me hope that this is the last time Ifight this "weight thing". Love the grandpa story! What a nice complement. Thanks for not acting on it.

I am "older" and I plan to get my first tattoo as a special reward too. I have been wanting to do this for years!

I agree with others size 6 is purrrfect!

Good to see you, Cherish! And woohoo on the tattoo! I can't wait to see a pic! You are a sexy grandma, so why wouldn't sexy grandpa find you attractive? Lol!
