Ok so my 1 year is in 2 weeks and I am 30 pounds from my goal and somehow I am ok with that. I am so thankful to each of you for your honesty as it tells me that I am still successful. I am also thrilled that I see many of you from other forums and your name's are familiar to me. I have not lost anything in the last 2 months and again I am ok with that. I am going to try the 5:2 method and keep sticking to my guns. I have found that reading these posts help me and actually I haven't read any in two months and haven't lost any weight so I believe that reading this forum daily helps me more than I knew. HONESTY is going to be my key to success and i hope to stay honest with myself to lose 30 more and maintain. It actually feels great not losing as I haven't gained either so maybe this is a final stand via a long plateau. I am so happy to be a part of this community.

You are a success look what you have accomplished. Love what you said about honesty. It really hits home with me. Congratulations and happy one year anniversary..

Thanks Jenn1 I do feel like a success and will strive to continue my journey as I walk into year 2 of a great decision. I feel hopeful that in year 2 I will lose the last 30 and be at goal. ????

You are a success!!!! Congratulations!!!! In the past year (since reaching my first goal that I randomly set), I felt like the losing was slow going. But I just reached my "dream goal" and I looked back over the last year and was surprised to see I had lost an additional 19 pounds and 22 inches!!! So even when it feels like it has completely slowed, stick with it. I think you'll be surprised at your results. :-)
