Wow. I just notices that no one has posted here since July! I thought I'd drop by and give a small update. I still weigh 178 so no change there. I must have hit my floor because I have been around this weight for over a year so I don't really think I am going to get much thinner. That's OK because i am in my 50's so I guess a little padding is a good thing. Drop by and share how your weight is going. Gain or loss, makes no difference. Just share. Look forward to hearing from you guys. We are all in this together!

I'm down 7lbs! LOL I am hoping that my metabolism has straightened itself out from quitting smoking in April 2009!

Yes, Inuit, I quit smoking 3 days before my son's 6th birthday...and managed through the party with a houseful of kids without having a smoke. I made a game of it to see how long I could go without having one, and haven't had one since. I couldn't even dream of going back to it, although at some points of my struggle to lose weight I was tempted, but not by cravings - just because I knew if I started again I would lose weight as cigarettes have a 'metabolism booster'.

I can no longer stand the smell of it. My boyfriends smokes - and I just wish he would quit...yuck!

I gained about 20lbs, even eating healthy AND working out 1hr+ daily. So, about a month ago, I was up to 160, last weeks weigh in I was 153.

Just still calorie counting and exercising. I find it alot easier to maintain now. Although, dont get me wrong. I have had my ups and downs since losing.. but I am confident I will always be able to keep it under control now.

I dont feel much different actually. Obviously, things are easier.. but i am more self conscious now than i ever was before.

People are just never happy with themselves.
