You have approximately 40 more pounds to lose until you reach 100, right? You can do this! I urge you to get a Fitbit if you don't have one already and ramp up the exercise and start recording your food again. It WORKS. Thank you for the immense inspiration that you are to so many of us. Do you think that none of us have regained and lost some of our weight? It's a daily struggle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-19583465729447638552016-06-06T12:27:23.634-04:002016-06-06T12:27:23.634-04:00I gained about 50 -60 pounds back from my lowest a...I gained about 50 -60 pounds back from my lowest and I attribute it a couple different things.<br /><br />1. I didn't reset my habits...The bad habits were still lurking deep!<br />2. I didn't set myself up for a lifelong activity that would keep me very active! I exercised a bit to lose and then pretty much stopped when I arrived!! I am working to find exercise and activity that I love!!<br />3. Arriving at the coveted weights and saying 'I've arrived..the journey is over. The journey will NEVER be over. There were reasons that made me so overweight in the first place and just because I lost the weight doesn't mean that those reasons disappeared...it was willpower that made me override those reasons for a while!!!<br /><br />That said...I didn't appreciate the weight loss the first time...I was still unhappy and striving for 'more'. Lower numbers (I never made it to my bmi weight...I made it to where my doctor was happy....but I wasn't happy). I think I needed to backtrack so I could see how awesome that lower weight really was and to realize that it's not a number that's important! It's my health!! My activity levels...my future!!!!<br />MaryFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507347923712459651noreply@blogger.com
