Susan -

You are doing great!! Comparison pictures really can help you stay/return to a motivated state. Yours look really great. I'm seeing progress!!! (Wahoo, it's great to find your waist, isn't it.) I also notice you are wearing a more fitted style of clothes and it really shows your shape coming through. Isn't it great to finally get out of the "tent thing" we do with overblouses, jumpers, huge t-shirts, etc??

Even though we have both had a few hard weeks, we're still here, we're in better shape, we're more healthy, and we're MAKING IT.

Keep your chin up and those shakes a-chuggin'.

NO - you did not leave feeling good, you left feeling like a million dollars. She noticed, talked you up, told you over and over, ranted and raved about SUSAN, and how wonderful SUSAN looked, you felt WONDERFUL, and wanted her to keep talking about SUSAN - because SUSAN lost 61 pounds, and SUSAN looked and felt wonderful.

Am I wrong?

It is EUPHORIC!

C-O-M-P-L-A-C-E-N-C-Y! That’s it pure and simple. This is one guy’s view that has lost a ton of weight, however weighing in at 223; he thinks he should weigh about 210. Hey what’s 13 more pounds? I got complacent. I look HOT, I look great, and everyone says how wonderful I look. I feel good, my clothes fit better than they have, ever in my life. No one realizes I am still fighting 13 pounds. I think I need to lose that 13 remaining pounds. Why can’t I do it? I gave up and got lazy. Don’t read this the wrong way, I will never EVER forget where I came from, I lost 110++ pounds and have never gained it back. I have seen upwards of 8 pounds gain from my 113 loss (at 223) this morning, I am back down to 227 even. I am only 3.6# over my original stopping point, but why didn’t I finish? Or did I finish? Because everyone said how great I looked, I got lazy. I still take Medifast on a regular basis, because I believe in it, I know it’s a no brain-er. It’s an easy meal, no thought. I know I am taking in nothing that will cause me to gain; I shake and sip eyes closed. B-U-T-T-T-T-T-T why did I give up at that 13 pound doorway?

If you can answer it, I am all ears. I think its complacency, just as yours is. Why don’t I just buckle down for 2-3 weeks for the remainder of my life and lose the 13 (17 this morning) remaining pounds? I think I got lazy, I cot complacent, which we can’t allow to happen. Do I really need to lose the remaining 13-17 pounds? Probably not, in the general scheme of things, but its what I feel. But wait, I feel good.

How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie center? The world may never know.

S-I-G-H.

Mike,

I think you're absolutely right. I can feel complacency seeping in already even though I still have quite a way to go to get to goal. I can imagine that it's even harder once you're THERE. I think it's really something we need to guard against as it is what helped get us to out starting points. You know - 5 or 10 pounds is no big deal, can lose it any time, etc. I feel like I will always need constant accountability to the scale and a real focus on nipping issues in the bud before they become large ones.

Thanks Mike,
I know you are right about this and I will just try harder . I;ll let you know how i came out later. I know I let myself do this so I just got to be the boss over my stomach and stay on tract .
