losing weight at more than 18 months out

Yup, I'm living proof you can continue to lose - just depends on if you're willing to do the work for it :)

I'm also living proof that you can gain if you don't pay attention. LOL! xoxoxo

Candy, you are a freaking pound away from your revised goal? OMG! OMG!

Right? LOL! It took me 2 months to lose 1 pound so it might be this Winter before I see the actual goal. I've been sliding into maintenance and figuring that part out while playing with it. Part of it is mental, but I feel good about how I've done it.

I hope you actually mean you feel elated about what you've done.  You're such a freaking rockstar!  I can't even tell you how immensely inspiring you are.  And awesome and hot.  Can't forget those!

I think the single most important thing I've gotten from this site is the red line.  It is what gives me some measure of confidence with maintenance looming ahead (if I can ever lose these ten pounds, hahaha).  I love that it's such a simple little thing.  5 pounds then weight loss mode.  It's powerful but so elegant.  Just have to NOT put my head in the sand. 

Great job and what a great roll model :)

I have been there and done that many a times as well.  I still can't get over how much control we have.  I too, went a bit overboard over the 4th weekend.  I came home right at my red line, and as of today I've lost 3 glorious pounds.  That puts me square into my "happy weight"!  All in 4 days!
