Congratulations, bluesinger. I imagine it must feel really good to have finally gotten to this point after such a long and winding road.

Enjoy the moment, and good luck to you in the years ahead.

Thought I'd stop by and post my goings on - Maintaining.

It's just not that simple, is it? Somebody posted elsewhere on the forum wanting to know where all those in maintenance are. There are lots of us here, just have our heads down, noses to the LC grindstone.

I'm still at it. Some days are harder than others, but every day without carbage is a good one.

I have no words of wisdom to offer.

Just do it!

Thank you, Glenda, and congrats. It's nice to have company and support in maintaining. Some days I feel myself slipping, but hearing from you and others from time to time encourages me and helps keep me on track.

Best of everything.

Yes, Glenda, we are here! Maintenance is a fuzzy "goal," but the effort to hold onto the good results of LC eating is endless. One might say relentless.

That's why I'm grateful for this forum. And you.

Congrats on hitting goal. I have been working on maintaining since the end of last july. I still write in my journal everyday and visit here often to stay motivated. Going back to what I did before was how I got into trouble so I am learning a new way.

Still holding on by the skin of my teeth. The quicksand of maintenance is human nature. We want to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the boundaries. "How much can I get away with today?" Or is it just me who's like a small child when it comes to food?

We're getting to the season here in the desert when walking is a stress test, even though I do it before dawn. Two reasons I walk between 4-5am.
1. I'm alone with the bowl of sprinkled black velvet sky.
2. In summer when it's still 90F at 4, I'm more likely to walk than stay home.

May be time to go back to the lap pool.

Is it a good sign that I passed my first year anniversary in maintenance without noticing?

Over the first Holiday Hurdle I managed to remain in control of carbs, not the reverse. Also missed this Forum much.

Server Down!

I really depend upon this place for accountability and support.

Grateful today for Low-Carber Forums and my fellow soldiers here.

Congratulations on your one-year maintenance anniversary! I just passed mine recently. It does get lonely around here. Glad you chimed in.
