I have kept the weight off for one year since reaching my goal last April 23, 2003. Who else has maintained successfully for a year (or more)? I'm sure there are a lot of us.

I met my goal (under 115 lbs) in April 1999. I pretty much stayed the same weight since. I kept my vow to eat right, always excerise. I walk to work....a mile and half walk uphill evey day. Going back is easy....downhill. LOL! That helps so much Yes, I eat starches now. I just watch myself. I guess I will always stay in Ketosis. I burn fat instead of carbs. You pretty much will stay that way. Your attitude should always be never looking or going back.

Year and a half... and counting!

Wow Congrats to all of you !!!!

I'm coming up soon, at 7 months so far
Bang on 135 this morning

congrats!

ive been on decent weight (lighter) since march 03 and was on maintenance ever since and 2004 has been a good year for me on top of my usual maintenance regime - i lost few more on LC and started BFL

to others keep going!

I hit 165, my original goal, over a year ago. Gained a bit at Christmas but took it all off with no problems.

I'm over 2 years at my goal now. I don't weigh in every day anymore of course, but when I do get on the scale I'm never disappointed. I fluctuate, but stay in my goal range. So much for "fad diets" and "gaining it all back".

Hey thats awesome!!!

I'm coming up to my one year very soon, Yes it's a fad!!! A lifetime FAd !!!

Cheers Kathy

Congrats to all of you! I've been maintaining for about 3 months now...

You guys are great motivation and inspiration. Congrats!

Hi

Yesterday was my six month anniversary of obtaining my goal, and staying (as the doc suggested) within 5 lbs of that goal.

Congratulations! You should stay withing you goal range from now on

I reached my goal weight (140 lbs the weight I kept most of my adult life) last September. Was maintaining it (137 lbs - 140 lbs) up to June 20. Since, as a side effect of a new runner performance booster diet (I mean real food diet, not supplements), I have been loosing weight, inches. So I do not know, if I was a successful maintainer for ten months or a big time staller, being after a ten-month stall, and still lbs away from my "final" weight.

I reached my goal weight just over a year ago, but didn't feel satisfied with my size until Sept-Oct when I was exercising a lot. So I'm "sort of" in the One Year Club

Wow! I just realized it was a year ago July that I hit my goal! Cool! Haven't had a minute of food cravings since then. I eat potatoes, etc. occasionally but lots of days go by when I eat pretty much induction style food. I did have my first ear of corn in 15 months the other day! But didn't feel like I needed to have three ears to feel satisfied! Great topic, we should all feel good about ourselves!
