Congratulations!  It's a big deal to reach your goal.  Those last 10 lbs will fight you for months.

i have lost the same 100 lbs a few times in my lifetime.  It's so difficult to get off and way too easy to gain back.

I weighed 108 lbs when I got married and fast tracked to 220 after 3 kids.  I work hard to keep my weight between 127 and 130 lbs.  I too, wear a size 10 (petite) proudly, I might add.

IMO,  a size 10 is perfect.  Enjoy your success.

The past few months have been so difficult for you.  How wonderful you must feel and look. (and I know your father is looking down and smiling)

Congratulations dear Gidget!

@gidgetgh ... Congratulations to you! Were you on a 1200 calorie a day diet, or anything specific like WW? I've grown to size 12 and can't get back down to 10. Very frustrating! Did you exercise daily? Please tell us how you did it! Thanks. Way to go!

@Yardlie- I didn't really count calories and I definitely didn't follow a specific diet.  I think we all know which foods are "good" and which aren't.  I made better choices, cut down the amount I was eating (which wasn't really my problem- I mostly made the wrong choices), increased my water intake and started walking.  It came off very slowly.

Good on you, @gidgetgh! Maintaining is hard work, too. I hope you find something that makes you happy and takes the place of the Joy of Junk Food.

It's been 4 1/2 years and I haven't veered off course yet, so I think I must be happy enough.

Well, good on you, @gidgetgh.
