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.

You accomplished what most people can't....you are fierce girl!

I am so with youi.  You have given me some reason to keep going.  I hit my set point, plateau so often that I keep giving up and trying again.  I am on a roll but have hit another hold point and I just cannot seem to go under it for weeks and THEN.  So congrats you are an inspiration.  

In my case I am 5 feet, need 20 more pounds to lose and it is so hard to do.  I wear a 12 but if the weight were to come off, probably a 6-8.  

My weakness is ice cream and or dessert.  I have never been a big eater.  You could say I am a sugar addict and it makes me hungry for food in general.  Snacks mostly....

How did you lose the weight.... diet, what kind?  exercise  what kind?

@gidgetgh  To have lost that much weight you are more than svelte, a mere size 10/12 says it all.  Congratulations to you for your (maybe years worth of) stick-to-it-tiveness.

And as you said, no running out to the ice cream shop to praise yourself.  Easy peasey just go to your kitchen and grab a big old red juicy apple and enjoy how much it tastes.
