I have been having a really hard time for a good chunk of 2006. My three years at goal will be here on August 23rd, and I want to be back down to my lowest weight which was 157. Right now I am flirting with having to pay, and my official goal is 164. This is not where I want to be. I am going to publicly commit to going to meetings weekly until I get this back on track. I made a mini-storyboard too. And have pictures of my rewards all over the place. First mini goal to lose 5 pounds so I am clearly under goal and don't have to be picking my meeting to weigh in free. It is really bizarre how a few pounds can really make a big difference when one is no longer morbidly obese.

Lesanne, all I can say is that you are an inspiration to all of us - especially those of us (like me) that need to lose 200 lbs or more. You're living proof that it can be with WW and I'm proud to know you through this NG.
I hope within a year from (longer if need be) that I will be worrying about the same thing you are right now - being 5 lbs under goal! That must feel so great!!!!!! 3 years at goal!!!!!!!........nice one!

Thanks Eddie. Then I have to keep it off at Disney, but that won't be hard, I traditionally lose weight on vacation because I am so hyperactive....

I totally understand what you are saying. I am at 165 this morning and my goal weight is 159. I would love to be 157 which is the weight I was when I first joined WW, Yes, but then I was 27. I will be honest and put this off a week. Next week my youngest daughter and I are going to New York for five days so I honestly will say I will begin when we get home. Again, I hope to maintain and not gain while we are on our vacation.

Audrey, you and I are right near the same numbers. My personal goal is 157, my WW is 164 and I am slightly above that today, but already doing much better. Nothing like a real effort to get one back on track.
