Susanna, it has not been easy and I know that the weight loss will eventually slow down and that is when it will be tough to remain on tract. I was almost at my goal weight 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and had to have my thyroid removed. The Endocrinologist told me at my first appointment that I would probably gain weight and unfortunately for me, he was right. I am thankful I don't have to loose as much as I did 4 years ago but I have gained about 44 pounds. When I decided that I was tired of being overweight 4 years ago, I had 101 pounds to loose. I am glad I found this thread and this weight loss challenge. It's nice to know that I am not alone and that there are others facing the same daily challenges as I am. I love the support system. Now, I just have to continue to be in control and not bend.
