You can do it, Lonnie! I didn’t have a woosh today, was saving it for you. So I’m sending it your way! 💖 

That's awfully sweet of you, newname! I could use a whoosh right now! 🐷 

Not the least concerned for you! You've got this easily!!!  

I love that you give yourself a break every once in awhile, and then get right back on track. 

Sometimes life derails you that’s OK as long as you know when To get back on track !!!! you got this!!!! 

😘@Melissa! 

I call them my reward days, larilyn. They're my favorite! I never thought I'd reach my goal weight, but I did, and I'm determined to stay here. On my reward days, I relax the diet rules. I start enforcing the rules again when the scale goes up to a certain point. It's almost like having my cake and eating it too. 

You’ve definitely earned some reward days!!! Lol!!! 😃 

Thanks, jnuko! I like to stay 10 pounds under my goal weight, just to be sure I'm far enough away from it that I'll never go over it again. I call it my buffer. When I start chipping away at my buffer, I jump back on track. 

you will be right back at it! I like the idea of 10 pounds under goal, the buffer....! happy you enjoyed yourself! 

Thanks, Todd! I really look forward to them, and think ahead of time about what I want for my next reward day.  

I like the buffer rule 

Thanks, Marie! I really did enjoy it, and I've been able to get back on track. I've been thinking about my next reward day though. 🙂 

I started maintenance June 1st of this year, jnuko, and have been using the buffer rule since then. So far it's worked really well for me. 

You got this!! Your buffer is smart way to do this. Have a great week!!😊🌈👍 

You got this thats easy for you 

Thank you, damablack13! Have a great week yourself! 

Thanks for your encouragement, mountainman. I wouldn't say it's easy for me though. Dieting has honestly been the hardest thing I've ever done. Quitting smoking was easier than dieting. I think I finally have a grasp on it though, and I'm determined not to fail again. Your encouragement definitely helps me stay in check, so thanks again. 🙂 

Think about it this way you have defeated a battle on two fronts you quit smoking and lost weight. both are the best things you could have done for yourself.A lot of leople give up and give in to things like that. it takes a lot and i think people don't give themselves enough credit where credit is due 

Thank you, mountainman. I like that! I'm a warrior when you put it that way! 🙂
