I'm still maintaining my initial loss!

I just wanted to post these pics as a source of inspiration to keep working to maintain your loss once you hit goal or get reeeeaaaly close. I had a set back earlier this Spring when I got hurt doing Yoga.
I went back up to a size 12 but I fought back to my size 7/8's.
If you find yourself having gained back some or all of your weight, go back to basics IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT settle for the weight. All the best to everyone.

You look great... I totally agree.. .getting there is just part of the work, staying there is the real deal! I had lost 99 pounds before and gained 100 back (of course with the help of 2 pregnancies in 22 months apart, but still) ... so now I'm redoing the whole thing again and it is hard not to get myself down sometimes, but if not... I'll be back again.

Thanks so much everyone. I always thought that losing the weight was the hard part but it has been maintenance that is the killer! I must also give praise to ADBB because this site has really, and continues to, help me in so many ways!
The challenges, the recipes, and camaraderie in general. I simply cannot be a successful Atkineer as a loner.
You all RAWCK!!

You look so amazing! Well done for taking it off and even more for battling through a "hiccough" and keeping it off.
