I've somehow lost a few pounds as well. But my weight has remained almost constant for the last 10 years. I was very slim unti I got married. Even then, for the first little while, I was able to keep it down. But every time my wife got pregnant (4 times), I got bigger. I call it sympathy growth. After 4 kids and learning how to cook whatever I might possibly desire, I topped out at about 60 lbs beyond my ideal weight. And no matter how hard I've exercised, or for how long, it just won't go away! Now add to that the cullinary expertise available on DC to fill in the knowledge gaps that I have, and the future of weight loss looks bleak indeed.
But I at least make healthy meals, as far as my knowledge will allow. And I have remained very active. But that weight is soooo stuborn. I sometimes wish I wasn't so passionate about food. But then I remember how much I like to create new recipes, and impress family members, and savor the flavors and the passion returns. Heavy sigh.
I know and feel what each and every one of you feels.
