    Hey, how nice to hear from you!! I'm still hanging in here, at the upper end of my new lower maintenance range and vigilantly yanking my leash: and could be doing more exercise but staying pretty fit!!

    Congrats to you on your running and sticking with it!! It gives you a lot of pleasure and keeps you fit for sure. I loved running but unfortunately ground out those hips and knees -- so its XC ski in the winter, golf in the summer, elliptical at the gym all year round.

    SIX marathons -- and just getting better and better! Good for you. You've gotta be totally fit.

    And as for the weight -- not holding you back, is it?

    Great to hear from you!!

    We're two of the survivors from our "week" of entry back in May 2011.

    I'm keeping on keeping on: maintenance is tough, but I yank my leash and get myself back within range as required -- quite often it's been the www.fatlosers.com program with Steve Siebold, and right now I'm putting myself through the Dr. Judith S. Beck "The Beck Diet Solution: training your brain to think like a thin person" 6 week series.

    If you haven't tried these -- I'd say they are worth a try?? Siebold is totally "in your face" and not everybody's cup of tea, but works for me. And Beck is all about cognitive behaviour therapy, the "between the ears" stuff: just hugely important.

    (Hey, sorry -- I though you had posted on my page . . . but maybe not, can't see it now -- saying you were having trouble staying within weight range. So the above may be an unneeded/unwanted suggestion!! But hello anyhow. )
