I have been doing Core online only for more than six months. Now that I am approaching goal ("only" 12 more pounds) I think it might be cool to earn lifetime status. So tomorrow, I'm going to go to a meeting and join.
Here's the defining moment: I ordered pizza for DS and all his teenage monkey friends. They also had Cheetos and barbecue potato chips. I have not seriously thought about any of these foods for more than six months, but for some reason tonight they were getting to me. I actually thought: "Tomorrow I am starting over by going to a meeting. Maybe tonight I can just pig out on these old favorites."
Then I cut myself a huge slice of watermelon. When it was gone, I got away from the kitchen, brushed my teeth, and visited the message boards for distraction!

Could you actually see the little devil on one shoulder and the little angel on the other?
How much have you lost so far? I'm starting to feel as if the pitch is getting steeper as I go on. My weight loss hasn't slowed down or anything, but it is as if the pounds I've lost are somehow dragging behind me, and a whiny voice inside me is saying "I still have to lose another x pounds? But I've already lost xxx! It's not fair!" Which is kind of funny, because I don't really care about how long it takes to get to goal and I'm very sure I'll keep losing. Maybe it's the ticker, makes me feel like I have a tail.
I hope you get a great leader. Enjoy the meetings.

Sarpon, your stats are terrific! Be proud of that tail!
Coco, that truly WAS a defining moment - didn't you feel great, being in control of your feelings at that moment?! WTG, I say!
