Well hello again!! If you don't remember I did induction way back in November last year.. Well i did so good i decided i could eat whatever i wanted.. well subconsciously thats what was in my mind.. and I'm back to where i started..kinda..

I started the new year at 207lbs.. uhg.. here we go again, I hate this part.. getting started.. In fact that will probably be my motivation to keep going cuz i hate starting over!

So I didn't exactly start on Jan.1 I actually don't know the actual day.. It started off slow. I knew what I needed to eat and what not to eat and now finally I'm in. I'm working out as much as possible and eating right always!! According to Induction that is.. Which I plan on doing until I get down past 180! I always plateau there. So I've gone from 207 to 201 in about a week I think. I weigh myself every so often but I really haven't been tracking myself. I took more pictures yesterday and hopefully a month from now Ill have new pictures to compare to.

So just wanted to say hi again to you all!

the diet i think is easy! it's just a matter of doing it for a long period of time.. I don't know about you but any diet that allows bacon is something I can stick with. I've been going to school fulltime and working part time and I've still been able to do it! It doesn't take a lot of thinking. No counting or measuring, just eating this not that... I do love a good mcflurrie.. just not enough to stay at 200lbs

Hi Jessica,

I've started over on diets more times than I can count, but I think the key is keeping the goal in mind (losing weight, not necessarily a specific number goal).

I've found in the past that 185 or so is a stall number for me, I think both physically & mentally. In the 180s we look pretty good and can shop in the "normal" stores again -- so it can be comfortable to hang out there.
