Stocking the fridge with all sorts of quick and healthy things so there are less chances for excuses.
Here goes!
Hey! Its nice to see a familiar face here. The post you wrote almost describes my experience verbatim I was in this thread back in the middle of June, eagerly awaiting my jump to the 230s and 240s! Well, I made it into the 240s.... I even got down as low as 243 I think. But then ever since then I have been bouncing around between 252 and 257. Then last week I saw the number "6" appear in that middle digit! I knew in the back of my head that if that ever happened, I would have to take action. So, I am now getting back to basics. I have been pretty good these past several months, but not quite as diligent as I had been. Fortunately, for the most part, I was maintaining. So I now know what it is going to take. And it was a bit disheartening to realize that it still took a LOT of effort to maintain! I knew maintaining would be hard, but I didn't realize HOW hard it was going to be. Basically, there will be no going back to any semblance of how I used to eat... for me at least.
After getting back to basics, I quickly took off about 10 pounds. I went from being 260+ to the range of 248 to 250. I would like to finally move out of the 250s for good....and then get through the 240s. Its weird, I got through the 260s and 270s in a flash, but the 240s and 250s are killing me!
