Update: Entering maintenance!

  • Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a quick update since I haven't been posting as much in recent weeks (crazy work schedule that's now calmed down )

    Anyway, as of today I consider myself to be in maintenance. I've lost 110 pounds, bringing me to my goal of 145. I'm planning on slowly raising my calories starting monday until I settle somewhere between 140 and 145. I'm happy with myself because when I woke up this morning and I was at goal, I did my usual saturday routine of working out first thing in the morning, and then having 1.5 servings of fiber one. I didn't let myself "off the hook" and I guess that's my nsv for the day.

    I'll make an official "goal" picture update thread within the next few days/weeks but I just wanted to come here and let everyone know about my progress because you all have helped me SO much through my journey. I don't think there was one day that I didn't read/look at this site. I'm inspired by all of you guys and I just wanted to say thank you!

    YAY! I'm at goal!!
  • You have done such an awesome thing for yourself!!! Congrats on making it to your goal!

  • Wow, stellar work! Congratulations! I'm totally in awe of your consistency in weight loss since I've been on this site (January). I seem to be stalling out around 170--I know it's my attitude and I don't know what to do to change it and keep the motivation up. 110 pounds in nine and a half months is incredible. You certainly earned it!
