Glad you posted the pics. You look fantastic! And a special congratulation on maintaining your weight since August!!! You're an inspiration and if I start to hit any traps, I'm coming to you for advice! Once you got to goal, what did you add back to your diet to stop losing but not gain any back?

Hey Rogofulm!! Actually it was a little tricky, but I slowly found a happy medium...along with my workouts which of course I plan to keep up with as a lifestyle change, I added about 150 - 200 Protein calories a day to my diet, and checked my weight on a weekly basis. Be sure to give yourself a 5lb cushion around your goal weight, because it may fluctuate based on Water intake and muscle development. Within a few weeks, I pushed my personal target calorie rate to about 1850 a day, but I almost never come within 100 calories of it...at this rate, I'm staying pretty even, and feeling pretty good, even though I'm pushing myself at the gym. Also as I was told by my nutritionist, try to even out the cardio with the weights...too much cardio will burn off any fuel you want to use for muscle gain...if you're going that route.

Hope I helped!!! And congrats to you as well, my man!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
