Whew that was a tough lb to lose. 174 today. 4 more and I'm there! I have been thinking about "what's Next". I mean I am really about to be there!!!! Im not sure what it's like to not have weight to lose, to have conquered this life long nemesis. I feel rocky music queuing up.....

congrats! that is terrific! :Banane55:

Pasquini,

Congrats! Less than 5 lbs. to goal!

After you get to goal, what do you plan to change to enter maintenance and stop losing? I've got 15 plus a few ounces to go to goal, but I've been thinking about how I'll do maintenance quite a bit lately. When I'm not obsessing about not losing the last 15 :-)

I'm really not sure, I pretty much eat normal now, except I watch my carbs. I can increase my carbs but not to the detriment of protein intake. I have been trying to figure that one out. Guess I will be spending some time on the maintanance threads.

That is such an awesome accomplishment! I am pushing the last 18 pounds myself.

Rooting for you!!!

Deb

Congrats!

WAY TO GO!

Congrats

It is such an amazing feeling!! and terrifying one too. Though it has always been my dreams but I think the same like you, who is gonna be there for me to defeat? should my life start revolving about something else other than beating pounds and gaining my health?

It is so scary for me, I know maintenance wont be easy but We will get used to it one day or another, and then what? lol I think I have developed so many passion toward sports and life, I will start to conquer those and may be the next thread we will be asking , where are we now?

Best of luck to u and everyone!!

congratulations Pasquini! 4 to go that is fantastic, my friend.

I think maintanence will not be so hard, (not there yet so what do I know) You will be fine, you are determined to get there and stay there. Just keep doing what you are doing while upping your calories just a bit.

My theory is that those who lose fast have a harder time with maintaining because their bodies haven't cought up to the trauma, but those who lose slow have an easier time because their bodies have had a chance to regulate somewhat and are used to what we are putting it through. Again just a threory.

Can you attach audio to here? LOL I would love to hear the Rocky music when reading your goal thread hahhahah.

I'm actually more concerned about not losing to much rather than regain. At least right now. I guess I'll just add a regular margarita night in .

Hmm

Audio aye?

Good luck on your last 4 Lbs!!

I don't think I'll ever know what it's like to not have a goal before me... if anyone can share, that would be great.
