Wow ridin, I was impressed when you hit 100, but I had no idea where you were coming from at the very start. You have passed everyone up and take the crown of this thread. Great Job!!!
Lenny & Ridin, I wasn't really testing anything but just felt like I needed to entirely walk away from it for a week. I had gone 26 weeks and had never gained weight from one weigh-in to another. I had not had fries for months, only had pizza a couple times in the past 2 months. Maybe ice cream (less than 1 cup) once every 2 weeks, and I had counted every calorie I ate. I walked at least 4 miles 27 out of 30 days a month, and even walked 8 miles about 5 days a month. Once I hit my goal I just needed to take a week and eat anything anytime and skip devoting the time to walking. At the end of that week I felt terrible physically but it was nice to not have my calorie book, scale and food log out all the time so I had a mental break.
Then week I eased back into it and by the end of the week I felt better and was ready to follow a structure again. I plan to get back down to under 170 and stabilize since I'd had my diet vacation.
Besides, I keep telling all of you what I'm doing so there is no way I'm showing up at the ride-in weighing more than 170!
I hope all of you are planning to come, so we can celebrate together.
