After one week of being back "to the beginning"
Just over a week I mentioned I was going through a rough time. I gained about 6 pounds from my “lowest" weight. All of you were extremely understanding, and mentioned to “get back to the beginning".
I took everyone’s advice, and started from square one. Did mostly liquids, but had a few “solid" meals. Kept a journal what I ate, and made sure I stayed around 1,200 calories a day – all the while hitting my protein numbers. And I got back to exercising.
Well yesterday I jumped on the scale, and I am happy to report I lost all 6 pounds .. and additional 3 more for a total of 9 pounds. I weighed in at 260 yesterday. And if I only stay in my underwear I am 257. So I guess I can say I am in the 250’s – and if that’s the case I haven't hit that range in over 20 years.
It reinforced to me that this tool does work, as long as we follow the rules.

I am so happy for you. You always make things look so easy!
I really need a good kick in the pants myself right now. I hate to say it, but just 6 lbs short of goal, I think that I have gotten totally complacent and have started eating things that I know I shouldn't just because I can. I am going to be very strict with my diet and exercise this week and then take it from there.
Thanks for continuing to inspire!
Hey Kiddo,
Thanks for the kind words. And since you did it to me, I will give it back. You know what to do - so do it !! For me, starting with just liquids worked. Yeah I know it will be hard, but after a two or three days you get used to it.
Know I am here if you need. And if you feel like you need a walking partner, let me know.

I ran 6 miles this morning and I feel so much better already. My travel schedule may wind up changing afterall, so I may be able to join you on the 18th. I'll let you know!
