It's Monday again...

 I have not been doing well with exercising.  I need to find a way to get motivated.  Good news is that I got a job and should be starting soon.  It's a physical job and it's hot in there so I can expect to get some "exercise" from it.

Congrats on the new job and the weight loss, Jessica.

I lost a bit, too.

Doing great Renae.  I think you mentioned last week you hit your goal.  CONGRATULATIONS! Just wondering what your plans for maintaining are.  I still have 20 lbs to get there but just wanted to get an idea of what you r plains were.

I'm not sure about maintenance yet, Julie.  Still getting used to the idea.  :-)  I've been trying to lose weight my whole life, so changing my mind-set to maintenance is kind of weird.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject!  So far I'm just keeping on doing what I'm doing.  It means I've kept on losing, but the "goal" weight was a completely artificial number, so I figure my body will balance out where it wants to be.

Those 20 lbs are going to come off faster than you think!!  Great job!

I can tell you what my mom is doing.  She has recently lost 30 lbs.  Her overall loss is 70 lbs.  When she reached her goal weight  last fall she experimented with adding 100 calories a day to see how her weight did.  I think she can have about 200 more calories per day compared to when she was losing. She keeps her weight between 135 and 140.  Has been doing that since the fall.  She still writes everything down.  that's probably how I will do it once my weight is all off. 

I can't imagine what it will be like to have all my weight off either.  It's getting closer but it seems so far away.  I think we will still feel fat for a very long time.

My weight loss has slowed down a bit lately, so I need to get more active! My three month check-up is next week and I was hoping to be to onederland by then.

Starting Weight-264
Weight last week-206
Weight this week-203.5

Happy Monday :)
