Where moderation got me ...

Wow, impressive strength.  I couldn't climb a rope if I had to. I've never been able to.  That's amazing that you can do that.  Moderation for me is finding a happy balance. Healthy eating but still enjoying  things I like to eat.  Unfortunately, I can't do moderation in some things. I have to cut them out or they become unhealthy for me.  For me, eating fast food and sodas are something I can't allow back in my life.  They take over. I haven't had a soda in a  year and I recently started eating fast food and it's led to a stall.

recognition is step one!

I totally agree.  I haven't had diet coke in 3.5 years.  Oh I'd love it, but it just doesn't work for me.  

AWESOME!  You are finding your happy spot!  I think that is, like, the coolest thing.  This time around for me, I'm not losing as quickly.  I could exercise more. Probably should exercise more.  But I exercise three days a week with a trainer.  My body is being defined differently now then when I lost my weight the first time.  I got down to 144 before.  I'm not gonna lie, I would love to get down to that again, but with the training I'm doing, I don't think my weight will have to get that low to be that size again.

Thank you for the great inspiration!

Getting into your superhero training !!!!

Much respect.

Your absoutley incredible an inspiration for sure....  

And a cup cake Omgggggggg your grounded lmao.....  Wait I ate a Hersey kiss last night.....  Moderation is the key to all of this....  I'm now just about 3 years out of wls and yes I eat cake and cookies and not so great stuff sometimes but only sometimes and not a whole bag but a bite or 2..  I have maintained my 110lbs weight loss and have stayed at a size 4.....  And I will never bindge because I will give in time to time with a few bites here and there....  However now  with that being said I didn't do it ever during my honeymoon phase the first year......  I got to were I wanted to be first....  No regrets here!!!

Amazing!  

Yes - I think giving in for little treats is so key.  I wanted that cupcake for a couple of days.  Finally I let myself have it.  I enjoyed it.  I didn't beat myself up over it.  I only bought one - ate it and am done.  Its hard to find balance, but I think worth it.  I know the result of never having it -- it builds up until I just have everything.  

Exactly!!!!!!! 

I am glad you posted this!  It is a journey to find what is best for our individual bodies.  We all say it isn't just the number scale and we mean it......but it takes work and more than a little courage to discover our personal best.  Well done.  

Envious of that shoulder strength :)   Shoulders are my new frontier.

Wow, that is some serious strength to get up that rope. Pretty sure if I tried to just jump up a tad and hold that position on a rope for 3 seconds couldn't do it!
