I'm still at 153 after having gone up 1.8 this week. Probably due to nightly cough syrup etc while being sick for over a week. Last night was my first night without the cough syrup so maybe that's why my weight is back down. Regardless, I'll take it!

I go up and down then stabilize and start the process all over again. But I am not exercising enough and I know it. I just started back after a back injury and am trying to work up to 4 days a week.
You are an inspiration with all that walking you get in. I wish I could!
This week 120.4
Total loss 1.2
This will be my first full week of maintenance! I am a little concerned that I am still losing so much. I wasn't planning on really adding much food at this point. I am comfortable where I am at. I have 3 meals and an extra protein drink a day (3 proteins a day including breakfast).
My biggest problem isn't that I am afraid of the calories. I am afraid of the quanities. I am afraid to eat too much and stretching things out. Because I had no restriction by the time I had my revision I feel like I managed to "break" my first surgery, even though I know the surgeon left things too big at that time. But I remember I was always pushing the amount I could eat, to see if I could eat more. I don't want to do that now. I have gradually increased the amount I eat at eat meal but I don't want to go too far. My fear is losing my restriction.
