No,

I haven't changed the way I have been eating. Same foods, same amount and same exercise routine.

I'm thinking I may have been in a month and a half stall.

I'm not sweating it...My doc said my body will know when to stop.I'm just along for the ride.

I'm thinking about the possible regain that may happen in a year or two. So maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Only downside is that I may need to buy more clothes. I notice that things are starting to get loose.

Just an FYI, if I did or do what I did during my losing phase, I lose...  At almost 6 ft tall I am now around 148lbs...  I just keep losing when I behave...  so this whole trust your body thing, may not work for us tall forlk, or folks with a good metabolism...  I am not sure...  so just beware, you may need to eventually increase your intake in order to stop losing... but you are not looking too skinny, so I would continue to just go with the flow...

AND, it is true that you may want a buffer anyway because of the possible regain...  it can happen... look at me :)

Ya the clothes thing can get expensive eh?  Oh well it, and you, are worth it.

Big hugs,

Cindy

My doctor did caution me that I should not go below a normal BMI. I'm still far from it. My BMI as of this morning is 28.3

Currently I'm doing about 1,300 calories sometimes 1,500 I've been doing that for the last 3 months. I'm not sure why all of a sudden I lost 5 pounds in a week.

I don't mind buying clothes as long as it's becuase I'm loosing and not gaining. I just bought a couple of suits last month. May have to get them taken in. I will need a new summer wardrobe anyway so that's not a big deal. I just won't be able to use my winter clothes next year.

It's funny, having been at or below goal for awhile and because it is perpetually summer here, I am actually wearing my clothes out now.  I get new ones now because I have holes in the old ones, not because I outgrow them.  How cool is that?

I love my Sleeve!

Hey Beautiful,

That is all we can do, one day at a time, worry about today and tomorrow will take care of itself...

I miss you, it's always so good to see your beautiful face.  I hope life is treating you well my friend.

Big warm hugs,

Cindy
