I've maintained 165 since the diet ended and been able to lose 2% body fat. I swim at lunch during the week and lift kettlebells at home in the evenings. I have weekly checkups with my nurse to make sure I'm not letting myself go. I'm still getting used to the lifestyle change, but loving the results.

Hang in there everyone.

IMO the best thing for fat loss... is a "fasted" cardio. Just hit the stair climber for 30 mins before you eat breakfast.

All of these "low calorie" diets make me very concerned for many of your long term health.
Finally broke the plateau though. Averaging 1650 calories per day.

I do some resistance training 2-3 times a week.

Over the past month I'm averaging 1 lb lost per week, so I'm still hopeful I can get close to 172 lbs and 50 lbs lost by the end of 2014. I'm on track for 175 assuming no more long plateaus, of course I'm bound to hit at least 1 more.

Feels good man.

As for "fasted cardio" I do this every AM taking my son for a walk in his stroller for 30 minutes, 25% steep incline, 25% decline, 50% level, brisk pace.

Glad your making progress and smashing through plateaus

I was a bit hungry so since I made it through the plateau I pushed my average back up over 1700 calories. SUCCESS!!! Still losing.

It is a pain when you hit that stagnant state...I was doing great until I started running and now I cannot gain or lose weight. I am stuck at 182-183 and running about 22 miles a week now.

Last night was the first beer I have had in about a month and after two, I felt drunk. I had to stop for a while before my third beer and gave up after that. I just don't have the craving for booze any more although the fall beers are coming out and I really love a good pumpkin beer once the weather gets cooler. Guess I will wait another month before having another cold one.

Lost 1-2 more...don't really need to, just living a healthier lifestyle (better food/daily exercise).

Clothes shopping is fun.

Saleperson: Can I help you find a size?
Me: Yes, do you have this in an Extra-Small?
