Muz, Keriann, Sunnyone, and Rajenki - THANK YOU! I realy,
really needed to read this. I was so reluctant to post something negative for support but that is why we are all here, and I sure am glad I did.
I am on day 2 of induction and I feel great. I really think the going off and on plan is what gave me the blues - because my mindset is 100% back now. I have lost 40 pounds, and 2 weeks ago it was 47 so I know first hand how fast the weight can come back on. Granted, I had a female dilemma the day I weighed so I think I really gained back 4 pounds and not 7 - but it doesn't matter. The bottom line is, I gained some back that fast and I have to spend the next week or so taking it back off.
!!!!
I NEVER want to gain the 40 back. I made a promise to a friend and to myself that when I am in maintenance, the minute I go up 5 pounds I have to come back. And this little promise, doesn't go into effect for another 111 pound loss; so I have a long way to go. Just 8 months ago, I was 40 pounds heavier and that is definitely better then mexican, pizza, fries, or ice cream (my favorite carb and sugar filled downfalls!!) So again, thank you to all of you. I feel fantastic again.
