pasquini 369 Posted November 19, 2011 Whew that was a tough lb to lose. 174 today. 4 more and I'm there! I have been thinking about "what's Next". I mean I am really about to be there!!!! Im not sure what it's like to not have weight to lose, to have conquered this life long nemesis. I feel rocky music queuing up..... 1 vegaslaw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lsereno 2,525 Posted November 19, 2011 Pasquini, Congrats! Less than 5 lbs. to goal! After you get to goal, what do you plan to change to enter maintenance and stop losing? I've got 15 plus a few ounces to go to goal, but I've been thinking about how I'll do maintenance quite a bit lately. When I'm not obsessing about not losing the last 15 :-) Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pasquini 369 Posted November 19, 2011 I'm really not sure, I pretty much eat normal now, except I watch my carbs. I can increase my carbs but not to the detriment of Protein intake. I have been trying to figure that one out. Guess I will be spending some time on the maintanance threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ldydrgnkpr 49 Posted November 19, 2011 That is such an awesome accomplishment! I am pushing the last 18 pounds myself. Rooting for you!!! Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loooou 30 Posted November 20, 2011 It is such an amazing feeling!! and terrifying one too. Though it has always been my dreams but I think the same like you, who is gonna be there for me to defeat? should my life start revolving about something else other than beating pounds and gaining my health? It is so scary for me, I know maintenance wont be easy but We will get used to it one day or another, and then what? lol I think I have developed so many passion toward sports and life, I will start to conquer those and may be the next thread we will be asking , where are we now? Best of luck to u and everyone!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raine 170 Posted November 20, 2011 congratulations Pasquini! 4 to go that is fantastic, my friend. I think maintanence will not be so hard, (not there yet so what do I know) You will be fine, you are determined to get there and stay there. Just keep doing what you are doing while upping your calories just a bit. My theory is that those who lose fast have a harder time with maintaining because their bodies haven't cought up to the trauma, but those who lose slow have an easier time because their bodies have had a chance to regulate somewhat and are used to what we are putting it through. Again just a threory. Can you attach audio to here? LOL I would love to hear the Rocky music when reading your goal thread hahhahah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pasquini 369 Posted November 20, 2011 I'm actually more concerned about not losing to much rather than regain. At least right now. I guess I'll just add a regular margarita night in . Hmm Audio aye? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
