Wow, I don't know what happened last week, but I lost another 2 kgs and I now am at a total loss of 14.5 kgs. Only 1 more kg to my first goal. I'm now serious considering to attack my second and final goal, which would mean another 4 kgs which I have to get rid off.

 :spaceace: :spaceace:

I reached, and passed my goal weight:



I have now lost 15.7 kgs and reached my initial goal. My BMI went down from 32.7 to 27.7 And because it went pretty easy I set a new, final goal, which means another 3.8 kgs. Should be doable in 4-5 weeks and then it will be enough, it will bring my BMI below 27, which is good enough for me.

I'm happy.  ;D

Hah....funny.....that's exactly what was discussed at our group last week. Once you reach a goal you had in mind before, you'll want to set a new one and that's also the worst possible trap that can lead back up to a (much) higher weight.

So....not saying you should stop, just take it slow. Have you already begun to do some meals again ? I would if I were you. Yes the "decent" will slow a bit, but that's no problem.

I am at -19 kg now. That last 1 kg took a long time but that's OK. The initial goal was to reach -10% of our original weight. I've long reached that. Now I'm trying to balance stuff for a while. Or maybe forever if possible. If the result will be a slow decrease in weight that is probably better and easier to sustain....

Fortunately I do realize that. however the second, final, goal was always the intention. But when I started I thought that could never happen, so I set my primary goal a little less extreme. And because it is going so well (almost 16 kgs in less than 7 weeks), I decided to go for my initial intent.

Until today I ate one or two hot meals per week, but tonight we will go to a restaurant with friends (planned long ago), so I guess today is a good day to start with fase 2. And I will indeed slow it down a bit so that I can 'slide' into having regular and healthy eating habbits slowly.

Got there:) :)



I have lost 20.2 kgs and I reached my second and final target weight. Now it's the ultimate goal to maintain this achievement, which is by far a much greater, and a lifetime, challenge. But I'm positive that I will succeed to change my eating habbits permanently. Only the future will tell of course.
