Nice work. You should be pleased with yourself.
I hope you keep it off long term.
I actually lost some weight while in Germany, although it was kind of a happy accident, sort of. Put back a little of it over Thanksgiving but have maintained since then. Hoping to clear the holidays without putting much more back, then I'll once again adopt the routine I organically established for myself while I was away. I think I'm down about 50 pounds since June 2011, and more importantly, reversed just about every bad number I had going as it pertains to my bloodwork.
Oddly enough, and we all know that everyone's body works differently, etc, but I lost all that weight while still drinking diet soda....Coke Zero, specifically. I'm sure I'll die because of it but at least it didn't hinder my weight loss efforts.
