So, I've lost 25 lbs in 3 months. A couple more lbs then I want to stabilize, but not sure how to do that. I don't have any experience with losing this much weight...I'm worried about the weight bouncing back on if I start eating more. Any advice from those who have BTDT?
Congrats on the weight loss. BTDT many times including a 45 pound loss a couple of years ago. The weight will sneak back up on you fast if you aren't careful. I was able to keep it off by increasing my level of exercise as I started eating my normal amount again. Of course, there is a sweet-spot to find as far as eating and exercise are concerned so just experiment and find it. Some other things that help. If you have a graphing program like Excel, plot your weight on a weekly basis. That way, if you start to creep back up, you catch it early.
Buy a great new wardrobe that complements your new figure. The important part is to get rid of your old clothes...don't keep them in storage. Your new clothes will serve as an early warning system for weight gain, this worked great for me this winter. If you keep the old clothes around, it is way too easy to move back into familiar and comfortable surroundings if you know what I mean!
