I hit the 25 lb lost mark yesterday and maintained it today (my weight often varies in about a 3 lb range so consistency is a good sign this is real). I have hit this once before then went back up 6 lbs after a med change. So I'm hoping this time it sticks and I can move on to my next goal of 30 lbs/less than 200 lbs. It's weird that I lost this now as I've eaten more junk than usual this week as well as being over my calories several times because my schedule was off while I was dog-sitting and I ate at unusual times but I'll gladly take it! I've been on this diet for 9 months now.
