I hit my panic weight of 190 a few weeks ago so I started mentally tracking points again for the past few weeks. Its amazing how much closer you watch portions and meals in general when you are actively holding yourself accountable for your calorie intake. Hopped on the scale this morning and I was back down to 184. Pretty nice to have the reminder that being strict with the plan does indeed work.
I think I might try to stick with the dieting for a month or so now too see if I cant cut some of the leftover beer gut out. I don't really want to lose any lbs, but if I follow a nice high protein diet, and stick to my regular gym schedule, I hope to be able to lose/ turn into muscle, the remaining 10ish lbs of fat that rings the waist.
Good job everyone else with trying to renew efforts. It certainly gets tough when there are bad weeks, but thats also when its most important to not give up with your efforts. Ive plugged it a few times before.. but I honestly think its still worth plugging some more. A great work routine that can be done easily at home and only takes about 20 minutes to get thru.
