[color=Purple]Well I haven't been around too much lately coz I've had a lot going on...
However, since my last visit on June 20th I've hit a plateau at a loss of 17 total pounds. I'm pleased with this and if this is where it stays so be it :)
I really think that with a major modification in diet, staying active whether it be walking every day for even a 1/2 hour plus drinking lots of water are all key .. including patience. I do make sure to always give myself a treat every 10-14 days as a little reward for both my quit and for my weight loss. That treat usually comes in the form of chocolate.. chocolate anything :eg:
First and foremost is my new non smoking life, then came the diet, diet modification and physical activities.. stairs instead of elevators or escalators, walking (when possible) instead of taking the bus, when there's small block of 'what should I do now' time hop onto my exercise bike etc etc.
I wish everyone who is trying to lose weight all the very best..
and also to plan it all out as you did when you decided to stop smoking. Have a set of tools to fall back on when you have a food craving, make sure you have substitutes, and try to be patient.
This is my final post in my own weight loss thread.
Be well .. :)
