Back on Track

I had a two week break. By break, I mean I made wise decisions on a day to day basis and ate clean, but did go out on three separate nights where I ate (non carb) foods that are no-no's and socially drank on those three nights too (5 glasses of white wine in total over 3 nights). Mentally, I was exhausted of peeing in a cup and getting weighed. I didn't gorge or feel guilty that I wasn't strict. Weighed in 2 weeks later and had even lost 0.4 lbs. It's not much, but it shows that I have morphed into the lifestyle where I can maintain, while being able to have some normalcy in my social life. Back to Bernstein now. I want to get down to the 155 which they recommended and keep it there!

Current weight: 160.8
Total lost: 29.8 lbs (almost 30!)

Plateau

So my weight loss has been slowing down. I'm 161.2, very close to my initial goal of 160. I still want to lose more weight, 150 eventually. I have 2 weeks left of Bernstein and don't think I will make it to my Dr. B "goal weight" of 155 by then. I'm losing about 1-2 pounds a week, which is healthy, and makes sense, as I have a lot less fat to lose. Thing is, you don't qualify for their "4 weeks of maintenance" unless you hit your goal weight. It doesn't make financial sense for me to keep paying for full strict weeks to get the free 4 maintenance weeks, as 1 full week = 6 weeks of maintenance. Kinda stuck now. Will post again!
