I usually hate bumping old threads, but didn't want to start a new one just for an update.
I did as was suggested and went to see a dietitian. Not only did we set a new goal weight, we worked on creating a vegetarian diet that meets my needs. Considering that I have an extra 500 calories to play with each day now that I'm not trying to lose weight, I didn't want to fill that up with 500 calories of cheesecake. Even if that IS what I did last night.
Last night I celebrated graduating going from "Taking Off Pounds" to "Keeping Off Pounds":
The next goal is to get "in shape". There are hordes of people that are at the proper weight, but can't go a flight of stairs without being out of breath. I'm close to being in that group. I've joined a beginners running club and am thinking of getting a trainer....
So NOW I can put that ad in the paper saying "I lost 170 pounds in 1 year and didn't give a red cent to Dr. Bernsteins".
