Rachel,
Good on you for losing the weight. I will not be one to hold my tongue without also seeing both sides of the coin. I am not sure how you lost the weight but I would hope it was through sensible eating and activity. When you have so much the lose it is possible to lose so much in such a short time but when your body learns it changes. In other words it knows when to feast or famine.
With that said if you starved yourself it will reverse in time so I hope you make any necessary changes to prevent that. Now that you have lost the weight it is time to think of some sensible food and fitness decisions.
1. Eat often and stay within your calorie range to lose 1 to 1.5 lbs per week.
2. Monitor fat and sodium because although you may lose fat leads to other health issues (do not want to be slim with high blood pressure and cholesterol) and sodium will cause you to retain water.
3. Eat plenty vegetables and fruits.
4. Balance - Balance the carbs, proteins, and fat based on MFP settings for your goals
5. Exercise at least 40 minutes 7 days a week whether it be walking, elliptical or whatever. Got to move to maintain and continue to lose.
Do not want to throw a hatchet into your plans but want you to realize if you want this change to be permanent you have to make the right decisions. You may be doing all this but since I could not see your diary and we are not friended so I can see your exercise activity I saw this in terms of the unknown while passing on my wisdom.

I hope you have a chance to look at further posts by the person who started this thread - she knows what she's doing and she's doing it right, so try not to make a positive thing have negative connotations. Everyone knows what NOT to do, they're here to do what's right and healthy.
Although I know you are trying to be helpful, perhaps a private message would have been better than splattering this all over her "Success" post - not everyone has it in them to boast about successes, and this isn't encouraging to those trying to get up the nerve.
Rachel - no matter what anyone says, I know you're doing this right and this thread is an amazing tribute to that! Good on you!
Thanks so much for standing up for me0 -
I thought we were supposed to leave congratulatory comments on SUCCESS stories not "Advice" lol if we want "tips" and such then we will go to one of the other threads meant for that. Good job girl, keep it up!
Thanks
I worked hard to get there and did it the right way..If I wanted Advice or tips, I'd ask for it.
BTW Thanks everyone for the kind words
lol you guys really do know how to make a girl feel good about herself0 -
