Beat my FIRST plateau!

I've been doing a lot of forum reading since I've been on MFP. I realized my first plateau was going to come and I needed a plan. I figured I couldn't continue to lose 4 lbs a week forever,

I learned that as exercise became a normal thing, my body would require more calories to operate than it had previously when I was a sloth. I also learned that I needed to vary my exercise as to keep my body tricked into not "getting used to it." So I go to ( Round, I run/walk and do some insanity.

My plan was to first try adding an additional 200 calories per day for a week and observe results. If that didn't work add another 200 cal per day per week and try again. If that didn't work, I'd add weights into the mix. And if all else failed, purchase a food scale to be more precise w what I was putting into my system. (I tell you, as an engineer, I was quite ticked at myself for not looking at weight loss as a simple material balance. Freshman year stuff I'd ignored my entire 19 years of adulthood)

So it finally happened at my weekly weigh in last Friday. I had dropped 41 pounds in just 10 weeks and all of a sudden I was looking at the same weight from the last weigh in. After my initial chin drop, I checked out my plan, looked at my average calories and decided to add 200 each day on average. Two days ago I did an early check and, YES, I'm down another two pounds!

I just wanted to say a public thank you to GOD, MFP and the people on here. I read the forums EVERY DAY... ESPECIALLY Success Stories. It keeps me motivated. I know where I can be as long as I keep praying, eating right and exercising. IN - OUT

I will make it to ONE-derland. Only 73 pounds left!
