I feel like I can't compare to some of those amazing success stories...

...but I was still very happy to hit the target today that I set myself, losing over 8.5 kg (19pounds. I looked it up ) in just under 8 weeks!! Just wanted to share that with someone ^^"

There's going to be a whole pizza for me tonight! (no, not even as a reward (because rewarding yourself with food sends the wrong message to your brain and may mess up the good results), but as part of the diet, as I calculated all other meals to accommodate the amount of calories given on the box. <- this just shows how much MFP has helped me. I don't have to deny myself treats like my favourite pizza (Dr.Oetker with goats' cheese ^^) because you can easily see how much you have to adjust for and can redistribute calories. But I still worry a lot about meals that are homecooked by someone else or at a restaurant, because there's no way of guessing exactly how much you've had without being a total weirdo and weighing every ingredient while the other person is cooking, and the resulting food and then your portion...

I am now considering stopping to lose and trying to maintian my current level - especially because I am "normal" at 22.4BMI (yes, a controversial unit, but just for reference...) and worried about my flabby skin and, well... breats. v__V" (I hope my skin will tighten a bit more! But I have no idea how to switch to Maintenance and am worried about gaining weight again!! (which I probably will anyways since I have never been this low and it may still be mainly water (and that I have different (and "nicer", i.e. inaccurate, showing smaller numbers) scales now than when I first started)
