Hello all,

It was a long difficult journey and one that I constantly struggle with. I have a blog that has become very therapeutic because I get to write about my struggles and successes and all things related to my journey, emotional, physical, and mental. Now I'm just really looking to discuss with other people who share the same struggles, successes, and goals that I had and have.

Now I'm trying to gain muscle to get rid of some excess skin and it's one big mind warp, because I need to eat more, but mentally don't want to.

    Wow! Congrats on an amazing transformation!

    I know what you mean about not wanting to eat more when you reached your goal. What worked for me was slowing increasing my calories, not moving from my deficit to maintenance overnight. That seemed to help me with my transition mentally. I just didn't want all the weight to come back!

    Wishing you continued success!

    Good for you! You must feel proud to know you stayed with your healthy lifestyle thru holidays and other occasions when some people abandon their 's. I know it's a one-day-at-a-time approach and looking at your pics its evident you're walking the journey of 10000 steps one at a time. Wtg!!! Keep on keeping on!
