Good job on the weight loss. You put me to shame there, too. (sob)

[Oldster]

My ease at weight loss is something that has BURNED my wife up over the past 35 years, Mark! I'm not going to say its easy for me, but when I make my mind up I become pretty single minded. The biggest problem I find is losing it to quickly. In the past I"ll clean my diet up and increase my cardio and not stop until I am where I want to be. Now that I'm old(er) and smarter (I hope) I will drop 6-8lbs and then hold at that BW. Then another 6-8lbs and hold again. I've found if I approach it that way the weight loss is easier and when I get back down to the goal weight it will stay off until I get another wild hair about gaining weight for strength!
