lol! Too funny. I'm sure you are eating a lot more mindfully now and watching for fullness signs. Since you are on a mission to get to your final goal I am sure its on your mind each bite you take. Either way good for you.

Sounding like my wife! Shes been getting on me the past couple weeks about me still being too cautious... HAHA

She tells me the same thing. I actually add REGULAR PB to my Protein Shakes in the morning now. Last night I had a frozen banana for a snack after dinner. I had 2 low carb tortilla's left over so I'm going through those before I buy a new bag of fatty ones.

Topic: RE: Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? TGIThurs!!!!
Wow! I may just do The Hat  7 days a week! I could go for a Pastrami Sadnwich and an order of Chili Cheese Fries. That may just do the trick! HAHA

But for reals. Yea, weight keeps coming off. Feeling much stronger and still look healthy but I dont want to be in my 140's I was hoping to stay in the higher end of 150 range. Not sure I could eat much more either and still eat healthy. Makes me want to start carb loading but I just can't do it as I am enjoying eating healthy.

QUICK EDIT: Okay Roscoe's it is!!! I love that place. Actually I am going there on Sep 8th after we leave the Harvest Crusade at Dodger Stadium with a bunch of friends :)

Topic: RE: Gulping a glass of nice cold H2O
Took me about 3 months but now I can drink a 16oz bottle of really cold water in about 5 minutes. Obviously that is when I first wake up in the morning on an empty stomach.

Topic: RE: Newbies...Please, Please, Please Listen
No reason to be jealous about anyone's journey especially mine. Everyone has there own path and own timeline. Was I fortunate to lose so quickly? I don't really know.. Yea, I guess so but for me it really wasn't a race. If it would have taken a year to reach goal I could have absorbed more information in and learned more about my body. I would have been just as happy reaching goal in a year as it was reaching it in 3 1/2 months. 

I find it difficult for me to help some people on here because although I have been in maintenance for a bit now, I did not have stalls or struggles that many people have endured. So me preaching to someone about doing this not that is a bit odd. All I can give is support and encourage them to push through it but not really understanding where they are coming from.

You did such an awesome job throughout your entire journey and enjoy reading all of yours posts.

Topic: RE: Loose Skin Poll
I have a very little bit on my lower stomach but everything else held up pretty good. Probably a mix of genetics, age, and exercise. Given that I have lost 180 lb's its not bad at all.

 Yep! What he said :)

You NEVER want to eat until full. Take your time and eat until your content and satisified.

Topic: RE: Non-NSV-Air Travel-I Can't Lie
Just read on LA Times that United Airlines will be installing "slimmer" seats starting next year to increase capacity. I remember all too well sitting on a Southwest Airplane and what went through my head when I couldn't buckle the seat belt. Those days are gone for good
