has anyone just kept losing?
i was wondering if anyone just kept losing and losing, i'm getting close to the 200 lb loss mark i still exercise 5-6 times a day i still have alot of restriction, i noticed yesterday i ate a whole pintos and cheese from taco bell i was comfortable, before i could only eat half at a time, but there small.
I hope so..... 
I haven't read of many people that are having "loosing too much weight" trouble once they hit goal. I think that loosing up the carbs and fat restrictions takes care of that pretty well. Keeping the weight off, and maintaining the loss by keeping on the program seems to be the more common issues.
Great problems to have. Congrats on how much you've lost! Hope to join you sooner rather than later.
I reached my goal of 140 June 1. I am currently maintaining in the 134-136 range. I think I could still lose if I didn't up my carbs/calories. I don't want to though. I think 134 is even a little low for me now. I don't want to look sickly.
It has been a strange transition, I almost felt like stopping on a dime and going the other way as far as adding carbs/calories. Apparently I'm doing ok. I have not been over 136 in a month at least and most days I'm 135. I eat a little more on the nights I work out. I still measure my food...I'm terrified to stop I think. I never was good at eyeballing my portions, hence the need for surgery in the first place. I do have good restriction. I usually can eat 4-6 oz total, but dense protein is rarely more than 3.5 oz at a time. My calories are generally in the 1200-1400 range and carbs up to 100 or so. I don't eat much bread, but do enjoy a Thomas' bagel thin on occasion or a sandwich made with 1/2 an Arnold Sandwich Thin.

You exercise 5-6 times EACH DAY?
That's rather unusual.
If you were to "just keep on losing" it would mean that something is drastically wrong.
I have excellent restriction, and I could easily regain weight if I chose to do so. I could coose to eat the wrong foods (and sometimes I do exactly that), I could choose to "graze" (and sometimes I also do that).
I watch myself, and I weigh once each week (and NEVER, EVER more often that that). If I have gained 5 pounds (or more), I immediatley get back on program, drinking Protein shales, and knocking just about every thing else out (excep****er). I still drink at least half a gallon of water every day.
I walk for exercies, and that is all that I ever did. I walk a 3 mile circuit, 3 days each week, and that is the ONLY exercise that I do.
This really is simple. All too many people overcomplicate the process.
