Increased cals to 1400, decreased exercise, and still lost 8 pounds this month.

 What a weird month.  I started out where I had bounced just above my goal weight by 2 pounds.  I upped cals from 1200 (weightloss phase target) to 1400 and decreased my exercise by about half due to some medical restriction issues once I lost those 2 pounds.  And I still managed to lose 8 pounds for the month.  Had a doc appointment tonight with the wls group, and they don't want me to lose more than 10 more pounds and I can't see losing another 10 being that much of a problem.  So now my new goal is to drop 10 slooowly between now and the next appointment on January 19th.  Kinda of a gray area for me- just fine if I don't take off 10, and just fine if I do.  Not maintenence but not really feeling like it is weight loss phase either.  I feel blessed to be in this spot!

Oh, and the carbs have been off the charts this month relative to my typical month.  Go figure.

Sometimes it works in your favor like that...go figure. I can't imagine being in a place where I'm trying NOT to lose anymore. I hope to be in your position where you are trying to figure out how to stop the weight loss...because that means I hit my goal which seems like Mt Everest right now. Good for you having such a great month! Enjoy!
