9 month update- I think I'm done

I haven?t lost any weight in like 6 weeks. I fluctuate between 186 and 189. I can see the outside and centerline of where abs should be. Definitely have some loose skin. I?m sure I can lose up to 10 pounds, but I?m tired of losing muscle for the number on the scale. Time to rebuild. I had a hard time buying these pants. I had to go to 3 stores to buy a pair of 30x32 pants! I used to have the total opposite problem!

Awesome! Congratulations!

Smart move. The important thing is how you feel. Are you happy with how you look and feel? You look great! And happy...

If you've stalled for 6 weeks, you are likely eating the number of calories required to maintain your loss. To continue losing, you'd need to cut calories and/or burn more (exercise).

It is totally possible to keep losing weight while building muscle!

Time to build muscles.

And like magic I lose 4 pounds in the 3 days after posting this! I by no means am I trying to stop losing. I added cardio back into the mix. I think I will focus on 1 type of working out for no longer than a month to always keep my body guessing. Swim this month, long runs next, sprints, circuit lifting, heavy lifting.......
