Part 2 of my tale from earlier today!
So in the 30 days of the Whole30 I dropped from 195 to 180. That was this past August. And here I am again at 194. It gets harder each time! And yes, maintenance is my problem. Also sugar and carb addiction. But I do not want this to be my new normal. So I'm gonna do this again. I rejoined a gym last week, have a couple girls on a similar path to talk to, and I'll let ya know how it goes. No excuses!

So you've identified the problem...Sugar=Carbs=Glucose=Sugar. You cannot outrun a bad diet. If you're an addict, treat yourself like an addict, withdrawal takes 2-3 weeks, can be uncomfortable..i.e, flu like symptoms, chills, headaches, etc.. in the end you'll have normalized your blood sugar and regained control of what you're eating. Structure a low carb higher fat, moderate protein and plant based diet and you'll keep the weight off.

Always no excuses is the only way...it has to become a lifestyle and truth be told no amount of exercise will keep those pounds away. I had to learn the hard way...I trained for an Ironman for 9 months solid thinking that doing 17 hours of exercise a week would make me skinny....I was 15lbs heavier than I am now. The only thing that will change the weight on the scale is what goes in your mouth...trust me, I have been there too many times in the past. YOU GOT THIS!!

Thank you all for the encouragement!! That's why I love this site! And yes mahjohn, it's totally like DTs, I just gotta get through it. Working from home from now until after the New Year, I'll be able to control my environment and plan plan plan.

Use the support and draw from the wealth of experience that's available among this community -- I haven't hit maintenance mode yet, so I can't completely relate/empathize, but I have had my most significant and successful loss (out of I'd say 3-4 previous 'serious' attempts) since joining FS in mid-June.
