I got stuck at 139.5 until yesterday. Now I'm down to 137, which is great. I've been cheating a bit though. Today I had an extra shake (we are allowed if we are really having a hungry day), and extra peanut butter for the past 4 days. Im allowed 1 tbsp of peanut butter as an optional snack. I had 2 tbsp. today. So, an extra shake and an extra tbsp of pb. That's not bad at all, but I don't want to get into a pattern and begin to gain again.
My goal weight is 132, but now that I've lost 13.5 pounds, I can live with the weight I am now very happily. I have a few bulges, and I will never have a flat stomach again, but I feel good, my clothes fit, and I am happy with how I look.
132 might be too thin anyway. I think that at a certain age, too thin looks bad.
I have sharp features and look gaunt when I'm too thin.
My healthy BMI weight range is between 114 to 131 pounds. I don't want to be so thin.
So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm very happy with my weight right now, and feel that this diet has been a success. Now, to keep it off....
