So I was stuck for a long time just above a nice round number (about 30 pounds lower than my starting weight). I recently hopped on the scale and found that I was five pounds below my nice round number and can now start lusting after the next nice round number.
Thank you Reinhard! After almost 2 years I am down 35ish pounds, look and feel much better, etc.
Of course I can also thank my newly stressful job (yay?) for helping shed the pounds by making breakfast and lunch necessarily fast. I am now eating like those old slim-fast ads "A shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, and a sensible dinner." Except that for me it's "A piece of fruit (or applesauce cup) for breakfast, a quesadilla and an applesauce cup for lunch, and a sensible dinner."
Kind of boring twice a day, and good stuff when I can actually enjoy it. I use the "no sugar added" applesauce and the other "no sugar added" flavors. I like the mango one. New flavors of applesauce are cool! Yay innovation! Sugared applesauce is redundant. Apples are sweet anyway! That's why they add apple juice to other juices, it's cheap and sweet.
Yay me!

Thanks guys!
I also owe it to all the awsome posters who helped encourage me when I was just getting started (and continually to this day). This board is a great resource for that. I don't check in as much anymore but still I feel supported and loved. When I do check in I try to encourage other people the way I was encouraged and pass the love along.
