My weight loss is much slower since getting off the strict plan, but still happening. I was 173.5 lbs this morning, finally getting me under the psychologically important 175 pound tier. I am now ten pounds lighter than the day I started college in 1985 and I hope to keep going more. We'll see where I finally stabilize at. I hope it is at a point where I have nothing jiggly hanging over my belt, which I will continue to have for at least another 15 pounds.
