132.5 lbs. This past week I've only fluctuated 1-1.5 pounds up or down from my LIW of 132. I'm managing to keep things stable. And, I'm eating pretty much what I want. If I splurge one day, I back off the next. It's really not hard. I've even had a few beers here and there.
The only thing worth reporting is that I'm maintaining my weight on phase 4 with little to no effort. I know that carbs and sugars are pitfalls. I must avoid them, but I can also skirt around the fringes and not have devastating things happen to me.
I am looking forward to taking off the last 10-15 pounds in June. I think only then will I really believe that I've succeeded. Once that goal is obtained, then the challenge is to keep the weight off for a year or more. I've learned a lot and now know what combinations work for my body.

Day 70
131.5 lbs. Easy come, easy go. I think it might have been the 2 butterfly pork chops last night...or the corn. It's still under the LIW (last injection weight) of 132, so I'm happy.
Tomorrow starts phase 4 ~ adding in carbs and sugars. I will need to research this stage on the yahoo groups so see how people survive. I can see how one could easily snowball and fall to the bottom of the hill. It really doesn't take much in the way of carbs to derail me. I can only imagine the same would be true for sugars. Just a little bit scared. Looking forward to pizza, but not sure one piece would be satisfying. I see steak days in my future....

Day 67
132 lbs. That dinner last night didn't hurt me one bit. When you follow the rules, no carbs and no sugar, the pounds really do stabilize. If you mess up, the steak day abolishes your sins.
This is Day 18 of phase 3. That means 3 more days of this phase and then it's on to phase 4. I'm leery of phase 4 where you're allowed to introduce carbs and sugars back in, albeit in moderation. What little carbs I've splurged on seemed like moderate to me, but had dire consequences. Not sure if I can imagine having an English muffin and then gaining two pounds the next day. I wonder if I'll be able to have bread or pasta at all? Likely, the key is to increase the exercise...i.e.,...earn your treats. I guess I should start wrapping my head around that concept, which isn't bad....really.
