@mel1530 Thank you my friend. You know the statistics concerning cardiac events on scene. I am hellbent on not adding to those numbers. Be safe.

@melkrampas Awesome progress! I love the bit about walking at work to look busy lol.

@cynthia1234 My real job is security… walking around to look busy has saved me from doing actual work countless times.

And thank you!

@melkrampas Diet fatigue is a real thing. Somewhat psychological also but to avoid this consider a maintenance phase and up your calories a tad. With an increase in calories you may hold a little more water but I wouldn’t be concerned unless you go over 212 or so then in 1-3 months start another push. You just did a very aggressive 6 months and you want to avoid a rebound. Maintenance diet helps normalize some internal stuff that’s going on and recalibrate your homeostasis
