Losing weight is work!! I took the rest of the summer (and the first part of fall!) off. Now that doesn't mean I went crazy. I know if I really want I can gain 3 lbs a week and wipe out a 30lb loss in 10 weeks no problem. I did go up to 235 on vacation, so I've lost a bit of weight recently, but the net isn't all that impressive. I've been walking regularly, but at an easy conversational pace most of the time. Also, although most weekdays I keep careful track of what I'm eating, on the weekends I don't such a good job. The sad fact is that one or two "normal" fast food and/or restaurant meals on the weekend can void a week of keeping track. It won't kill you, but it won't lead to fast weight loss either!!
So, now before the winter holidays start I'm ready to start to work. My goal is to be at about 210 before holding steady for the holidays and start the new year as a size 20. I also still have the goal of returning to the Fontana Days race and walking the half-marathon.
