Yup Calico - it's all about mindset and what works for you as an individual. We have to adapt habits and healthy eating that works our own individual lifestyle. All of our calorie levels, caffeine intake, fat grams, etc. are all different.

What works for one may not work for another... how much exercise, how much food, how much of anything... ?

That's why we all love the Phen so much... it helps take the hunger pains away so we can make wise choices and figure out what works for us. Maintaining weight is very easy.. heck I had been 160-163 for a very long time. Dieting is hard because you have to cut the calories to lose.. hence, Phen.

When I do reach my goal weight I will increase my cal by 200 a day for a week and see what happens. Then if need be the following week, increase a little more and see how it goes. This is how I will find what calorie level works for me at that weight and waht I will need to do to maintain.

It's a lifelong process and one that doesn't happen overnight.. Heck, we didn't get this heavy overnight, it will take some time to come off and readjust our mindsets.

Good luck to all.. we CAN and WILL do this!!!
