Hi Sonali and Yvonne,

I am still here. Still doing my experiments on what exactly will maintain the weight within a 5 pound range or so. What I have learned so far is that it is easy to lose the weight. No challenge there. The next level begins after that when one must maintain that weight. I seem to have learned pretty much what it will take to hold a steady weight. When I was at 210 and decided to do that experiment the weight (water?) quickly came on and I went to 220 fairly fast.

For the last month or so I have been working on maintaining a weight range so I will pretty much know what to expect at 180-185. For the last month I have been rock solid at 227 or so with small variances (water?) up to 230-31 then back down to 227. Perhaps this might mean I have to go down to 170 then eat normal and go back up to 185 and maintain 185-190. We will see.

Here's the motivation for the day. I've had this saved on my computer forever. What Eric tells his audience about success is BANG ON !!
