I decided to make some chicken salad since I had some left over cans of chicken lying around. It actually turned out pretty good, though I didn't realize how high in calories it was!

Hey Jonom,
Just happened upon your thread. Wow, 4 years in the making and great success. Just curious, what was your reasoning for setting goals in 15 to 20-pound ranges and why did you set your final goal within a 20-pound range?

Thanks, when I started I knew I wanted to get down to 180 but it was seemed like such a daunting task so I decided to start small. I first tried 10 lbs, the 15 lbs. then 20, then 25 then 20 again etc.
 
Hi jonom, Congratulations on your weight loss and the maintenance. I'm new here and just recently came across your diary. I was pretty close to where you were. I was 330 but am at 248 now. One thing I wanted to ask about was when you got lower, did you find it harder to keep losing the weight? The mental fight is the hardest for me sometimes. My mind thinks I've already lost enough weight. Congratulations again. Your progress is really inspiring!!

I think it was a little bit harder, but luckily I didn't hit a plateau. I remember years ago I tried losing weight and had a plateau and ended up giving up. I think it helps to have a clear goal as to how much you want to lose. Are you happy at 248 or do you want to lose more?

I want to lose more. I was at a plateau for about two and a half months and am just now going down again. I feel better physically and mentally the lower I get but my mind will sometimes tell me I've made it far enough. Maybe even that I don't deserve it or that I can't handle it. I know if I keep going, I'll eventually feel even better but it gets harder to fight off that mentality. OK, answering your question has made me think about a lot. Thank you.
