looking good, the scales are moving in the right direction :)

Yes they are! I was freaking out for a minute, I read this article about former contestants on "The Greatest Loser" who gained their weight back no matter what they did and I don't want that to happen to me.
 
There will be a lot of trial & error with maintenance Matt. Keeping an eye on it & making instant adjustments, as you are doing will soon correct anything. Well done!

Exactly, that's what I'm doing now. Thanks!

Today was a cheat day, so I went a little crazy lol. I didn't get a chance to do walking since my dog was afraid to go out, b/c someone called the police for some reason and they were outside talking among themselves.
 
I was about to say "yay" for being back under 180 & then I read what you had for dinner! :rolleyes: WOW! Matt- is your dog scared of the police? Were there flashing lights & sirens? :)
 
I don't think I can even have a cheat day. If I did I think the old memories and temptations would come up as to what I used to eat. Good for you for getting it out of your system though. Cudos for being able to do that. I do have a cheat meal once in a while but try to still eat healthy normally. I do allow myself some "cheat things" once in a while but I don't think I could eat cookies and pizza without feeling sick-lol.

LOL!!! Well that's what was odd there were no sirens or flashing lights, just two police cars parked and three PO's standing there talking.They didn't even acknowledge us. I'm guessing it was the police I guess it could have been something else.

Yeah I used to be that way and I was figured if I have a day to get it out of my system then I won't be tempted all the time! Every time I'm tempted to eat junk, I think "just wait until Sunday you can eat all the junk you want!"
 
Your cheat day looks amazing - or "a normal Saturday night" for me at the moment! Looks like you're doing great - well done :)

I screwed up and ate some Popcorn, well A LOT of popcorn.
 
What on earth is a Devil's Backbone lager? Sounds very Halloweeny! When you say 4 hours of walking is that after work in one go? Or just like throughout the day? Popcorn is a lovely treat - I can never put back half a bag and end up eating the whole lot. Salt & vinegar popcorn is my favourite!
