First Maintenance Summary

Six weeks of ridonculous low-calorie diet, done. Six weeks of maintenance, done.

I definitely edged up over 200.2 a few times, but every time, I knew why. I edged way over 200 twice, the first time on accident, the second time (last weekend) because I was loading up for a second round, and then got really sick and decided to put it off for a few days. Each and every time, it has been really easy to get back down with minimal effort and "dieting." I just cut all carbs and sugar and eat pretty strictly for 2-3 days (lean proteins, veggies, fruits, nuts, cheese) and my weight just slips back. I do think my stable weight adjusted up about a pound (from 198.2 to 199.4, which is what I kept coming back to in the second half of maintenance), but that's really no biggie.

Here's my final weight chart for maintenance, with "over" days highlighted. You can see that in every case, once I made an attempt to get it back under control, it happened pretty easily.
