That is awesome McLovin!! Years ago, in 2009 I gained almost 25 lbs, it know why, I was depressed over the economy. I decided to make some huge life changes and since I had nothing but time, I turned back into a gym rat, radically modified my diet and dropped the 25 lbs in short order.

Then in 2010 I decided to see how much of a 6 pack I could get, I used a trip to our time share in the Bahamas as a goal date. I got a nice 4 pack never getting the full 6 pack to come in. I realized when I was dieting and training to get there how much life sucks when you try to maintain single digit body fat.

I went off the diet on vacation carbs and beer never tasted as good as it did then.

Then I made a rule, NEVER, EVER need to lose more than 10 pounds, I check my weight maybe once a month, if I see the 10 pound mark coming up, I get back in line, it is so much easier to lose 7-8 lbs than to lose 15-20 lbs. I can typically drop the weight back off in 3-4 weeks with just a few small adjustments in my lifestyle. Then I get back on with enjoying myself. Beer is typically my biggest problem. I love a couple of cheeky pints after a long hot work day.

Good on you dropping that weight, now try to never have to do it again.
