HEY HB! I agree, slow and steady wins the race for sure. You have to allow yourself ample time to adjust to your new lifestyle. You can't just go balls to the wall for a few months and then go back to where you were before without gaining it all back. You basically have to learn to eat like a normal person again. Now if I could just take what I've learned about diet and excersize and translate that to my need to be more organized....
