That is an awesome lunch box and 50lbs is a cause for celebration. It is a life changing event.
My story is very similar to yours, I started out a bit lighter (265) and got down to 225, but then stalled. After a period of frustration I believe that I figured out why - I failed to reset what I will call, for lack of anything better, my caloric expectation.
I expected to eat "x" so I did. What I failed to take into account is that less food is required at 225 than 265. I was unconsiously eating to maintain the higher weight. I figured this out by incorporating some of the best advice ever given in either DD forum - "Write it down".
If your progress stalls, my unsolicited advice is:
1. Write down your eatings and adjust your "expectations" to your newly svelt size.
2. Reduce the simple sugars in your food choices (dates and dried fruits are super concentrated sugars).
3. Stick with your high iron diet!
I sincerely hope that your next post will be about needing a smaller lunch box and looking ripped 25lbs lighter ;-)
