So What's Up?

Things are going well here. Just trying to figure out this maintance thing. Obviously in the past I haven't done very well with trying to maintain my weight, so this makes me a little nervous! I have my good days and my bad days, but I weigh in every day to try to keep on track and that seems to be helping. How are things going for everyone else??? Tracy B 328/152 5'9"

Tracy, I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one that weghs every day. I believe it will keep us on the straight and narrow. I have been pretty much maintaing for a few months now. I eat the same things it seems like. Sometimes I really crave certain veggies and I will eat them for a long time and then its on to something else. How strange? Rhonda 312/164/155?

Rhonda, I eat pretty much the same things every day too~drives my family crazy, LOL! But its the easiest way for me to stay on track and I enjoy those foods so why not eat them every day as long as they're healthy! I also found when I posted on the Grads Board about weighing every day that alot of us do it just to stay accountable~that made me feel better too. I'm not obsessed with the scale, but I use it as a tool to keep me on track. Congrats on your weightloss! Tracy B 328/152 5'9"

I am still trying to lose more weight. I have been stuck for a while now, and learned from my surgeon that I need to eat less. So that has been interesting, but it seems as if the scale may actually be moving again. I can't wait to get to maintenance mode. I too eat the same things most of the time. It is easy, and I like the food I eat. It also helps planning meals easier. I too have good days and bad, and also weigh myself daily. i think it keeps me in check. I can't wait to weigh 160 lbs!

It sounds like you're on your way Margo! Glad to hear the scale is moving again! Congrats! Tracy B

I weigh myself every day. I am having some difficulty with the whole maintenance thing. But by weighing myself every day, I am able to keep on top of it and not let it get out of control. Dianne 259/128 5'5 1/2"

Dianne, I agree that weighing daily really helps! Maintenance is difficult b/c like I said, obviously I've never been good at it! So, I'm doing the best that I can. Staying on top of things will probably be my way of life forever I suppose. Hugs, Tracy B
